Question 8 uppose this valve control system has a problem. The control valve (LV-104) does not move to the full-open position as it should when the solenoid is de-energized, although it will move when the 4-20 ma current signal to the I/P transducer is varied while the solenoid is energized: UY-104 DE Vent LY 104 I / P LV-104 A..

Answer 1 Answers olenoid V-115 s all actuating air pressure from flow control valve FV- whenever its coil is de-energized. Thus, V-115 is normally energized to maintain actuating air pressure to FV-. olenoids V-111, V-112, and V-113 act to pre fuel gas from reaching the incinerator s burner assembly when the Burner Management ystem (BM) sends a trip signal. V-111 and V-112 are block valves, while V-113 is a bleed ( ) valve, making this a double-block and bleed valve arrangement. A similar solenoid valve arrangement can be seen on the pilot burner gas line with solenoids V-101, V-102, and V-103. Answer 2 Identify the statuses of V-92 and LV-92 when the separator boot liquid level is at or below the normal level of 1 foot 4 inches. LV-92 will be closed, and V-92 s coil will be de-energized. Describe how this system responds to high liquid levels in the separator boot. If LT-92 senses a high liquid level, controller LIC-92 will respond by applying electrical power to V-92. When V-92 actuates, it sends instrument air to the diaphragm actuator of LV-92 to cause that drain valve to open. As LV-92 drains liquid out of the boot, the level sensed by LT-92 decreases over time, eually to a point where controller LIC-92 stops sending power to the coil of V-92. What will be the consequence of an instrument air supply failure, as it relates to the separator boot liquid level? Without instrument air supply (IA), the level drain valve LV-92 can never open and the separator boot liquid level will rise unabated. Eually LHH-231 will detect the high-high level condition and command the Emergency hut-down (ED) system to turn the compressor off in order to avoid damaging that machine. What will be the consequence of an AC power failure to LIC-92? Without AC power to energized the coil of solenoid V-92, the level drain valve LV-92 will never be commanded to open by V-92 and the separator boot liquid level will rise unabated. Eually LHH-231 will detect the high-high level condition and command the Emergency hut-down (ED) system to turn the compressor off in order to avoid damaging that machine. Answer 3 The typical status of the output switch contact on TY- (NO or NC) TY- s output must typically be conducting (switch contacts closed) in order to pass AC power on to the coil of the solenoid valve and maintain its normally energized status. The effect of an AC power loss from breaker #4 the solenoid coil would de-energized, ing air pressure from the input of TV- and causing that process valve to go to its fail (closed) position. The effect of the solenoid becoming plugged or accidently capped by a technician If ever the discrete controller TY- commands the solenoid valve to trip, it would force TV- to hold its position rather than close as it should. 9
