range on offer from REISCO vis-a-vis it’s competitors. We endeavour to continuously
improve our service delivery channels whilst being concerned to update the production

Besides the technically qualified and experienced staff, local partners play a distinctive
role in actively promoting trade operations of REISCO in Qatar.

Market expansion strategies

REISCO plans to branch out and expand it’s market base. Prospect markets in Kuwait
and Oman has attracted REISCO’s specific attention. Client is presently in the process of
entertaining negotiations to venture into the prospect markets with independent profit and
cost centers.

REISCO also contemplates to outsource the supply and installation of their specialized
product range to select subcontractors. They however opt to retain an alternate strategy to
entertain Client orders via direct supplies from main contractor or by RIESCO itself. This
option would require REISCO to initiate their own and independent maintenance unit to
upkeep with the quality of services on offer and improve related business activities with
minimal disruptions. On an overall they expect to streamline related business processes
with the supply department via established active links.

MANUFACTURER
COMPANY PROFILE
Working with air valves
Water under control

The company was founded in 1987 by transforming the former CSA, which was a trading company dealing
with pipes and valves for water networks, into a manufacturing company, through the research and realization
of pillar fire hydrants. These were compliant with the UNI 9485 regulation, which was at the approval stage.
Since then many other products have been added.
The history of our company is characterised by years of technical and commercial research, which have enabled
us to offer a complete range of valves designed for controlling, regulating and protecting the pipelines under
pressure in both waterworks and sewage lines as well as fire hydrants.
Our many industrial patents and innovative technical solutions, together with modern and attractive style of
design, have made it possible to differentiate our products from those offered by competitors and have allowed
us to become a point of reference in our sector.
Flexibility and reliability have been the key points of CSA’s rapid growth over the last few years. We are perfectly
aware that we are managing the world’s most precious resource and, motivated by this responsibility and the
commitment towards our customers, we have dedicated ourselves to constantly improving our products, placing
them at the highest levels of quality.

Quality
In the manufacturing business today, quality
is the fundamental requirement for achieving
and maintaining a growing market share.
For this reason we have always aimed at
developing a synergy between the various
sectors of the company and thus ensuring:
- Quick and precise answers;
- Evaluation of data received and immediate
response;
-Rigorous control of incoming and outgoing

The control and management of air in pipelines used for water supply is often a
hidden problem, sometimes damages and inefficiencies coming from the absence
of air valves are underestimated. This catalogue aims at imparting the basics
fundamentals about the problems caused by the presence of air in pipelines, how
to solve it and the procedure for a proper air valves sizing and location.

How air enters pipe systems


Water used in civil engineering applications contains a percentage of dissolved air which is approximately 2%,
as a result of pressure drop or increase in temperature it can come out of solution. This effect is even greater
in sewage applications because of the bacterial activity that may lead to the formation of gas.
In addition to the air coming out of solution the most common ways in which air enters our systems are:

- entrainment at the inflow or outflow locations;


- entrainment due to vortices at the inlet;
- air inlet through pumps because of low sump level;
- hydraulic jumps that may form on the descending slopes;
- negative pressure at the inlet of the pipe;
- air can enter the pipe at those sections where joints and fittings are located, in case of negative pressure
conditions;
- incomplete air evacuation when filling the conduct.
- localized head losses like modulating valves, variations of pipe DN, changes of direction.

4
Why air is a problem
The presence of air pockets distributed along the pipe profile is responsible for the following problems:
- Air pockets reduce the effective cross section increasing headloss and reducing the capacity in terms of flow
rate eventually interrupting the water supply;
-During hydraulic transients the presence of air pockets, that are strongly compressed and deformed, are likely
to amplify the surge pressures experienced;
- Air pockets will lead to hydraulic jumps in the pipe and blow back effects with vibrations and structural damages
of the system;
- Air will cause difficulties in measuring and filter operations;
- The presence of air pockets will reduce pump efficiency;
- In ferrous pipes the presence of air will enhance corrosion having compressed oxygen in contact with the
wet wall of the pipe itself;
- Air pockets, if not properly released, will grow up to a certain volume given by the hydrodynamic force, above
which they split causing variations in pressure;
- The presence of air pockets will increase the total headloss of the system requiring a higher pump’s power
and energy costs.

As above explained, air must be released in high quantities from the pipe system and it is also very important
to let air in to avoid negative pressure problems when the following arise:
- a breakage causing water leakage;
- accidental and uncontrolled draining operations.

The following picture is showing the typical problems caused by H


the presence of air pockets accumulated in pumping systems.
The air pockets and the consequent reduction of the flow rate
capacity is evident looking at the working point obtained by the
intersection between the pump’s curve and the hydraulic resistance
of the system. If we indicate the design working point by green the
presence of air pockets will make it move to the left, becoming
red, reducing the flow rate and increasing the pump’s head at the
same time (with a higher cost of energy). The downside effect is
also the increased cost of the pump’s maintenance.
Q

5
Increases of head losses caused by air
On the pictures depicted below it is clearly shown what happens during pipe filling without air valves, both in
case of gravity and pumping mains. On the first phase water is moving downwards pushing air to the end of
the line. At the high points, or changes in slopes in descending segments, some of the air remains localized
on the upper part of the pipe, while the rest is pushed by the force of water flowing underneath. As soon as
this happens the air pocket is pressurized, and it moves to reach the final position of balance with its volume
slighty reduced.
The hydraulic flush of air pockets is possible in descending segments only and if the velocity is high enough.
In some situations the total head loss obtained by the sum of all the air pockets, localized throughout the
systems, is higher than the hydraulic energy available to allow the water supply (like pump’s head and difference
in tank elevation). If that happens we will be likely to generate a dangerous increase in pressure at the pumping
stations or, in case of gravity lines, spillover from the upstream tank.

6
Importance of pipe profiles
All pipelines must be designed to create a saw-toothed layout with slopes laid at minimum of 2-3% for downward
slopes and 0,2-0,3% for upward slopes. This structure helps air accumulation in the highest parts and thus
its discharge through air release valves properly located, nevertheless for practical reasons downward slopes
with lower gradients are also used in practice as well as sub horizontal segments. This is not recommended
since air would not accumulate in one point but it would travel uncontrolled along the system. We recommend
to carry out the analysis for the hydraulic removal of air pockets throughout the entire profile.

AV AV

D D D

Air removal
Air entrained by different causes is conveyed through the pipeline and accumulates at the high points, forming
air pockets that become larger and larger as more bubbles join in. The dimension and shape of the air pockets
is related to the fluid parameters along with pipe DN and slope. On air pockets three forces are acting such
as the buoyancy force, the hydrodynamic force and the friction force against the pipe’s wall. Once air pockets,
are large enough they split and part of the air goes downstream producing unexpected and dangerous variation
in pressure. On descending slopes the resultant force can be directed upwards, and strong enough to move
the pockets upstream or even preventing the air pockets from moving and creating even more headlosses.
This is common in case of low velocities or during the night.
During the design of pipeline profiles we must therefore also check and understand the movement of air bubbles
and air pockets, which is still matter of investigation even by CSA srl. Almost every reader on the subject agrees
on the fact that the minimum velocity, needed to flush air pockets downstream in downward sloping pipe,
depends on the pipe DN and pipe gradient, in addition to experimental coefficients as a results of specific tests.
Purely as an indication below one of the formula, that is valid only for a certain range of diameters and
descending segments, needed to calculate the critical velocity. It is good practice and common understanding
that the minimum design flow to ensure air movement in downward sloping pipes should be in the range
between 0,8 and 2 mt/sec depending on the installations, pipe DN and layout (please consult CSA for further
information).

Fundamentals of air valves
Before talking about air valves sizing, and to CSA methodology for calculation, it is important to know the
fundamentals of air valves and their definitions.

Air release valves


Air release valves, also called single function air valves, are
designed only to release air pockets accumulated during working
conditions. Something important we must take into account about
this model is that they don’t have any capacity of air inflow during
pipe draining, and outflow during filling, due to the limited passage
through the nozzle, therefore they won’t provide any protection for
the pipeline against negative pressure conditions.

Example of CSA air release valve Mod. Ventolo.

Air/Vacuum valves
Vacuum air valves, also called double function air valves, are designed to protect the pipeline during pipe
draining and filling operations.

In case of pipe draining we must In case of pipe filling we must


allow the entrance of large volumes discharge large volumes of air to
of air, when the pressure drops avoid the creation of air trapped in
below atmospheric values, to avoid dead ends, with possible upsurges,
negative pressure conditions and and to speed up the filling process
damages to the system. saving time and money.

Example of CSA air/vacuum air valve Mod. FOX 2F.

8
Combination air valves
Combination air valves, also called three functions air valves, are designed to protect the pipeline during pipe
draining and pipe filling and to discharge air pockets during working conditions.

In case of pipe draining we must In case of pipe filling we must During working conditions the

conditions and damages to the up the filling process saving time
system. and money.

Example of CSA combination air valve Mod. FOX 3F.

