THERMAL DRAIN VALVE

FOR SOOT BLOWING STEAM SERVICE

General
The DeZURIK/Copes-Vulcan CV 600 Thermal
Drain Valve replaces traps, strainers and
bypass valves normally used in draining a
soot blowing system for which the blowing
medium is superheated steam. It rounds out
the automation of such a system.

Operating from the temperature of the

blowing steam, it holds that temperature
within a parameter provided by the steam
source. It assures the use of superheated
not saturated steam for blowing and
speeds operation of the soot blowing system,
helping to attain its design conditions.

Used with superheated steam from a proper

source, the Thermal Drain Valve assures only
dry steam for the soot blowing system. Its
proven ability to do so avoids difficulties
from moisture in the blowing steam, cutting
operating and maintenance costs.

A controller responsive to the temperature

of the blowing steam operates the
DeZURIK/Copes-Vulcan Thermal Drain Valve.
This valve is installed in the soot blower drain
piping just below the lowest band of soot
blowers in the system. The location assures
drainage of any condensation while the soot
blowing system is at rest. It remains open
on a cold start and does not start to close
until steam temperature reaches a predeter-
mined level of superheat. It then modulates
to its final closed position according to the
set-point.
Once the system is started on its blowing
cycle, the valve continues to float on the
line, modulating to maintain the correct
blowing steam temperature. When the soot
blowing cycle is completed and steam supply
valve closed, the Thermal Drain Valve is
opened wide to prevent condensate build-up
in the steam lines.
The DeZURIK/Copes-Vulcan Thermal Drain
Valve has trim of a special design to handle
water, superheated steam or a mixture of
steam and water.

When interlocked with the automatic soot
blowing system, the Thermal Drain Valve
clears the controls as required to start
operation of the system.
The stud-type bonnet permits precision metal-
to-metal contact, with perfect alignment of
bonnet and body. The resilient gasket is firmly
trapped and cannot be misaligned or improp-
erly compressed.

Forces resulting from movement of the

molded diaphragm are transmitted to the valve
trim by means of the yoke. This avoids any
critical problems of aligning valve spindle with
the diaphragm. Operating forces are also made
more positive.
