Page: 3/8 1 SCOPE The purpose of this specification is to define the procedure for using diaphragm cylinder valves for the transport of fluids. 2 REFERENCE TYPES Families 74700 (simple phase with relief valve) 74900 (simple phase without relief valve) 75500 (dual phase) Subfamilies Fluids carried Seat tightness 000 Refrigerant Seat disk PA 6.6 100 Refrigerant Seat disk PVDF 200 Inflammable Seat disk PVDF 400 SO2 Seat disk PVDF 500 SF6 Seat disk PA 6.6 600 Inflammable HFO- 1234yf Seat disk PA 6.6 700 Toxic inflammable OE Seat disk PCTFE 3 PRESENTATION ERMETO diaphragm valves are forged brass valves, equipped with polyamide handwheels, which are fitted to aluminium or steel cylinders for the transport of fluids. There are two types: single-phase valves and double-phase valves. 3.1 Single-Phase Valves The valves are generally equipped with dip tube nozzles which, connected to a polyamide tube, are used to transfer the fluid in the liquid phase (it is possible to transfer the fluid in the gaseous phase by omitting to connect the dip tube or by turning the cylinder upside down). The polyamide tube is connected to the nozzle or to the quick connector. 3.2 Double-Phase Valves Double-phase valves are equipped with two handwheels: one for use in the liquid phase (red handwheel) and the other for use in the gaseous phase (blue handwheel). They may have one or two outlets. A polyamide tube is necessary for the liquid phase. The gaseous phase may be fitted with a level tube which, cut to a specific length, enables the recovery of the fluids.
Page: 4/8 4 ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT (accessories) 4.1 Anti-Charging Device Most valves are equipped with an anti-charging device which prevents cylinder refilling by unauthorized companies or persons. It also enables to maintain a residual pressure in the cylinder, which can be increased or decreased according to the spring setting, according to the customer s request. Cylinders equipped with an anti-charging valve can only be filled using special equipment. For example: quick-fitting manual charging clamp OT13008 code 969005. 4.2 Safety Valve The valves can also be equipped with safety valves to prevent a cylinder burst (the safety valve opens in case of excess pressure). The absence of the red adhesive patch on the safety valve indicates that it has been triggered. In this case, the safety valve must be replaced. 4.3 Bursting Disc The valves can also be equipped with bursting discs to prevent a cylinder burst (the disc breaks in the event of overpressure). Avoid the fast transitions in pressure (peaks, hammers blow...) which could result in reaching a level of pressure involving the rupture of the disc. 4.4 Fuse type single valve ( Marine valve) The valves can also be equipped with a fuse type valve (security device which melts in case of temperature rising to allow cylinder emptying). 4.5 Pressurizing Valve This is used when the cylinder is almost empty and there is insufficient pressure. It enables a neutral gas (nitrogen) to be introduced in order to pressurize the liquid phase of a cylinder. This operation ensures that the liquid flows through the valve at a satisfactory rate. 4.6 Purging It is used to dose the filling of callipering bottles. 4.7 Quick connector (connection dip tube) The valves can also be equipped with a quick connector at their low end. This connector can replace the nozzle of the dip tube and offers the possibility of fitting and removing various dip tubes. The assembly is carried out simply by pushing the tube into the connector until the stop limit, approximately 20 mm; disassembling is done by pressing back the outer part of the connector and pulling off the tube. The device is designed for a maximum of 5 connections/disconnections. During installation, make sure the tube is well positioned and in abutment in the valve body and is well maintained.