CSA technical advantages


CSA is leading the way with innovative and reliable air valves.
Entirely manufactured in ductile cast iron and stainless steel, some
of the most significant technical benefits compared to the existing
alternatives on the market are:
- unless otherwise specified full bore capacity, that is to say that
the outlet passage is equal to the inlet passage through the flange;
- CSA has been one of the few companies in the world to develop
a single chamber full bore combination air valve, to avoid the
problems typical of the double float design allowing at the same
time for reduced space and weight with a PN 40 bar product;
- high flow capacity thanks to shapes and passages into the body
studied with advanced computational fluid dynamics calculations;
- cylindrical floats and obturator in solid polypropylene to avoid
deformation, calcium deposits and jamming, typical problems of
spherical floats;
- air release subset in stainless steel AISI 316 with gasket
compression control to minimize the risk of leakage;
- diffuser to avoid premature closure in stainless steel;
- seat completely made in stainless steel;
- nuts and bolts in stainless steel;
- body designed to be interchangeable between the 2F and 3F
versions (and other models on request);
- supplied with cover in ductile cast iron or cap e filter in stainless
steel. Outlet for submerged installation and conveyed exhaust
available on request.

Air valve locations without considering water hammer and transient analysis.
The following picture has to be considered as a pure indication for air valves location along the profile and
without considering any transients or water hammer effects, for that reason a gravity conveyance system has
been chosen.

Air valves sizing.
In terms of air valves sizing we must basically calculate the air valve DN, whose air flow capacity which will
be able to protect the pipe against negative pressure conditions.

To do that we must allow the entrance of air whose volume will be equal to the amount of water discharged
in two situations:

Pipe burst analysis


Assuming a pipe burst on the most critical locations of our pipelines
Where:
1.852
SD 4.87C 1.852 C is the friction coefficient
Q burst = S is the slope
10.69 D is the pipe DN

Pipe draining analysis


Simulating the pipeline drainage operation through the drains located on the pipeline
Where:
Q = Cv A 0 2 gDH Ao is the drain section
Cv is the discharge coefficient
DH is the available pressure head

Pipe collapse pressure


The following formula has to be used purely as an indication to assess the pipe resistance to possible collapse.
Please contact CSA for a detailed buckling analysis.
Where:
2E S 3 E is the Elasticity modulus
Pcr = ( ) s is the pipe thickness
(1 - M 2 ) D
D is the pipe DN
M is the Poisson ratio

11
For the proper air valves sizing, once obtained the air flow rate through burst or drainage analysis, it is important
to evaluate the difference in pressure created across the air valve during intake.
That is shown on the air flow capacity curves of air valves manufacturer. Purely as an indication, for easier
consultation resulting flow rates have been traced for each DN from free discharge on given slopes (in case
of new steel pipes). As an example if we had to calculate the flow discharged by a pipe with an internal diameter
of 500 mm, and a slope of 2,5%, the value would be 2500 m3/h.

PIPE DN
PIPELINE SLOPE (mm/m)

Just as an example below the air flow capacity of one of CSA model, namely the combination air valve FOX
3F-M. The chart is referring in particular to the inflow capacity during pipe draining, expressed in m3/h, depicted
on the horizontal axis versus the correspondent negative pressure on the vertical axis where, as an example,
0,9 means a negative of -0,1 bar.
Let’s assume that the burst analysis conducted on a critical section of our pipeline produced a value of 2500
m3/h of water discharged.
Entering the line corresponding to 2500 m3/h on the plot we have to choose the right Dn of air valve depending
on the allowable negative pressure the system can tolerate. For easier consultation we have divided the chart
into three zones, the red with the negative pressure which we consider to be dangerous for the pipe , the yellow
where the inflow may create problems to some situations, sometimes used for ductile cast iron pipes only, and
the green that CSA consider to be suitable for the proper air valves sizing and designers should work with.
The allowable differential pressure on the pipe depends on the material, thickness and other parameters. Please
contact CSA for further information.
Going back to our example, where 2500 m 3/h is the calculated amount of water discharged, it goes without
saying that using a CSA FOX 3F DN 100 air valve we would produce a negative of almost 1,9 meters becoming
0,75 meters with the DN 125 mm. A DN 80 air valve in this condition would create full vacuum since the
maximum capacity, going to sonic at certain value, is way below the requested 2500 m3/h. The procedure
explained above has to be carried out throughout the entire pipeline.

Air valves sizing
CSA has developed a sizing software fully interfaced with windows able to:
- perform steady state analysis of the profile;
- calculate HGL;
- model up to 9 different boundary conditions;
-verify the pressure along the line.
In addition to that the software will carry out air valves sizing and location. The software takes also into account
the movement of air pockets and the locations where there are likely to accumulate, that is to provide warning
messages in case of velocities lower that the required value to flush air pockets downstream of downward
sloping pipes.
Water hammer
Water hammer is by definition a pressure wave, created by the sudden change in the liquid velocity, travelling
across the systems with a speed obtained by using the following formula and called wavespeed.

K
w
a= D
1+ c1 K
Ee

Where:
K is the bulk modulus of water
w is the density of water
D is the pipe DN
E is the elastic modulus of the pipe
e is the pipe thickness
c1 is a factor taking into account pipe restraints and anchorage

The pressure wave can be either positive or negative and changes direction and magnitude overtime depending
on the pipe profile, boundary conditions, derivations and more.
In case of pump failure the effect will be a negative pressure wave propagating downstream, due to that other
than segments of the pipe subject to negative pressure conditions, particular attentions has to be to paid to
those locations where the HGL drops below the pipe profile to a minimum equal to the vapor pressure. Should
that last long enough vapor pockets will be generated with a separation of the two water columns that, once
the rejoin each other closing the void, will produce pressure surges sometimes devastating for the entire system.
This is called column separation. In the picture below a typical example of a pumping systems with knee where
that event is likely to occur.
A detailed surge analysis of pressurized systems must always be carried out, as water hammer depends on
many factors. Also in gravity systems designers must consider the worst scenario that could engender and
trigger critical events, as an example rapid and uncontrolled closures of sectioning devices and rapid filling of
pipelines.

14
The importance of anti water hammer air valves
Air vacuum air valves or combination air valves are likely to generate problems in case of transients (either
caused by pump failure for example or rapid filling of the pipeline) because they will create upsurges during
the closing phase. That is mainly related to their high air inflow and outflow capacity. Should the pressure drop
below atmospheric where the air valve is located, the latter will allow the entrance of large volumes of air thus
avoiding negative pressure. When the water column comes back, during the second phase of water hammer,
the air valve will discharge air at a very high speed followed by the incoming water column. Due to the difference
in density between water and air, once water reaches the air valve, the float will be pushed up against the seat
abruptly producing the same effect of an instantaneous valve closure with a free discharge outlet, having a
very high velocity running through.
The magnitude of the water hammer can be so high to produce pipe bursts, damages to air valves and other
components.
In the following graph is depicted the overpressure generated by a combination air valve in a pipeline during
a transient event as a consequence of pump failure, where the spikes indicate the closure phases of the air
valve. The same effects and problem occur in case of rapid pipe filling, according to a survey 40% of pipe
bursts are generated by uncontrolled rapid filling.

For water conveyance systems protections, either pumping or gravity systems, it is therefore important to run
water hammer analysis to asses and understand the wave propagation and determine what kind of equipments
the pipeline may be in need of. With regards to air valves we shouldn’t be using combination or vacuum air
valves but special solutions, which CSA has been studying and designing through an ongoing research.

15
CSA Anti-slam technology (AS)
The automatism is composed of a metallic disk (with 2 or more
adjustable nozzles) calculated using advanced simulation
tools for water hammer analysis, a guide bar and a stainless
steel counteracting spring that lays directly on the sealing
seat. Such simple construction guarantees high reliability and
it may fit both the 2 and the 3 functions CSA air release valves.

entrance of a large volume of air through the small disk orifices
through the main orifice, to creating a back-pressure inside
compensate for the vacuum effect. the conduct that will slow down
the incoming water column
avoiding upsurges.

16
Applications
The AS technology of CSA air valves, used in two functions and three functions, make them suitable for any
location and applications and proved to be the right and safer choice under many circumstances. CSA AS air
valves should be used anytime and everywhere, in particular in those locations exposed to severe transient
conditions as follows:

Changes in slopes with the risk of column


separation
Thanks to the CSA AS technology the pipe
will be protected against negative pressure
conditions slowing down the approaching
water columns, thus cushioning the upsurge
created by the rejoining of the two pressure
fronts.

With vertical/submersible pumps


In such situation we need an air valve to
discharge the air coming from the suction
side during pump start up. Using a traditional
air vacuum or a combination air valve, sited
in the horizontal section downstream of the
90° bend, we will generate a dangerous
upsurges due to the uncontrolled water
column approach. The AS technology will
slow down the incoming water column, due
to the air outflow through the adjustable
nozzles, providing at the same time enough
air inflow capacity to avoid negative pressure
conditions in case of pump shut down.

