Introduction

Structure and Principle

The cut-off valve is composed of a pneumatic diaphragm actuator and a valve body, connected by three columns or brackets in the middle. There are three forms of shut-off valves: single seat (P), sleeve (M), and three-way (N).

The actuator has two forms: positive and negative. When the signal pressure input is 0.2Mpa, the push rod extends out of the diaphragm chamber (moves downward), which is called positive action, and cooperates with the valve to form an air tight type. When the signal pressure input is 0.2Mpa, the push rod retreats into the membrane chamber (moves upward), which is called a reaction and cooperates with the valve to form an air opening. Three way valve, due to the simultaneous presence of opening and closing inside the valve, there is no distinction between gas opening and gas closing. Its principle: When the signal pressure is 0, due to the pre tension force of the spring, the valve core is in its initial state, normally open or normally closed. When the signal pressure is input at 0.2Mpa, it acts on the diaphragm to generate thrust, compress the spring, drive the push rod and valve stem, and move the valve core to the limit position, achieving full valve closure (full open) or changing the flow direction of the medium. When the signal pressure input is "0", the force acting on the diaphragm disappears, and due to the reaction force of the spring, the valve core returns to its initial state.


Model preparation instructions

There are three main types of ZMQ type shut-off valves in our factory:
1. ZMQP: Pneumatic diaphragm single seat cut-off valve, such as ZMQP-16K: Pneumatic open type, the valve is normally closed when the actuator has no air source. B: Pneumatic closed type, the valve is normally open when the actuator has no air source. Z: Type of actuator; M: Membrane type; Q: Cut off valve; P: Valve core type, single seat; 16: Nominal pressure, PN1.6Mpa.
2. ZMQM: Pneumatic thin film sleeve shut-off valve, such as ZMQM-16K: K: Pneumatic open type; M: Valve core type, sleeve; B: Airtight type
3. ZMAQ16-3: Pneumatic diaphragm three-way shut-off valve; A: Positive effect

2. For the shut-off valves with DN250 - 350, our factory designs them specifically according to the users' process parameters.
3. For the single - seat hard - seal leakage data, the first row is the water test, △P = △PMAX; the second row is the gas test, △P = 0.35MPa.

Valve Installation & Maintenance
Valve Installation:
(1) Before installation, check that the product model, tag number, and specifications match the requirements. Inspect the entire valve for missing or loose parts.
(2) Prior to installation, clean the pipeline. Ensure there is sufficient straight pipe section at the valve inlet and install a filter. When connecting the valve body to the pipeline flanges, ensure coaxiality.
(3) Thoroughly clean the pipeline before installing the valve.
(4) The installation site should ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, facilitating operation, disassembly, and maintenance.
(5) The valve should be installed vertically upright on horizontal pipelines. If necessary, it can be installed at an angle, but horizontal installation should be avoided. For occasions with heavy valve weight or vibration, use a support frame.
(6) The medium flow direction must align with the arrow on the valve body. The air supply should be dry and oil-free. The valve should be used in environments with temperatures ranging from -20℃ to 55℃.

Valve Maintenance:
(1) Cleaning the Valve: For general media, cleaning with water is sufficient. For media harmful to health, first understand their properties and then select an appropriate cleaning method.
(2) Disassembly: Remove rust from exposed rusted parts first. Before derusting, protect the machined surfaces of precision parts such as the valve seat, valve plug, valve stem, and push rod. Use special tools when disassembling the valve seat.
(3) Valve Seat: Minor rust or wear on the sealing surface can be repaired by machining. If damage is severe, replace the seat. However, both repaired and replaced hard sealing surfaces must be lapped.
(4) Valve Stem: If the surface is damaged, it must be replaced.
(5) Damage to Push Rod, Guide, and Sealing Surfaces: Reverse-acting actuators must be replaced; direct-acting actuators can be reused after proper repair.
(6) Compression Spring: If there are cracks or other defects affecting strength, replace it immediately.
(7) Wear Parts: Packing, gaskets, and O-rings must be replaced entirely during each maintenance. Check the valve plug and diaphragm for cracks, aging, or corrosion that may cause future failures. Decide whether to replace them based on inspection results, but the diaphragm service life should not exceed 2-3 years.
(8) When reassembling the valve, ensure alignment. Tighten bolts diagonally and lubricate sliding parts. After reassembly, debug the valve according to the factory test items and methods. During this period, accurately adjust the packing compression force and the valve plug closing position.
