Introduction
WARNING
A Warning identifies a hazard that could cause injury to personnel.
The text of the warning describes the hazard and details of the
precautions that must be applied before the next step of the procedure
is carried out.
CAUTION
A Caution identifies a hazard that could cause damage to equipment.
The text of the caution describes the hazard and details of the
precautions that must be applied before the next step of the
procedure is carried out.
Note
A Note contains supplementary information that may be useful to the
Operator and may appear before or after a particular step in the procedure.

2.1 Overview
The 2230C and 4430B Temperature Sensing Valves are normally closed, two-
way valves which are opened when the temperature of the process medium
increases above a preset setpoint.
The control pressure applied to the valve can be air, gas or lubricating oil and
is vented when the valve opens. This reduces the control pressure to an AMOT
Master Safety Control or other device to protect the engine when high
temperature is detected.
The orifice ensures that the pressure drop is transmitted to the shutdown
system device in large volume systems.
Description
Under normal conditions, the inlet pressure is prevented from reaching the
vent port by the valve seat assembly which is held closed by the spring.
When the temperature rises above the setpoint, the valve seat is lifted by the
pushrod and the inlet pressure is connected to the vent port.
When the temperature falls, the valve seat assembly is closed again by spring
pressure.

3.1 Install the Valve ........................................................................ 11
To ensure that the pressure drop is felt at the engine control device.
An orifice must be fitted in the control medium input line. Suitable
orifices for a wide range of control media are available from
AMOT.
Pipe lengths must be kept as short as possible to minimise the
control medium volume.
1 Install the Valve into the pipe fitting or thermowell using a quality thread
sealant such as Loctite ™ Pipe Sealant to the pipe thread connections.
If required, two types of stainless steel well can be used. Refer to the
Technical Data, Section 6, page 19 for pressure limits.

Installation
2 Connect the control medium to the “IN” port using a quality thread
sealant such as Loctite ™ Pipe Sealant to the pipe thread connections -
8.62 bar (125 psi) maximum.
CAUTION
If the Valve is located in a hazardous area, the “VENT” port must be
connected by a pipe that vents outside the hazardous area.

4.1 Introduction
The 2230C/4430B Temperature Sensing Valve operates with no manual
intervention and resets automatically.
If the optional AMOT 4054C Trip Indicator is used, the red plunger must be
pushed in to reset it after the temperature has fallen below the setpoint.

CAUTION
To satisfy the ATEX requirements, the external surface of the Valve
must be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent the accumulation of
potentially flammable dirt/spillages.
5.1 Introduction
There are no user serviceable components in the 2230/4430 Temperature
sensing Valves.
1 Ensure that the process and control mediums are cooled, drained and
isolated.
2 Remove the Valve from the pipework.
3 Fit a device to the “VENT” port to provide an indication when the Valve
trips.
4 Fit a 4 bar (60 psi) pressure source to the “IN” port.
5 Immerse the Valve temperature element into a container filled with well
agitated water or glycol (depending on the temperature) and a
thermometer to indicate the temperature.

Maintenance
CAUTION
To prevent damage, do not exceed the maximum temperature of the
Valve. Refer to the Technical Data, Section 6.
6 Apply the inlet pressure of 4 bar (60 psi) and slowly heat the liquid in the
container until the Valve trips.
7 Note the thermometer reading and ensure that it indicates the correct
setpoint.
Note
The Valve starts to bleed control pressure at 1 to 2° C (2 to 4° F) below the
setpoint.
8 Allow the Valve to cool and ensure that it closes when the temperature
falls below the setpoint.
9 If the “VENT” port leaks in the ‘cold’ condition or the setpoint requires
adjustment, return to AMOT at the address shown on the back cover of
this manual.