Downstream of pumps
With pumping stations, where in case of
power failure the pressure is likely to drop
below atmospheric, CSA AS air valve will
be the right solution in terms of protection
thanks to the large air inflow capacity, to
avoid the risk of negative pressure conditions,
slowing down the returning water front to
prevent further increase in pressure.

17
CSA RFP technology (rapid filling prevention)
The automatism is composed of three components, namely the
float and the upper flat, joined together by means of the air release
system, in addition to the dynamic flat. The latter has been designed
and tested to sense the increase in velocity and in differential
pressure and come up, reducing the outflow and creating a
cushioning effect for the incoming water column, should the air
speed become greater than a safety threshold.

During pipe filling the air valve will discharge


air through the main orifice generating a Dp
which is proportional to the air flow.

Should the air velocity become In working conditions the air valve During vacuum conditions the
greater that 40 mt/sec the dynamic will discharge air pockets, automatism is laid on top of the

to avoid negative perssure conditions.

18
The following pictures has to be considered as a pure indication for air valves location along the profile,
also considering transients effects, providing protection against water hammer.
The proper choice of air valves depends on many factors such as profile, pipe materials, and other devices
installed. More important it is related to the results of the water hammer analysis. This is the reason why
both for waterworks and sewage systems it is important to run transient analysis to assess and understand
the wave propagation and determine what kind of protection the pipeline may be in need of, and to assess
the effect of the air valves previously sized with the standard procedure.

In the graph above, purely as an indication, we mark in red the segments involved on the transient followed
by a sudden pump failure. It will be necessary to install antihammer air valves, CSA AS technology, at those
locations while for the rest of the line the RFP models will provide the protection without reducing too much
the air discharge during filling operations.

Types of air valve recommended


Three functions anti hammer air valves will avoid negative pressure conditions, allowing large
entrance of air volumes in case of pump failure/ pipe draining, providing at the same time water
hammer protection thanks to the AS technology and the controlled air outflow. They will also
ensure the proper air release of air pockets accumulated in working conditions.

Three functions RFP air valves will avoid negative pressure conditions, allowing large entrance
of air volumes in case of pump failure/ pipe draining, providing at the same time water hammer
protection thanks to the RFP technology controlling the outflow in case of excessive air velocity.
They will also ensure the proper air release of air pockets accumulated in working conditions.

Two functions anti hammer air valves will avoid negative pressure conditions, allowing large
entrance of air volumes in case of pump failure/ pipe draining, providing at the same time water
hammer protection thanks to the AS technology and the controlled air outflow.

Standard single function air release valve, if the segment is more than 2 KM long three functions
RFP air valves are recommended.

19
Installation and further details
On those locations where air pockets
are likely to gather it is very important
to create some sort of accumulation
chamber, between the pipeline and
the air valve, as shown on the picture.
The dimension of the chamber DN
indicated depends on the pipe DN
and profile, and is recommended in
general up to a max of 800 mm above
which vortex may occur.
Please contact CSA for further
information.

Air valves location


An example of how to deal with high
points. A three function air valve has
to be placed on top of an accumulation
chamber, it is important to install the
air valve on the downstream side of
the high point due to the position of
the air pocket which, pushed by the
hydrodynamic force of water from one
side and the buoyancy and friction
force from the other, will be likely to
remain near the change in slope.
These locations are often exposed to
water hammer effects therefore anti-
slam air valves are recommended.

On descending changes in slope we


always design on conservative
assumptions, therefore air pockets
are expected to accumulate on the
change in slope due to low velocity
conditions.
Three functions air valves will be
necessary.

On ascending changes in slope air


vacuum air valves will be needed
since the air pockets will be always
flushed upstream, these points are
often exposed to water hammer
conditions therefore air valves with
anti-slam technology are highly
recommended.

20
Horizontal or sub horizontal
segments, either ascending or
descending, have to be avoided
when possible. If present in our
systems air valves spaced with
800-1000 mt max have to be 800 - 1000 m
placed for protection against
negative conditions, for the
proper air release (if horizontal
and descending) and especially
if exposed to transient conditions.

During regulation hydraulic control valves, direct acting PRV or PSV modulating devices are needed. Whenever
we produce a pressure drop air is released out of water.

An automatic three function anti water hammer air valve is located downstream of the prv while upstream we
do have a single air release, to prevent air from reaching the control chamber of the valve. Again a small
accumulation below the two air valves and the pipeline is recommended.

In the following installation we do have two triple function air valve, located upstream and downstream of the
control valve next to the changes in slope.
Also in this case accumulation chambers on both sides are recommended.

21
Installation
Before installation make sure to accurately clean
the pipeline to avoid that any foreign bodies like Venting pipe with DN MANHOLE Venting pipe with DN
stones or building material may damage the air equal to the air valve equal to the air valve
release valves.
Air release valves must be positioned in locations
wide enough and easily accessible to allow
maintenance, operations and inspection. They
must be placed in a perfectly vertical position,
and on a “T” piece to allow for air accumulation Air valve
in order to improve the air valves performances.
The pit must be equipped with a drainage system
for cleaning operations, and ventilation pipes
to allow air intake and outflow for the proper air Gate valve
recirculation.
A sectioning device, being either a gate valve
or a butterfly valve, must be provided. Spacer

Maintenance
CSA air valves are simple and sturdy and for that they don’t require any particular maintenance, their performances
and life spam depends on working conditions.
For combination models we recommend to check the air release system at least twice per year, as well as the
gaskets.
Every component can be easily replaced from the top without having to remove the valve from the pipeline.

STORAGE AND
HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR STORAGE AND HANDLING

1. VALVE INSTRUCTIONS PURPOSE: To provide proper storage, transportation and handling


procedure prior to installing the product. This procedure allows the client handling with the
final product at the recommended way to secure and maintain product quality in order to
avoid loss of manufacturer’s guarantee/warranty of product.

2. STORAGE PROCESS: Products are protected for transport from external influences with
nylon foil (black, gray or transparent), stretch foil and/or special foil that contain corrosion
inhibitors. We strongly recommended not removing protective foil from product before
installation. If packing is removed for inspection of valves, the valve shall be repacked
immediately after inspection as per manufacturer’s recommendation and under the
supervision of the supplier until installation of valve. In case of non-compliance, damage
caused by improper storage without protective foil won’t be covered with manufacturer
guarantee/warranty. Products are packed in wooden crates and placed on wooden pallets.
Wood material used in this process is heat treated, suitable for international transport. Each
pallet or crate is marked with manufacturers name, project name and content.

Recommended storage: In dry closed, roof protected areas or areas secured from direct
sunlight or rain. If the products are unprotected, the risk of damaging the rubber and
electrical parts greatly increases. Direct sun and extremely high temperature will causes
damage to the protective nylon sheet and causing damage to the rubber or electrical parts
of the valves. In case of any damage caused by improper storage the products will not enter
the guarantee/warranty policy.

3. PROCESS OF TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING: Goods transported from the manufacturer;


-by roads (standard containers and truck transportation)
-by air freight (special packing in boxes)
-by sea freight (special packing on pallets or boxes in containers)
If the goods are storage for longer period of time (>40 days) in closed container in the
harbour after arrival in Doha port, the risk of damaging of electrical parts (caused by
consideration) will increase due to higher relative humidity.
All products are packed in suitable way for manipulation with forklift or crane. The products
are equipped with lifting lugs and place on special tailored or in boxes.

4. HANDLING PROCESS (MANIPULATION): By the manipulation we consider manipulation of


the crane, forklift or manually by an authorized person.
All products above DN 500 are equipped with lifting lugs which enable easy and safe
manipulation on site. Special care is needed due to chain, steel ropes or hooks which can
damage surface protection of valves. Manipulation is permitted only by lifting with lifting
lugs or lifting the entire pallets (box).

Page 1 of 2
Warranty policy will not apply:

* To damage caused by failure to comply with manufacturer’s instructions, improper


manipulation in storage and during installation, manipulation by unauthorized personnel or
any other operation not in accordance to manufacturer’s operating instructions or user’s
guide.
* If the products are not stored in accordance to MIV instruction for storage and handling,
or are stored in direct sunlight, rain, etc.
* If the products will be exposed to damages or functional breakdown due to impurity and
sediments on sealing surfaces of valves, i.e. due to quality of media or use of product in
media they were not designed for.
* To the parts and sealing materials subject to wear ability that should be controlled or
replaced after a certain period of time.
* To defect caused by unauthorized changes of a.m. parts using irregular materials (rubber
O-ring, profile rings, stuffing box, gland packing, seat rings, etc.),irregular and excessive
wear.
* If the actuating parts (electrical actuator, gearbox) are dismantled without Supplier’s
written approval.
* If the goods are damaged by higher force (earthquake, lighting, flood war).

5. More information and recommendation can be found in the manufacturer catalogue or


could be sourced from the supplier.
Instructions for installation, use and maintenance are provided along with the test
certificates and also can be obtained upon request.

