Replacement of Satchwell "AL..S" series Spring Return Linear Actuator by S-E M700 Spring Return Linear Actuator due to obsolescence.(Actuator Selection)

Issue Satchwell “AL..S” series Spring Return Linear Actuator requires replacement Product Line Field Devices Environment Satchwell “AL..S” series Spring Return Linear Actuator installed on Satchwell MJF, MZ, MZF, VJF, VSF, VZ or VZF series Plug and Seat Valve Body. Actuator type :- AL..S series. Cause Obsolescence of Satchwell AL..S series Spring Return Linear Actuator. Resolution Replace Satchwell AL..S series Spring Return Linear Actuator with S-E M700 Spring Return Linear Actuator and Linkage Kit : AL..S = M700 + L7SV (880-0126-000) Linkage Kit. N.B. M700 is available with two different spring return actions M700 - SRSU (880-0430-000) = Spring Return Spring Up          ( M700 - SRSU will CLOSE a Satchwell Valve.) M700 - SRSD (880-0440-000) = Spring Return Spring Down     ( M700 - SRSD will OPEN a Satchwell Valve.) Should the Satchwell AL..S series Actuator include a wired Auxiliary Switch then the following S-E M700 Actuator specifications which include 2 independent 24 volt 4 amp AC-1 rated SPDT Auxiliary End Point Switches should be considered as appropriate: M700 - S2 - SRSU (880-0431-000) M700 - S2 - SRSD (880-0441-000) Alternatively Auxiliary Switch Pack S2 (880-0104-000) - Two independent 24 volt 4 amp AC-1 rated SPDT Auxiliary End Point Switches may be purchased separately permitting local installation.  Particular care should be taken when selecting a TAC Forta M700 Spring Return Actuator to replace an existing Satchwell ALMS, ALXS or ALES Spring Return Actuator.  Please refer to Replacement of Satchwell "AL..S" series Spring Return Linear Actuator by S-E M700 Spring Return Linear Actuator due to obsolescence.(Actuator Wiring).

Replacement of Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body controlled by Satchwell Spring Return Actuator due to obsolescence.

Issue Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body controlled by Satchwell Spring Return Actuator requires replacement. Environment Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body installed in Water or Steam Control Valve applications. Cause Obsolescence of Satchwell VSF or VJF Control Valve Body. Resolution STEAM APPLICATION 1.  Replace Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body with S-E Two-Port Flanged Valve Body. Where an existing Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body is utilised in a STEAM application, then the VSF or VJF Valve Body should be replaced by a suitably sized S-E VGS211F Valve Body, thus enabling steam having a steam inlet pressure up to 1300 kPa and a temperature up to 200 deg C to be controlled. It should be noted however that the face-to-face dimension and overall dimensions of each S-E Valve Body will differ to those of the Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body. It should also be noted that the operation of the VGS211F Valve Spindle is the reverse of that of the VSF or VJF Valve Spindle. When the VGS211F Valve Spindle is UP, or in the fully extended position, then the Valve is OPEN. Similarly, when the VGS211F Valve Spindle is DOWN, or in the fully retracted position, then the Valve is CLOSED This will therefore result in the need to replace the existing Satchwell Actuator with the correct model of S-E M700 Actuator, in order to ensure the correct operation of the Valve Body in the event of electrical power failure. It is important that the above limitations are recognised when replacing a Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body with a S-E VGS211F Valve Body in retrofit projects. Such limitations do not apply to new projects where a new S-E VGS211F Valve Body and a new S-E  M700 Actuator are being selected, providing of course that an Actuator having the correct spring action in the event of electrical power failure is selected. N.B. Steam Control Valves are normally required to CLOSE in the event of electrical power failure. In the case of the S-E VGS211F therefore the S-E M700 SRSD Actuator should be selected. WATER APPLICATION 1.  Replace Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body with S-E Two-Port Flanged Valve Body. A number of alternative models of S-E Two-Port Flanged Valve Bodies are available to replace existing Satchwell VSF or VJF Two-Port Flanged Valve Bodies. It should be noted however that the face-to-face dimension and overall dimensions of each S-E Valve Body will differ to those of the Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body.

Wiring configuration enabling connection of S-E Forta Actuator set in Increase / Decrease mode to early discrete Satchwell Climatronic CSC/CXR/CXT Controller.

