Regulators should be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with international and applicable codes and regulations, and Fisher instructions. If the valve vents fluid or a leak develops in the system, it indicates that service is required. Failure to take the regulator out of service immediately may create a hazardous condition. Personal injury, equipment damage, or leakage due to escaping fluid or bursting of pressure-containing parts may result if this regulator is overpressured or is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in the Specifications section, or where conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or piping connections. To avoid such injury or damage, provide pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting devices (as required by the appropriate code, regulation, or standard) to prevent service conditions from exceeding limits. Additionally, physical damage to the regulator could result in personal injury and property damage due to escaping fluid. To avoid such injury and damage, install the regulator in a safe location. Clean out all pipelines before installation of the regulator and check to be sure the regulator has not been damaged or has collected foreign material during shipping. For NPT bodies, apply pipe compound to the male pipe threads. For flanged bodies, use suitable line gaskets and approved piping and bolting practices. The regulator must be mounted so the actuator case is horizontal. The regulator should be mounted above the tank. For connections are required: a) blanketing gas supply to the regulator, b) vapor recovery/process connection (vent), c) system tank connection, and d) sensing line to the tank. Overpressure Protection The recommended pressure limitations are stamped on the regulator nameplate. Some type of overpressure protection is needed if the actual inlet pressure exceeds the maximum operating outlet pressure rating. Overpressure protection should also be provided if the regulator inlet pressure is greater than the safe working pressure of the downstream equipment. Regulator operation below the maximum pressure limitations does not preclude the possibility of damage from external sources or debris in the line. The regulator should be inspected for damage after any overpressure condition. D102773XENG 1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded. www.fisherregulators.com
Startup Slowly open the tank and sensing line shutoff valves (between the Type ACE97 and the tank). A tank vapor space pressure gauge should be installed and visible. Slowly open the inlet shutoff valve (to the pad valve) and leave it fully open. Adjustment The setpoint of this unit if factory set. If an adjustment is to be made, it should be made in small increments while the unit is controlling tank pressure. It is difficult to make field adjustments due to the slow changes in tank pressure. Taking Out of Service (Shutdown) To avoid personal injury resulting from sudden release of pressure, isolate the valve from all pressure before attempting disassembly.