6. Seal and sealing fits, wedge, seat, disc, and seat rings must be cleaned before installation
and before putting the valve into operation.

7. Supplier shall have access any time to the storage facility of the valves delivered, to

AIR RELEASE
VALVES

MODEL: SCF-RFP D
Wastewater combination air valve
with anti-surge mechanism - Mod. SCF - RFP - D
The SCF RFP D guarantees the proper operation and safety of pressurized sewage systems allowing the
release of air pockets in working conditions and the entrance of large quantities of air, in case of pipe
bursting or draining phases. The air discharge velocity is maintained within a safety level by means of a
anti-surge mechanism to prevent water hammer.

Technical features and benefits


■ Large lower body designed with strongly sloped funnel shaped walls to avoid deposit of grease or other
material, and containing four ribs obtained by casting to guide the stainless steel float.
■ Mobile block including a large AISI 316 stainless steel float, placed on the lower body and connected
through a stainless steel rod to the air release system.
■ Drainage valve for chamber control and draining.
■ RFP anti-surge automatism composed of two floats in solid polypropylene, where the upper one will be
automatically lifted in case of excessive air outflow, reducing the water approach velocity and avoiding
potential water hammer events.
■ Nozzle and gasket holder (patent pending) wear resistant thanks to gasket compression control.
■ Maintenance can be easily performed from the top without removing the air valve from the pipe.
■ Upper body in stainless steel AISI 316.

Applications
■ Sewage main transmission lines.
■ Treatment plants.
■ Irrigation systems in presence of solids/debris in suspension.
■ Whenever the technology of air valves for treated water can’t be used, for the risk of clogging and
damages to the internal components, and the proper protection of the system has to be provided.
Operating principle

1. Discharge of large
volumes of air
During the pipe filling it is necessary to
discharge air as liquid flows in. The SCF
RFP D, thanks to a large upper body and
an aerodynamic deflector, will make sure to
avoid premature closures of the mobile
block during this phase.

2. Controlled outflow
If the differential pressure of air across the
valve during pipe filling, and the conse-
quent air outflow, rises above a certain val-
ue without control, there is the risk of po-
tential water hammer and damages to the
system caused by rapid closures of the
mobile block. Should that happen the RFP
1 anti-surge flat will rise automatically reduc- 2
ing air outflow and slowing down the veloc-
ity of the approaching water column.

3. Air release during


working conditions
During operation the air produced by the
pipeline is accumulated in the upper part.
Little by little it is compressed and its
volume increases, pushing the liquid level
downwards and allowing the air release
through the nozzle.

4. Entrance of large
volumes of air
During pipeline draining, or pipe bursts, it is
necessary to bring in as much air as the
quantity of outflowing liquid to avoid nega-
tive pressure and serious damages to the
3 pipeline, and the entire system. 4

Optional

■ Vacuum breaker version Mod. SCF 2F RFP D, to allow the entrance of large volumes of air
only with the controlled air outflow thanks to the RFP technology. This model is normally recom-
mended in changes on slope ascending, long ascending segments, and wherever the air
release won’t be required.

■ Version for submerged applications SUB series, standard for DN 50/65, available both for
SCF RFP D and SCF 2F RFP D Models, with elbow for air conveyance. The design sprang from
the necessity of having an air valve performing also in case of flood, without the risk of contami-
nated water entering the pipeline. Another benefit of SUB is to avoid the spray effect, conveying
spurts coming from the rapid closure of the air valve.

CSA air valve Mod. SCF-RFP-D

Description
The CSA SCF-RFP-D anti-water hammer combination wastewater air valve is designed to allow the
entrance of large volumes of air in case of negative pressure conditions, caused for example by
pump failure, burst, draining, and the controlled two stages outflow to create some sort of air bag
should the air velocity become excessive (likely to produce water hammer during the closure) During
working conditions the air release system will purge our air pockets accumulating inside the valve.
This type of air valve should not be considered as a pressure relief for shock conditions and water
hammer events produced by increase in pressure, which may develop elsewhere in the system, for
which other and different CSA models and solutions are available. The maximum and minimum
working pressure are stated in the order and according to technical literature. In general, we
recommend to ensure at least 0,3 bar acting on the air valve drain port to guarantee for the perfect
sealing during working conditions, lower values available on request.

Handling and Storage

Personnel involved in the installation or maintenance of valves should be constantly alert to


possible damages caused by an improper handling of the valve.

Lifting the valve improperly may damage it. Lift the valve with slings, chains or cables fastened
around the valve body, or fastened to eyebolts if present or bolts or rods through bolt holes in the
flanges. If installation will be delayed, place valve indoors in secure, weather tight storage. If
temporary outside storage is unavoidable, make sure a vermin proof rain cover is secured
around/over the valve to keep off rain and mud. Skid and set the assembly on a flat, solid, and well
drained surface for protection from ground moisture, runoff and pooled rain water. Do not leave the
valve exposed to high humidity and excessive temperature conditions.

Fusion/Powder Coated Valves

Valves with fusion/powder coated exterior paint require flat washers to be installed under the
flange nuts when installing the valve to the pipeline flange to prevent the paint from cracking or
chipping.

4
CSA air valve Mod. SCF-RFP-D

Installation
The water combination air valve should always be installed in a vertical position, a maximum of 3°
tilt is allowed. An isolation valve between this unit and the transmission (pipeline) system is
necessary to allow maintenance and valve’s inspection. Where to use:
 High points in pipelines where the hydraulic gradient and flow conditions are such that a
negative pressure can possibly occur.
 Change in slope descending and ascending
 At the dead end of pipelines
 Do not use this valve downstream of pumps, check valve and sectioning devices likely to
produce sudden variation in the fluid velocity, thus transients, for which where other CSA
models are available like SCF-AS
Note to Engineer: If installed inside a pump house, in presence of wires, control panels,
switches, use the threaded connection and pipe back into the well or to
outside (available as a standard feature on the DN 50). This will greatly
muffle the high noise level caused by the air being discharged and provide
for drainage of any small amount of water or water vapour that may
accumulate during working conditions and opening/closing cycles. Same
thing applies in case of possible flood events to the installation chamber
to avoid the entrance of liquid back into the main line.
 Before installation, remove foreign material such as weld spatter, oil, grease, and dirt from
the pipeline.
 Prepare pipe ends and install valves in accordance with the pipe manufacturer’s instructions
for the joint used, unless otherwise specified the threaded connection is according to GAS,
different available on request.

The outlet threaded connection (present in DN 50/65 and in special SUB version) is supplied
according to GAS standard unless otherwise specified If connected to piping to convey gas and
exhaust away from the valve do not exert excessive momentum and torque as doing so would be
likely to pluck it out and produce damages. Consult CSA for further assistance

CSA air valve Mod. SCF-RFP-D

Maintenance
The anti-hammer combination wastewater air valve SCF-RFP-D is automatic in operation and
requires very little maintenance. It should always be installed in a vertical position with a maximum
tilt within 3°.
A semi-annual visual inspection for leakage and the proper function is recommended. A malfunction
of the air valve can be identified by the seepage of water through the main seat and through the
nozzle. Should a malfunction occur, the following steps should be taken to repair the valve;

During servicing the wastewater in closed environment and chambers be aware of the
accumulation of gas with the risk of poisoning and loss of conscience. Always wear face mask and
respirator, do not proceed with back up

Disassembly Procedure

Disassembly Procedure

Servicing the Air/Vacuum Valve while the pipeline is under pressure can cause
personal injury or equipment damage. Relieve pipeline pressure or shut off isolation
valve before servicing the Air/Vacuum Valve.

Do not completely remove pipe plug or cover screws while the valve is under
pressure.

See Figures 1 on page 6 for part identification.


1. Relieve pipeline pressure or shut off isolation valve before servicing the Air Valve.
2. Slowly remove the drain port (18) to relieve internal pressure
3. Remove nuts (16), cap ( 3), nuts and washers (19 and 17) and extract the seat (14)
4. Inspect the sealing surface of the seat and check whether gaskets (12) and (13) are torn or
damaged
5. Remove nuts and washers (21 and 22) and pull up the upper part (2)
6. Pushing from beneath the float (4) rise it and inspect the obturator flat (11) for possible dirt
and torn out surfaces

Downstream pressure
reducing stabilizing
automatic control valve
Mod. XLC 310/410

The CSA model XLC 310/410 is a globe pattern


hydraulically operated automatic control valve that
reduces and stabilizes the downstream pressure to
a constant value, regardless of variation in
demands and upstream pressure conditions.
Normally equipped with visual position indicator
and entirely made in ductile cast iron with FBT
epoxy coating and stainless steel, the valve is
designed to reduce head loss, throttling noise and
cavitation damage. The CSA pressure reducing
stabilizing valve XLC 310/410 is extremely versatile
and can be used for a wide range of applications.