Issue Wiring configuration enabling connection of S-E Forta Actuator set in Increase / Decrease mode to early discrete Satchwell Climatronic CSC/CXR/CXT Controller. Environment S-E Forta Actuator set in Increase / Decrease mode connected to early discrete Satchwell Climatronic CSC/CXR/CXT Controller. Cause Obsolescence of previous Actuator connected to early discrete Satchwell Climatronic CSC/CXR/CXT Controller. Resolution 1.  Connect S-E Forta Actuator set in Increase / Decrease mode to early discrete Satchwell Climatronic CSC/CXR/CXT Controller.  It should be noted that when connecting a S-E Forta Actuator set in Increase / Decrease operation mode to an early discrete Satchwell Climatronic CSC/CXR/CXT Controller it may be necessary to wire the Actuator in a 24v OPEN / 24v CLOSE / 0v COMMON configuration instead of the 0v OPEN / 0v CLOSE / 24v COMMON configuration as shown in the S-E Forta Actuator Data Sheets. 2.  With S-E Forta Actuator DIL Switch No.2 set ON in Increase / Decrease mode wire to the S-E Forta Actuator terminals as follows :- 24v Supply – wire to Terminal G 0v   Supply – wire to Terminal G0 24v Open signal – wire to Terminal VH 24v Close signal – wire to Terminal VC N.B. This deviation from the standard S-E Forta Actuator installation method should be recorded in the site Operating & Maintenance manual. A 24v supply must be present across Terminals G / G0 for the S-E Forta Actuator to work satisfactorily. A 4-wire connection must be made to the S-E Forta Actuator, instead of the 3-wire connection made to any Satchwell Actuator it is replacing. It is important to ensure that the 24v Power Supply to both the S-E Forta Actuator and the Satchwell Climatronic Controller share the same 0v potential. It is also important to ensure that the 24v Power Supply is capable of providing the higher level of VA required to operate the S-E Forta Actuator compared to that of any Actuator that it may be replacing.

Replacement for Drayton A703 Immersion Temperature Sensor by S-E STP600D

Issue Replacement for Drayton A703 Immersion Temperature Sensor by S-E STP600D Product Line Field Devices Environment Drayton A703 Immersion Temperature Sensor installation. Cause Obsolescence of Drayton A703 Immersion Temperature Sensor Resolution 1.  Replace Drayton A703 Immersion Temperature Sensor with S-E STP600D The S-E STP600D provides the same functionality as the Drayton A703, differing only in its appearance and dimensions. The S-E STP600D Terminals are not polarised. N.B. It should be noted that the S-E STP600D is not supplied with a compatible Pocket. If it is not possible to utilise the existing Drayton Pocket, then a 100mm S-E Pocket (9121041000-Brass or 9121051000-Stainless Steel) should be selected as appropriate and in order to comply with the system requirements. There is a intentional gap between the top of the pocket, and the sensor housing, to ensure the probe tip touches the end of the pocket.

DC1100 & DC1400 Optimiser / Compensator Controller Cold Start .

Issue DC1100 & DC1400 Optimiser / Compensator Controller Cold Start malfunction. Environment DC1100 Optimiser / Compensator Controller. DC1400 Optimiser / Compensator Controller Cause DC1100 & DC1400 Optimiser / Compensator malfunction preventing Cold Start procedure being undertaken.. Resolution 1.  Repeat DC1100 & DC1400 Controller Cold Start procedure. A manufacturing problem experienced with the DC1100 and DC1400 may result in difficulty applying the Cold Start procedure. Faults have been reported in respect of a number of DC1100 Controllers in particular, where difficulty has been experienced when applying the Cold Start procedure. The fault appears in those Controllers where the Enter and Exit Keys foul their respective cut-outs in the Top Cover Panel, thus preventing Cold Start from being achieved. This is due to a conflict in assembly tolerances that can cause the Keys to remain depressed after they have been pressed in, due to their being trapped by the cut-outs they should pass through. In such instances it may be necessary to undertake the Cold Start procedure a number of times before any trapped Key is released sufficiently to enable resetting of the Controller to be achieved. Actions are currently in hand to rectify this matter and the positioning of the cut-outs in the Top Cover Panel relative to the Key positions has been addressed from a design point of view. Examples of the Top Cover Panel incorporating newly dimensioned cut-outs are not due to be available for inclusion in production assemblies until Week Number 2010 45 at the earliest however. Consequently current production assemblies incorporating the existing Top Cover Panel will continue to be utilised in all newly manufactured Controllers for the moment at least. Similarly an opportunity will not arise until Week 2010 45 for any Controllers currently held in stock in S-E Sweden to be re-worked to include the new Top Cover Panel prior to their sale.

S-E L2SV Linkage Kit and S-E L7SV Linkage Kit compatibility with Satchwell Plug and Seat Valve Bodies.

