2 Safety

2.1 Intended use

The double seat valve K is used for the mixproof separation of cleaning media at

flow path intersections in pipe systems without the possibility of leakage chamber

cleaning. It can be used as cleaning and gas valve in CIP systems and gas

fittings.

The medium should preferably flow in the opening direction of the valve disc to

avoid pipe hammers when the valve is opened or closed.

If the valve is used in the opposite direction (valve closing), a damping cylinder

can be used to avoid pressure drops.

Do not install the valve in spring-opening, as this will open when there is a current

or air failure and leads to product mixing.

In a closed pipe system, hydraulic pressure build-up may occur when the valve

switches and result in seal damage.

Hint!

The manufacturer will not accept any liability for damage resulting

from any use of the valve which is not in accordance with the

designated use of the valve. The risk is borne solely by the operating

company.

2.1.1 Requirements for operation

The prerequisite for reliable and safe operation of the component is proper

transportation and storage as well as professional installation and assembly.

Operating the unit within the limits of its designated use also involves adhering to

the operating, inspection and maintenance instructions.

2.1.2 Pressure equipment directive

The component is a piece of pressure equipment (without safety function) in the

sense of the pressure equipment directive 2014/68/EU. Classified according to

Annex II in category 1.

According to the scope of directive 2014/34/EC, article 1, paragraph 2, f, the

exception of the directive applies, due to conformity with the machine directive

2006/42/EU.

The nominal diameters smaller than DN 25 are subject to article 4, paragraph 3

of the Pressure Equipment Directive which specifies sound engineering practice.

Nominal diameters ≥ IPS 4“; DN 125 valid for the fluid group II.

In the event of any deviations, GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH will supply a specific

Declaration of Conformity.

2.1.3 ATEX directive

In areas with an explosive atmosphere, only valves suitable for use in such areas

may be used.

Safety

Intended use

430BAL008372EN_4

11.03.2022 9

Refer to and observe the additional operating instructions “ATEX version valves”.

For details regarding the marking of valves for potentially hazardous areas also

refer to the additional operating instructions “ATEX version valves”.

If these valves are used in areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere, you

must absolutely comply with directive 2014/34/EC with respect to all ignition

hazards.

2.1.4 Improper operating conditions

The operational reliability of the valve cannot be ensured under improper

operating conditions. Therefore avoid improper operating conditions.

Operating the valve is not permitted if

•Persons or objects are in the danger zone.

•Safety devices are not working or were removed.

•Malfunctions have been detected on the valve.

•Damage has been detected on the valve.

•Maintenance intervals have been exceeded.

2.2 Operator’s Duty of Care

In your capacity as operator of the facility you bear a particular responsibility for

the proper and safe handling of the valve in your facility. Only use the valve when

it is in perfect condition to prevent danger to persons and property.

These Operating Instructions contain the information you and your staff need for

the safe and reliable operation during the entire service life of the valve. Be sure

to read these Operating Instructions carefully and ensure that the measures

described here are observed.

The operator's duty of care includes planning the necessary safety measures and

monitoring that these measures are observed. The following principles apply:

•Only allow qualified staff to work on the valve.

•The operator must authorize the staff to carry out the relevant tasks.

•Working areas and the entire environment of the valve must be neat and

clean.

•The staff must wear suitable work clothing and personal protective equipment.

As the operator of the facility make sure that work clothing and personal

protective equipment are used.

•Instruct the staff with regard to any properties of the product which might pose

a health risk and the preventative measures to be taken.

•Have a qualified first-aider on call during the operation, who can initiate the

necessary first-aid measures in case of an emergency.

•Clearly define processes, lines of authority and responsibilities associated

with the valve. Everybody must know what to do in case of an emergency.

Instruct the staff in this respect at regular intervals.