Operating principle
The CSA model XLC 310/410 is an automatic control
valve operated by a 2 ways pilot (5) with pre-set set
and adjustable value. Should the downstream
4 5 pressure rise above the pilot set point the latter will
throttle and limit the flow to direct inlet pressure to the
main chamber (10), thus pushing down the obturator
8 (11) to generate the head loss required for the valve
(9) to reduce and stabilize the downstream pressure
6 10 7
to a constant value. Should the downstream pressure
3a 3 fall below the pilot set point the obturator (11) will
11
raise increasing the passage through the seat (12),
12 thus reducing the head loss followed by the rise in
1 2 pressure. The flow in and out of the main chamber
(10) is controlled by the CSA unit regulation device
with filter GR.I.F.O. (4) provided with three needle
valves and flow stabilizers, needed for the valve’s
response time and accuracy also in case of rapid
variation in demand. Thanks to the isolation ball
valves (1-2-3) the control circuit and its components
can be maintained without interrupting the flow
9 through the main line.

Installation layout
The XLC 310/410 installation lay-out includes sectioning devices (1, 2) and by-pass for maintenance
operations, and a filter (3) to prevent dirt from reaching the control valve. The direct acting pressure
reducer VRCD (4) is the best choice on the by-pass thanks to its reliability also after long periods of
inactivity. Anti-surge combination air valves FOX 3F AS (6, 7) are recommended upstream and
downstream as well as a pressure relief valve VSM (5) to prevent rise in pressure on the main line.

Handling and storage


Lifting the valve improperly may damage it and the equipments around. It is mandatory not to
fasten the valve around the circuit, fittings, pipes, solenoids or position indicators. Valves must be
lifted only by cables, chains, located around the body, through the flanges holes or eyebolts.
During hoisting always consider that the center of mass depends on the circuitry and pilots
installed.
If installation will be delayed place the valve indoors in a secure watertight storage. Should that be
unavailable use a vermin proof rain cover around the valve to keep off rain, mud, humidity. Place
the valve on a solid and well drained surface base to prevent moisture, flood from reaching the
body.

Lifting the valve in the wrong way may cause malfunctioning, emission of water
spurts, injuries to the personnel and permanent damages of the valve.

XLC 310/410

Installation
The automatic control valve XLC must be always installed in a horizontal position with the bonnet
upwards. Smaller valves, (150 mm and smaller) can be installed in a vertical pipe shouldn’t be
unavoidable. Prior to that consult CSA and specify the orientation in the order. A stable and non-
pulsating source of pressure is necessary for the proper performance of CSA control valves,
whose minimum pressure is displayed on the technical brochure and always 0,5 bar on the pilot in
addition to the head-loss produced during working conditions.

• Gate valves or other sectioning devices must be installed upstream and downstream of
CSA control valves to allow for maintenance.
• The operating fluid must be free of air, air valves (CSA Mod. FOX 3F AS combination anti-
slam) should be installed downstream and upstream. This to avoid the accumulation of air
pockets during working conditions, allow air discharge during pipe filling and entrance in
case of pipe burst and draining.
• A suitable by-pass should be provided for servicing of the valve without interrupting the
flow. For the by-pass sectioning do not use standard gate valve, likely to get damaged
during modulation, but rely on globe pattern gate valves and/or CSA direct acting pressure
reducing valves.
• If not included in the order install pressure gauges upstream and downstream, a flow
measurement device is always recommended to make sure hydraulic conditions remain
within the values used for sizing.
• A strainer with suitable basket and mesh should be installed ahead of the valve to protect
internal components from debris, particles and foreign material.
• Sufficient space should be provided around the valve for disassembly.
• Check direction of flow and make sure it is according to the marking on the valve’s casting.
• Make sure the flanges and pipes connection are according to the valve’s standard. The
nuts and bolts setting has to be conducted in the proper way, gradual and symmetrical, in
order not to produced additional stress and deformation.
• During handling be sure not to damage the glass of the position indicator, if present.

XLC 310/410

Set up
For the proper set up of XLC Mod. 310 and 410 reader is advised to use the following points (rif.
picture on page 4).

The set up and valve regulation has to be carried out by qualified personnel only, or
directly from CSA service. Improper actions can lead to permanent damages to the
valve, its internal components and system equipments along with possible injuries of
the people involved.

• Make sure the isolation ball valves of the circuitry (2-3-4) are fully open
• The valve is at first isolated from the main line as both sectioning devices, upstream and
downstream, are closed.

The difference in pressure generated by the valve during the pressure


sustaining/relief function will produce a thrust proportional to the pressure itself.
Anchorage blocks and way of preventing valve’s movement or shifting need to be
taken into account.

• Unless a specific setting has been required in the order remove the hood from the pilot (6)
and turn anti-clock wise the screw to decrease the spring force in the cover almost
completely. The downstream set pressure depends on the pilot setting and it is proportional
to the charge of the spring. Regulation chart are available on request.
• Slowly operate on the upstream gate valve to open it by 30 %, leaving the downstream
sectioning device completely closed.
• Pressure will enter the valve’s body, circuitry and bonnet pushing down the diaphragm and
mobile block against the obturator and inducing the valve’s closure
• Remove the air entrapped in the bonnet, during the operation, by means of the air release
device located on top of the position indicator (7) leaving it flowing for at least 20 seconds.
• Open completely the upstream gate valve
• Slowly open the downstream gate valve, to a maximum of 40% of the stroke, to generate
some flow through the valve and give the valve enough time to react, this depends on how
big is the system downstream and on the variations in demands.
• Having decompressed, the spring as per indications mentioned above unless a specific
setting was required in the order, the XLC control valve will tend to reduced pressure
limiting the flow.

7
XLC 310/410

• Slowly act on the regulation screw on the pilot (6) turning it clockwise, the variation in
pressure depends on the spring range used, and can vary from 0,47 bar to 0,95 bar per
revolution with the most common springs used. Please consult CSA for more details.

Regulations of pilots has to be carried out slowly to avoid unwanted pulsations and
pressure surges. Always leave enough time for the system to balance, in case of
doubts and problems allow for some flow through the by-pass to stabilize the line and
call CSA technical support.

• Once the valve has reached the desired value set the locking nut and place the hood on top
of the pilot. Open the downstream gate valve completely then and check once again the
pressure gauge and the flow meters.
• The unit flow control device GR.I.F.O. is exclusive from CSA and contains needle valves,
filter and check valves used for the proper valve’s stability and regulation. If present do
never change the settings before consulting with CSA technical support.

Valves epoxy painted FBT

Valves epoxy painted using FBT requires washers flat washers to be installed on the
flanges connections to prevent the paint from cracking or chipping.

Maintenance
CSA automatic control valves XLC series have been designed with a sturdy and reliable
construction to minimize servicing and possible malfunctioning. However we recommend to inspect
them at least twice per year releasing the air accumulated inside the bonnet and checking the
strainer inside the GR.I.F.O, if present, or placed as a separate entity in the circuitry. We
recommend a thorough inspection and maintenance with complete disassembly every 4 years,
according to the following instructions.

force exerted by the spring over the
03
diaphragm, that is opposed to the
01 downstream pressure applied directly below
13
it. When the downstream pressure exceeds
14 the force of the spring the obturator is
15
pushed up closing the passage through the
16 17
pilot, therefore leading the pressure towards
the main chamber and allowing the valve
18
to throttle which will result in a pressure
reduction, because of the head loss created
between the obturator and the main valve
seat. We obtain the regulation by acting on
the screw (05), i.e. clockwise to increase the
pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease
it.

Disassembly
It is not necessary to remove the pilot from
the circuit for the disassembly. Instead use
the enclosed picture which indicates the
numbers specified here below to perform the
operations.
1- Remove the hood of the pilot (4) loosen
the tightening nut (6) and turn the lead screw
(5) anticlockwise, until the spring is
completely unloaded.
2- Remove the screws (19) holding the cover
(2).
3- Separate the cover, the spring (8) and the
spring guide (7).

XLC 310/410

4- With a monkey wrench 24 remove the lower tap (16) and the spring (18).
5- With a monkey wrench 13 unscrew the tightening nut (12) to remove the upper flat (10) and the
diaphragm (11).
6- Again with key 13 unscrew the gasket holder (14) and pull out the staple shaped obturator guide
(3).
7- Check the sealing seat (13) and if necessary remove it using a 13 tube key.

Inspection and repair


During these operations carefully check every detail to find damage, in particular the diaphragm
and the sealing seat gasket. The pilot is very sturdy and the materials are designed to guarantee
many years of working conditions for which, generally, it is sufficient to remove the deposits
and make sure to keep the metallic internal components properly lubricated. If that is not enough
we strongly recommend you to contact CSA technical support or order the maintenance kit.

Reassembly
To reassembly the pilot you have to repeat, obviously in reverse sequence, the same steps
specified in the dismantling phase, while paying attention to:
- Place the diaphragm on the staple shaped obturator guide, then the upper flat and the self-
locking dice which must not be excessively tight so as not to wear the internal components, please
contact CSA for any doubt related to the torque required to perform the operation.
- Now insert this component in the body with a light pressure in such a way as to make its holes
match the ones of the diaphragm.
- During this operation pay particular attention to the correct alignment of the staple shaped
obturator guide with the protuberance of the body, in order to avoid contact and friction
that could affect the proper operation of the pilot.
- At this point screw the obturator on the staple shaped obturator guide and proceed with the tap
(16), provided with O-ring (17) so that the gasket holder (14) can slide inside of it.
- Place the spring, the sealing seat, the cover, set the screws and put the cap back.