Issue S-E L2SV Linkage Kit and S-E L7SV Linkage Kit compatibility with Satchwell Plug and Seat Valve Bodies. Environment Satchwell 1 series Plug and Seat 2-port and 3-port Valve Bodies. Satchwell 2 series Plug and Seat 2-port and 3-port Valve Bodies. Satchwell 3 series Plug and Seat 2-port and 3-port Valve Bodies. Satchwell 7 series Plug and Seat 2-port and 3-port Valve Bodies. Cause Use the correct S-E Linkage Kit with Satchwell Plug and Seat Valve bodies. Resolution 1.  Observe specification number of Satchwell Plug and Seat Valve Body Generally where a Satchwell AL series Linear Actuator is fitted to a Satchwell plug and seat Valve Body, the Actuator may be replaced by an equivalent S-E Forta or MV15B series Linear Actuator and appropriate S-E Linkage Kit. It should be noted however that neither the S-E L2SV Linkage Kit nor the S-E L7SV Linkage Kit will enable an S-E Forta or MV15B series Linear Actuator to be mounted on a Satchwell 7 series MZ/MZF or a Satchwell 7 series VZ/VZF plug and seat Valve Body. The internal screw threads of the Neck Adaptors included in the S-E L2SV Linkage Kit (880 – 0124 – 000) and S-E L7SV (880 – 0126 - 000) Linkage Kit are compatible with the external screw threads on Satchwell 1, 2 & 3 series Valve Body necks only. The external screw threads on Satchwell 7 series Valve Body necks however differ to those on Satchwell 1, 2 & 3 series Valve Body necks. Consequently neither the S-E L2SV Linkage Kit nor the S-E L7SV Linkage Kit will enable an S-E Forta or MV15B series Linear Actuator to be mounted on a Satchwell 7 series Valve Body. A S-E Forta series Linear Actuator may be mounted on a Satchwell 7 series Valve Body however using Linkage Kit 880 – 0135 – 000.  No equivalent Linkage Kit is currently available for use with the MV15B series Linear Actuator. The Satchwell Valve Body series may be determined from the Valve Body specification number stamped on the Valve Body Identification Collar, where the single middle digit of the specification number denotes the series. In the case of a Satchwell 7 series Valve Body for instance the single middle digit of the specification number will be the number 7 (e.g. 626 – 7 – 402)

Cause S-E MD20 Actuator Clamp Drive Shaft Clip cut out undersized. Resolution Measure diameter of S-E MD20 Actuator Clamp Drive Shaft Clip cut out. S-E MD20 Actuator Clamp Drive Shaft Clip cut out diameter should be 47mm Replace S-E MD20 Actuator Clamp Drive Shaft Clip with another having modified cut out if dimension less than 47mm. The diameter of the cut out in the original LMD/AR-MBF Linkage Kit Mounting Platform was such that the MD20 Actuator Drive Shaft Clip could be prevented from turning freely with the Drive Shaft. The LMD/AR-MBF Mounting Platform was modified in August 2007, when the diameter of the cut out in the Mounting Platform was increased to 47mm, thus overcoming the fouling of the MD20 Actuator Drive Shaft Clip. It is possible to ascertain whether the LMD/AR-MBF Mounting Platform in use is of the original or modified design by measuring the diameter of the cut out in the Mounting Platform If the diameter of the LMD/AR-MBF Mounting Platform cut out is less than 47mm, then the MD20 Actuator Drive Shaft Clip will foul the LMD/AR-MBF Mounting Platform. The MD20 Actuator Drive Shaft Clip however is retained in a groove within the Drive Shaft and whilst the Clip may be prevented from turning freely with the Drive Shaft, the turning of the Drive Shaft itself will not be impeded.

S-E VZ29 / VZ39 / VZ49 Valve Body produces excessive let by due to S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override set to value other than ZERO.

Issue S-E VZ29 / VZ39 / VZ49 Valve Body produces excessive let-by.   Environment S-E VZ29 2-port Valve Body controlled by S-E MZ20 series Actuator. S-E VZ39 3-port Valve Body controlled by S-E MZ20 series Actuator. S-E VZ49 4-port Valve Body controlled by S-E MZ20 series Actuator. Cause S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override set to value other than ZERO Resolution 1.  Check S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override facility is set to ZERO. 2.  If S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override facility is set to ZERO then investigate Valve Body condition / duty compatibility. Instances of excessive let-by experienced with S-E Valve Bodies from the VZ29 / VZ39 / VZ49 family may result from the setting of the Manual Override facility on the S-E MZ20 series Actuator controlling it, rather than the Valve Body itself. S-E MZ20A and MZ20B Actuators include a Manual Override facility, comprising a screw, accessed through a hole in the top of the Actuator, which may be raised and lowered by means of a 3mm Allen Key inserted through the hole in the top of the Actuator. The Manual Override position is required to be set to ZERO upon manufacture.  If the screw is not set to the ZERO position prior to dispatch however, then this may result in the Valve Spindle being depressed by the amount of Manual Override applied. Where a Valve Body is letting by excessively, then initially the Actuator Manual Override setting should be checked and reset to ZERO if necessary.

