Product Bulletin 823377 sly2004 377 Trip Valve b200318X012 Principle of Operation 377D Trip Valve Innormal operation. supply pressure loads the upper diaphragm (see figure 3) ofthe unit, The valve plug spring keeps the exhaust port closed. Supply pressure also loads the lower diaphragm through the restriction, causing the plug assemblies to move dawn and isolate ports Cand F while connecting port Ato and port DtoE. 'Nosmal actuator control pressure flows from the control device to the top ofthe cylinder through ports ‘AandB and to the bottom of the cylinder through ports D and E, Avolume tank's charged to maximum supply pressure through a check valve in order to retain maximum supply pressure in the volume tank if supply pressure drops. When supply pressure falls below the trip point pressure inthe faildown mode (see figure 4), the exhaust port opens, venting the supply pressure that is, Toading the lower diaphragm. This causes the upper ports of the plug assemblies to close and shut off rhormal pressure flow from the control device to the actuator. Volume tank pressure then flows through ports Cand Bo the top ofthe actuator cylinder, while pressure in the bottom of the actuator cylinder s vented through ports E and F. The pressure imbalance created forces the actuator piston down, 3204 Figure 3. Simplified Sectional View of Trip Valve onnecron ror Porte ‘When supply pressure is restored, it loads the upper and lower diaphragms, causing the trip valve to reset, The exhaust port closes. The upper ports of the plug assemblies open, and the lawer ports clase. Normal actuator control pressure flow from the control device isrestored through ports A and B and ports D and €. The check valve opens and recharges the volume tank to the maximum supply pressure,377 Trip Valve 1200318K012 Figure 4.

The pressure imbalance created forces the actuator piston up. 3207 Makes use ofthe 37D or 377 trip valve configurations, apiston actuator, and volume tank with check valve to move the piston actuator to either ‘the up or dowa position, Requires the actuator and valve configuration for actual clockwise or counterclockwise movement,Product Bulletin 823377 sly2004 377 Trip Valve b200318X012 Volume Tank Sizing Note State and local regulations may require the use of [ASME-approved volume tanks. fis the user's esponsibility to determine requirements and applicable regulations for proper volume tank selection, Several different tanks of varying capacities are available. The volume tank must be selected so that its pressure at any time is greater than the minimum percentage of maximum supply pressure required to stroke the actuator (see figure 7). Figure 7.