The “GR.I.F.O.” (Integrated Group Filter Orifices) is a CSA unit flow control device that includes
all the necessary functions, needed for the proper regulation and stability of the main valve. Its
compact design makes the entire circuitry easy to be maintained, simple and intuitive yet allowing
a tremendous range of regulations compared to other solutions on the market.
It is completely manufactured in stainless steel AISI 303 and contains:
- a fine mesh filter in AISI 304 (8) to protect the pilot circuit from possible dirt, maintained simply by
unscrewing the tap (9).
- the intervention also called reaction speed regulator* (4) of the main valve, and the opening (3)
and closing (2) speed regulators* of the valve’s main chamber, independent one from the other,
obtained by CSA fine adjustment needle valves.

11
XLC 310/410

- replaceable check valves placed upstream of every regulator to limit the flow and control
the acceleration during the valve opening and closing.
- an upstream outlet not filtered protected by a cap 1/8 G
- an upstream pressure outlet filtered, 1/8 G, protected by an air valve.
- The adjustment is normally done in the factory although it is possible to modify it on the spot, in
order to find the optimal regulation according to the function required.

Herewith enclosed are the optimal values for the most common XLC applications expressed in
terms of revolutions, starting from the fully closed position and turning anticlockwise.

The regulators are needle valves designed by and exclusive property of CSA Srl and the
rotation permits to obtain a specific passage. For example the regulation 3 means that, starting
from the complete closed needle (turned clockwise), unscrewing 3 turns in opening you will get
the indicated regulation.

Maintenance
The “GRIFO” is particularly sturdy, extremely simple and reliable so it does not require
maintenance but we strongly advise to proceed regularly, at least twice per year, with a clearing of
the filter from dirt and deposits, simply by unscrewing the tap (9) and washing the mesh. This
procedure can be carried out without interrupting the flow through the main valve, and simply by
isolating the main circuit by means of the isolation ball valve and removing the pressure right
upstream of the GRIFO.

In case of malfunctioning or defects, that can be found on the main valve, is possible to intervene
without removing the product from the pipeline. The defects can be either internal and external.
The external defects mainly concerns the pilot circuit and are not related to the main body of the
XLC control valve.
The internal defects concern the mobile block, or the deterioration of the internal components.
Problems can be summed up in three categories:
a) the valve is blocked, the mobile block does not move;
b) the mobile block moves but the valve does not react because the diaphragm is damaged.
c) the diaphragm is OK but the valve does not close or leakages is reported.

The possible causes lead to:


• defects on the diaphragm;
• defects on the movements of the mobile block;
• friction caused by deposits and corrosion;
• problems on the gaskets;
• defects on the sealing seat.

XLC 310/410

1) Checking the diaphragm


In order to verify if the diaphragm has suffered any damage simply proceed as follows:
a) slowly close the upstream and downstream gate valves;
b) close all the ball valves of the circuit;
c) completely open the air vent valve from the position indicator, if the latter is not present
the fitting of the isolation valve on the chamber;
d) open the upstream gate valve slowly but not completely little by little so that the pressure
enters the main valve body.
The water that flows will raise the mobile block and the membrane therefore, the air vent will
discharge the remaining water trapped inside the main valve bonnet.
When all the water of the main chamber has been expelled (this operation could take a few
minutes and is related to the DN of the valve as well as the opening percentage of the upstream
gate valve) if the membrane is not damaged, the flow will come to an end and you can be sure the
cause of the problem has to be found somewhere else.
On the contrary if the flow keeps going the diaphragm is surely damaged or the nut fixing the
membrane to the shaft is not tightened enough, therefore intervene accordingly, simply by
replacing the diaphragm or setting the nut tight.
Warning: remember to close the upstream gate and decrease all the remaining pressure inside
the valve before removing the bonnet.

Movement of the mobile block


In order to verify the proper movement of the mobile block to proceed as follows: isolate the main
chamber closing the two isolation ball valves on the upstream and downstream side of the valve’s
body, and open the drain port located on top of the position indicator. In this way you will relief the
pressure out of the valve’s bonnet.
Attention: with this operation we will basically open the valve completely, therefore no regulation
will be performed. Make sure to avoid dangerous consequences of the pressure system onto which
the valve is acting.
When the main valve is completely opened mark the glass of the indicator to the
corresponding position.
Now close leave the isolation ball valve downstream and open the correspondent upstream, also
close the air release valve on the position indicator. The main valve will close.
Verify that the valve closes following the movement downwards of the indication rod (a slowing
down in the final phase is normal and caused by the bending and adjustment of the diaphragm).
When the valve is closed, mark the glass of the indicator to the corresponding position and verify
that the movement of the rod is like the one indicated below, if different, then means that there is
something preventing the proper movement of the mobile group and please contact CSA
immediately.

XLC 310/410

The clogging can be located between the seat and obturator if the indication rod is in closed
position and the flow continues, or between the sealing seat and cap if the valve does not reach
the complete opening. Before proceeding to dismantling the cover, it is suggested to do some
manual opening and closing operations putting the main chamber under pressure and discharging
it. This operation proved to be enough in some situations to flush the dirt downstream. If not take
the cover apart.

3) Friction of the shaft


One of the more frequent causes of the mobile group movement obstruction are the
corrosion and deposits on the main shaft causing friction. They can be due to particles (conveyed
from the water) or to limestone deposits (for extremely hard water) that in the long run cause the
jamming of the main shaft on the guiding devices, because of the high friction value.
Should that be the case simply proceed to a proper cleaning leaving it in a muriatic acid solution
5% as long as necessary, shouldn’t that be sufficient then proceed with a fine abrasive cloth until
the deposit is completely removed.

4) Plane gasket
The valve must close watertight once the pressure has entered the main chamber and if we have
enough pressure to do it which is at least 0,5 bar acting on the pilot in addition to headloss during
outflow, if that doesn’t happen proceed with the inspection of the plane gasket performance
assuring the closure between the obturator and the sealing seat.

5) Sealing seat
One more reason that could be responsible for the improper closure of the valve may be the
sealing seat, occurring in case of dirt and deposits or damaged due to cavitation. In these cases
we must proceed with an accurate inspection to clean the component by means of sandpaper
then polish it, if the problem can’t be solved on the spot please contact CSA technical support for
immediate assistance.

16
XLC 310/410

Disassembly
As mentioned before make sure that the gate valves upstream and downstream of the valves have
been properly closed and set tight.
Relieve the pressure of the main chamber simply by closing the isolation valves of the circuit and
opening one of its fittings. Proceed with the removal of the circuitry, in order to facilitate the
intervention on the cover, only after having noted down the layout
Remove the nuts (20) and the washers (21). If the valve has been working for a long time you may
notice that all the parts in contact with the diaphragm will tend to get stuck, in this case simply hit
the lower part of the cover to loosen it by means of a plastic hammer and a chisel driving it
upwards. After that, hoisting the valve vertically using eyebolts. Remove the internal mobile block
and put it into a grip with clamps in soft material such as brass or aluminum, be extremely
careful doing that because the upper and lower main shaft surface responsible of the valve-s
guiding mechanism, if worn or etched, may cause the blocking of the valve due to its bind in the
bearings.
Remove the nut and the washer (11) take off the upper flat (12) the O-rings (5 and 6) check the
diaphragm (13) looking for damage and, after having pulled out the plane gasket (15) by means of
a screw driver (please make sure not to wear the gasket itself or its housing) examine it carefully.
Check the driving bush on the cover (9).
Examine the sealing seat (17) looking for scratches that may affect the proper water tightness and
for possible sign of cavitation.
The sealing seat is made in stainless steel and it usually doesn’t require particular
maintenance, a very important thing though is to guarantee proper cleaning by means of sand
paper.
Up to DN 150 the sealing seat is screwed into the body while for the remaining DN it is set tight by
several screws. To carry out a further inspection and removal of the sealing seat, and in case of
cavitation, please contact CSA technical support for immediate assistance.

Inspection
After all the components have been dismantled we need to look for any damage caused by wear of
the surface, deposits, corrosion or something else.
It is strongly advised to replace every 4 years all the components made in rubber, responsible for
the water tightness of the valve, such as O-Rings, the diaphragm, the plane gasket.

17
XLC 310/410

Reassembly
To reassemble do the reverse of the disassembly procedure positioning the main shaft back into
the grip along with all the pieces. It is very important not to forget the O-Rings (5 and 6) and to set
the nut tight (11) to assure a proper torque between the diaphragm and the plane gasket. Please
be extremely careful with this step because a nut not properly tight may engender movements
making the mobile block unstable, therefore affecting the valve’s performance.
Put the mobile group back into the valve’s body placing the shaft into the sealing seat guide, make
the holes of the diaphragm match the studs and position the spring (10) under the cover.
Set the nuts tight using a cross over pattern, then put the circuitry back to its original position.