TAC Valve Body published Cv values may differ markedly to equivalent Kv values due to use of Cv values based on US Gallons per minute rather than U.K. Gallons per minute.

Issue TAC Valve Body published Cv values may differ markedly to equivalent Kv values.  Environment TAC Valve Body published data utilised when sizing and selecting S-E / TAC Control Valves. Cause TAC Valve Body published Cv values based on flow rates measured in U.S. Gallons per minute rather that U.K.Gallons per minute., Resolution Check published Cv value relative to published Kv value stated for TAC Valve Body. If published Cv value is within 3% of published Kv value then Cv value may be used for sizing / selection of Valve Body. If published Cv value is up to 17% higher than Kv value then Cv value should not be used for sizing / selection of Valve Body. Cv values published in older TAC Valve Body Data Sheets should be checked before considering use in U.K. valve sizing formula. Numerous TAC Valve Body Data Sheets show that for a particular Kv value, the equivalent Cv value is approximately 17% higher than the Kv value. For example, where TAC Valve Body Data Sheet shows Kv = 10, then equivalent Cv = 11.7 or in other words Cv = Kv x 1.17 Cv values published in Satchwell Valve Body Data Sheets however show the relationship between Kv and Cv as:- Kv = Cv x 1.03 or in other words Cv = Kv x 0.97 This difference in equivalent values is due to Cv values stated in some TAC Data Sheets being based on flow rates measured in U.S. Gallons per minute, while those Cv values stated in Satchwell Data Sheets however are based on flow rates measured in U.K. Gallons per minute. If flow rates are measured in U.S. Gallons per minute, then the following conversion factor applies :- Kv = Cv x 0.86, as the U.S. Gallon is smaller than the U.K. Gallon. Taking published TAC Valve Body Data Sheet information therefore, where the Cv value is stated as 11.7 and the Kv value is stated as 10, confirms that the conversion factor Kv = Cv x 0.86 ( 11.7 x 0.86 = 10 ) has been applied, further confirming that published Cv values are in fact based on U.S. Gallons and not U.K. Gallons. Consequences of this are as follows : - If it is assumed that the published Cv value is a U.K. Cv value, when in fact it is a U.S. Cv value, and the published Cv value is then used as a basis for valve sizing and selection, then this will result in a smaller Valve Body being selected than would otherwise be the case. Consequently, once installed, the selected Valve Body will produce a much higher pressure drop and correspondingly higher authority for a given flow rate than would otherwise have been the case. In practice the installation of an undersized Control Valve can result in starvation of flow to the item of plant being controlled and the potentially costly replacement of the Valve Body for another of a larger size. Similarly, the installation of an undersized Control Valve will result in a greater pressure drop being applied to the hydraulic circuit than may be desirable and could lead to an adverse effect on the performance of the associated circulating pump. It is important to ensure therefore that where both Kv and Cv values are published for a given Valve Body, the Kv value is utilised when undertaking valve sizing and selection.  This should ensure that a Valve Body of the correct size is selected. Measures are currently in place to actively remove all references to Cv values from both S-E / TAC Data Sheets and all future editions of the S-E HVAC Valves and Actuators Catalogue.

How do I select an actuator and valve combination?

Issue How do I select an actuator and valve combination? Environment Actuator Valve Cause Select the correct actuator and valve part numbers. Resolution Refer to the TAC Catalog F-27414-*. Read the section on valve part numbers. Select the valve body needed. Refer to Catalog F-27382-*. Read through the actuator selection for MA, MC, MF, MK, MM, Mp, and MS to identify the desired actuator. Refer to TAC Catalog F-27414-*. find the page with the chosen actuator valve combination. Verify from the close off table that the actuator will meet the valve performance requirements. Turn to the actuator assembly code table and select the assembly code needed to complete the valve assembly number. ie: Vx-XXXX-XXX-X-XX. Order valve. If valve is not available as a factory assembly, order the individual parts and field assemble. The valve close off table provides the correct linkage kit required to couple the actuator and valve body, not all actuators require linkage kits.