Final inspection
Make sure that the internal mobile block can move without any friction, this can be verified simply
by gradually putting the main chamber under pressure and checking the movement of the
indication rod, as explained before.
Examine the status of the plane gasket simply by checking the perfect water tightness of the
sealing seat. At this point proceed by opening the upstream gate valve full throttle to have the
normal working conditions, check for any leakage through the cover or the nuts, should that
happen set them tighter.

automatic control valve
Mod. XLC 310/410

The CSA model XLC 310/410 is a globe pattern


hydraulically operated automatic control valve that
reduces and stabilizes the downstream pressure to
a constant value, regardless of variation in
demands and upstream pressure conditions.
Normally equipped with visual position indicator
and entirely made in ductile cast iron with FBT
epoxy coating and stainless steel, the valve is
designed to reduce head loss, throttling noise and
cavitation damage. The CSA pressure reducing
stabilizing valve XLC 310/410 is extremely versatile
and can be used for a wide range of applications.

Operating principle
The CSA model XLC 310/410 is an automatic control
valve operated by a 2 ways pilot (5) with pre-set set
and adjustable value. Should the downstream
4 5 pressure rise above the pilot set point the latter will
throttle and limit the flow to direct inlet pressure to the
main chamber (10), thus pushing down the obturator
8 (11) to generate the head loss required for the valve
(9) to reduce and stabilize the downstream pressure
6 10 7
to a constant value. Should the downstream pressure
3a 3 fall below the pilot set point the obturator (11) will
11
raise increasing the passage through the seat (12),
12 thus reducing the head loss followed by the rise in
1 2 pressure. The flow in and out of the main chamber
(10) is controlled by the CSA unit regulation device
with filter GR.I.F.O. (4) provided with three needle
valves and flow stabilizers, needed for the valve’s
response time and accuracy also in case of rapid
variation in demand. Thanks to the isolation ball
valves (1-2-3) the control circuit and its components
can be maintained without interrupting the flow
9 through the main line.

Installation layout
The XLC 310/410 installation lay-out includes sectioning devices (1, 2) and by-pass for maintenance
operations, and a filter (3) to prevent dirt from reaching the control valve. The direct acting pressure
reducer VRCD (4) is the best choice on the by-pass thanks to its reliability also after long periods of
inactivity. Anti-surge combination air valves FOX 3F AS (6, 7) are recommended upstream and
downstream as well as a pressure relief valve VSM (5) to prevent rise in pressure on the main line.

Handling and storage


Lifting the valve improperly may damage it and the equipments around. It is mandatory not to
fasten the valve around the circuit, fittings, pipes, solenoids or position indicators. Valves must be
lifted only by cables, chains, located around the body, through the flanges holes or eyebolts.
During hoisting always consider that the center of mass depends on the circuitry and pilots
installed.
If installation will be delayed place the valve indoors in a secure watertight storage. Should that be
unavailable use a vermin proof rain cover around the valve to keep off rain, mud, humidity. Place
the valve on a solid and well drained surface base to prevent moisture, flood from reaching the
body.

Lifting the valve in the wrong way may cause malfunctioning, emission of water
spurts, injuries to the personnel and permanent damages of the valve.

5
XLC 310/410

Installation
The automatic control valve XLC must be always installed in a horizontal position with the bonnet
upwards. Smaller valves, (150 mm and smaller) can be installed in a vertical pipe shouldn’t be
unavoidable. Prior to that consult CSA and specify the orientation in the order. A stable and non-
pulsating source of pressure is necessary for the proper performance of CSA control valves,
whose minimum pressure is displayed on the technical brochure and always 0,5 bar on the pilot in
addition to the head-loss produced during working conditions.

• Gate valves or other sectioning devices must be installed upstream and downstream of
CSA control valves to allow for maintenance.
• The operating fluid must be free of air, air valves (CSA Mod. FOX 3F AS combination anti-
slam) should be installed downstream and upstream. This to avoid the accumulation of air
pockets during working conditions, allow air discharge during pipe filling and entrance in
case of pipe burst and draining.
• A suitable by-pass should be provided for servicing of the valve without interrupting the
flow. For the by-pass sectioning do not use standard gate valve, likely to get damaged
during modulation, but rely on globe pattern gate valves and/or CSA direct acting pressure
reducing valves.
• If not included in the order install pressure gauges upstream and downstream, a flow
measurement device is always recommended to make sure hydraulic conditions remain
within the values used for sizing.
• A strainer with suitable basket and mesh should be installed ahead of the valve to protect
internal components from debris, particles and foreign material.
• Sufficient space should be provided around the valve for disassembly.
• Check direction of flow and make sure it is according to the marking on the valve’s casting.
• Make sure the flanges and pipes connection are according to the valve’s standard. The
nuts and bolts setting has to be conducted in the proper way, gradual and symmetrical, in
order not to produced additional stress and deformation.
• During handling be sure not to damage the glass of the position indicator, if present.

6
XLC 310/410

Set up
For the proper set up of XLC Mod. 310 and 410 reader is advised to use the following points (rif.
picture on page 4).

The set up and valve regulation has to be carried out by qualified personnel only, or
directly from CSA service. Improper actions can lead to permanent damages to the
valve, its internal components and system equipments along with possible injuries of
the people involved.

• Make sure the isolation ball valves of the circuitry (2-3-4) are fully open
• The valve is at first isolated from the main line as both sectioning devices, upstream and
downstream, are closed.

The difference in pressure generated by the valve during the pressure


sustaining/relief function will produce a thrust proportional to the pressure itself.
Anchorage blocks and way of preventing valve’s movement or shifting need to be
taken into account.

• Unless a specific setting has been required in the order remove the hood from the pilot (6)
and turn anti-clock wise the screw to decrease the spring force in the cover almost
completely. The downstream set pressure depends on the pilot setting and it is proportional
to the charge of the spring. Regulation chart are available on request.
• Slowly operate on the upstream gate valve to open it by 30 %, leaving the downstream
sectioning device completely closed.
• Pressure will enter the valve’s body, circuitry and bonnet pushing down the diaphragm and
mobile block against the obturator and inducing the valve’s closure
• Remove the air entrapped in the bonnet, during the operation, by means of the air release
device located on top of the position indicator (7) leaving it flowing for at least 20 seconds.
• Open completely the upstream gate valve
• Slowly open the downstream gate valve, to a maximum of 40% of the stroke, to generate
some flow through the valve and give the valve enough time to react, this depends on how
big is the system downstream and on the variations in demands.
• Having decompressed, the spring as per indications mentioned above unless a specific
setting was required in the order, the XLC control valve will tend to reduced pressure
limiting the flow.

7
XLC 310/410

• Slowly act on the regulation screw on the pilot (6) turning it clockwise, the variation in
pressure depends on the spring range used, and can vary from 0,47 bar to 0,95 bar per
revolution with the most common springs used. Please consult CSA for more details.

Regulations of pilots has to be carried out slowly to avoid unwanted pulsations and
pressure surges. Always leave enough time for the system to balance, in case of
doubts and problems allow for some flow through the by-pass to stabilize the line and
call CSA technical support.

• Once the valve has reached the desired value set the locking nut and place the hood on top
of the pilot. Open the downstream gate valve completely then and check once again the
pressure gauge and the flow meters.
• The unit flow control device GR.I.F.O. is exclusive from CSA and contains needle valves,
filter and check valves used for the proper valve’s stability and regulation. If present do
never change the settings before consulting with CSA technical support.

Valves epoxy painted FBT

Valves epoxy painted using FBT requires washers flat washers to be installed on the
flanges connections to prevent the paint from cracking or chipping.

Maintenance
CSA automatic control valves XLC series have been designed with a sturdy and reliable
construction to minimize servicing and possible malfunctioning. However we recommend to inspect
them at least twice per year releasing the air accumulated inside the bonnet and checking the
strainer inside the GR.I.F.O, if present, or placed as a separate entity in the circuitry. We
recommend a thorough inspection and maintenance with complete disassembly every 4 years,
according to the following instructions.

XLC 310/410

MRV – Downstream pressure reducing pilot


The downstream pressure reducing pilot is a
04 diaphragm operated valve, spring loaded
05
and direct acting, that can be installed
06 basically in any position.
The function is nothing but to reduce and
02
07
stabilize the downstream pressure,
regardless of flow rate and upstream
08
pressure fluctuations.
12

10
Operation
19
The valve is normally opened thanks to the
11
force exerted by the spring over the
03
diaphragm, that is opposed to the
01 downstream pressure applied directly below
13
it. When the downstream pressure exceeds
14 the force of the spring the obturator is
15
pushed up closing the passage through the
16 17
pilot, therefore leading the pressure towards
the main chamber and allowing the valve
18
to throttle which will result in a pressure
reduction, because of the head loss created
between the obturator and the main valve
seat. We obtain the regulation by acting on
the screw (05), i.e. clockwise to increase the
pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease
it.

Disassembly
It is not necessary to remove the pilot from
the circuit for the disassembly. Instead use
the enclosed picture which indicates the
numbers specified here below to perform the
operations.
1- Remove the hood of the pilot (4) loosen
the tightening nut (6) and turn the lead screw
(5) anticlockwise, until the spring is
completely unloaded.
2- Remove the screws (19) holding the cover
(2).
3- Separate the cover, the spring (8) and the
spring guide (7).

9
XLC 310/410

4- With a monkey wrench 24 remove the lower tap (16) and the spring (18).
5- With a monkey wrench 13 unscrew the tightening nut (12) to remove the upper flat (10) and the
diaphragm (11).
6- Again with key 13 unscrew the gasket holder (14) and pull out the staple shaped obturator guide
(3).
7- Check the sealing seat (13) and if necessary remove it using a 13 tube key.

Inspection and repair


During these operations carefully check every detail to find damage, in particular the diaphragm
and the sealing seat gasket. The pilot is very sturdy and the materials are designed to guarantee
many years of working conditions for which, generally, it is sufficient to remove the deposits
and make sure to keep the metallic internal components properly lubricated. If that is not enough
we strongly recommend you to contact CSA technical support or order the maintenance kit.

Reassembly
To reassembly the pilot you have to repeat, obviously in reverse sequence, the same steps
specified in the dismantling phase, while paying attention to:
- Place the diaphragm on the staple shaped obturator guide, then the upper flat and the self-
locking dice which must not be excessively tight so as not to wear the internal components, please
contact CSA for any doubt related to the torque required to perform the operation.
- Now insert this component in the body with a light pressure in such a way as to make its holes
match the ones of the diaphragm.
- During this operation pay particular attention to the correct alignment of the staple shaped
obturator guide with the protuberance of the body, in order to avoid contact and friction
that could affect the proper operation of the pilot.
- At this point screw the obturator on the staple shaped obturator guide and proceed with the tap
(16), provided with O-ring (17) so that the gasket holder (14) can slide inside of it.
- Place the spring, the sealing seat, the cover, set the screws and put the cap back.

The “GR.I.F.O.” (Integrated Group Filter Orifices) is a CSA unit flow control device that includes
all the necessary functions, needed for the proper regulation and stability of the main valve. Its
compact design makes the entire circuitry easy to be maintained, simple and intuitive yet allowing
a tremendous range of regulations compared to other solutions on the market.
It is completely manufactured in stainless steel AISI 303 and contains:
- a fine mesh filter in AISI 304 (8) to protect the pilot circuit from possible dirt, maintained simply by
unscrewing the tap (9).
- the intervention also called reaction speed regulator* (4) of the main valve, and the opening (3)
and closing (2) speed regulators* of the valve’s main chamber, independent one from the other,
obtained by CSA fine adjustment needle valves.

XLC 310/410

- replaceable check valves placed upstream of every regulator to limit the flow and control
the acceleration during the valve opening and closing.
- an upstream outlet not filtered protected by a cap 1/8 G
- an upstream pressure outlet filtered, 1/8 G, protected by an air valve.
- The adjustment is normally done in the factory although it is possible to modify it on the spot, in
order to find the optimal regulation according to the function required.

Herewith enclosed are the optimal values for the most common XLC applications expressed in
terms of revolutions, starting from the fully closed position and turning anticlockwise.

The regulators are needle valves designed by and exclusive property of CSA Srl and the
rotation permits to obtain a specific passage. For example the regulation 3 means that, starting
from the complete closed needle (turned clockwise), unscrewing 3 turns in opening you will get
the indicated regulation.

Maintenance
The “GRIFO” is particularly sturdy, extremely simple and reliable so it does not require
maintenance but we strongly advise to proceed regularly, at least twice per year, with a clearing of
the filter from dirt and deposits, simply by unscrewing the tap (9) and washing the mesh. This
procedure can be carried out without interrupting the flow through the main valve, and simply by
isolating the main circuit by means of the isolation ball valve and removing the pressure right
upstream of the GRIFO.

In case of malfunctioning or defects, that can be found on the main valve, is possible to intervene
without removing the product from the pipeline. The defects can be either internal and external.
The external defects mainly concerns the pilot circuit and are not related to the main body of the
XLC control valve.
The internal defects concern the mobile block, or the deterioration of the internal components.
Problems can be summed up in three categories:
a) the valve is blocked, the mobile block does not move;
b) the mobile block moves but the valve does not react because the diaphragm is damaged.
c) the diaphragm is OK but the valve does not close or leakages is reported.

The possible causes lead to:


• defects on the diaphragm;
• defects on the movements of the mobile block;
• friction caused by deposits and corrosion;
• problems on the gaskets;
• defects on the sealing seat.

1) Checking the diaphragm


In order to verify if the diaphragm has suffered any damage simply proceed as follows:
a) slowly close the upstream and downstream gate valves;
b) close all the ball valves of the circuit;
c) completely open the air vent valve from the position indicator, if the latter is not present
the fitting of the isolation valve on the chamber;
d) open the upstream gate valve slowly but not completely little by little so that the pressure
enters the main valve body.
The water that flows will raise the mobile block and the membrane therefore, the air vent will
discharge the remaining water trapped inside the main valve bonnet.
When all the water of the main chamber has been expelled (this operation could take a few
minutes and is related to the DN of the valve as well as the opening percentage of the upstream
gate valve) if the membrane is not damaged, the flow will come to an end and you can be sure the
cause of the problem has to be found somewhere else.
On the contrary if the flow keeps going the diaphragm is surely damaged or the nut fixing the
membrane to the shaft is not tightened enough, therefore intervene accordingly, simply by
replacing the diaphragm or setting the nut tight.
Warning: remember to close the upstream gate and decrease all the remaining pressure inside
the valve before removing the bonnet.

Movement of the mobile block


In order to verify the proper movement of the mobile block to proceed as follows: isolate the main
chamber closing the two isolation ball valves on the upstream and downstream side of the valve’s
body, and open the drain port located on top of the position indicator. In this way you will relief the
pressure out of the valve’s bonnet.
Attention: with this operation we will basically open the valve completely, therefore no regulation
will be performed. Make sure to avoid dangerous consequences of the pressure system onto which
the valve is acting.
When the main valve is completely opened mark the glass of the indicator to the
corresponding position.
Now close leave the isolation ball valve downstream and open the correspondent upstream, also
close the air release valve on the position indicator. The main valve will close.
Verify that the valve closes following the movement downwards of the indication rod (a slowing
down in the final phase is normal and caused by the bending and adjustment of the diaphragm).
When the valve is closed, mark the glass of the indicator to the corresponding position and verify
that the movement of the rod is like the one indicated below, if different, then means that there is
something preventing the proper movement of the mobile group and please contact CSA
immediately.

The clogging can be located between the seat and obturator if the indication rod is in closed
position and the flow continues, or between the sealing seat and cap if the valve does not reach
the complete opening. Before proceeding to dismantling the cover, it is suggested to do some
manual opening and closing operations putting the main chamber under pressure and discharging
it. This operation proved to be enough in some situations to flush the dirt downstream. If not take
the cover apart.

3) Friction of the shaft


One of the more frequent causes of the mobile group movement obstruction are the
corrosion and deposits on the main shaft causing friction. They can be due to particles (conveyed
from the water) or to limestone deposits (for extremely hard water) that in the long run cause the
jamming of the main shaft on the guiding devices, because of the high friction value.
Should that be the case simply proceed to a proper cleaning leaving it in a muriatic acid solution
5% as long as necessary, shouldn’t that be sufficient then proceed with a fine abrasive cloth until
the deposit is completely removed.

4) Plane gasket
The valve must close watertight once the pressure has entered the main chamber and if we have
enough pressure to do it which is at least 0,5 bar acting on the pilot in addition to headloss during
outflow, if that doesn’t happen proceed with the inspection of the plane gasket performance
assuring the closure between the obturator and the sealing seat.

5) Sealing seat
One more reason that could be responsible for the improper closure of the valve may be the
sealing seat, occurring in case of dirt and deposits or damaged due to cavitation. In these cases
we must proceed with an accurate inspection to clean the component by means of sandpaper
then polish it, if the problem can’t be solved on the spot please contact CSA technical support for
immediate assistance.

Disassembly
As mentioned before make sure that the gate valves upstream and downstream of the valves have
been properly closed and set tight.
Relieve the pressure of the main chamber simply by closing the isolation valves of the circuit and
opening one of its fittings. Proceed with the removal of the circuitry, in order to facilitate the
intervention on the cover, only after having noted down the layout
Remove the nuts (20) and the washers (21). If the valve has been working for a long time you may
notice that all the parts in contact with the diaphragm will tend to get stuck, in this case simply hit
the lower part of the cover to loosen it by means of a plastic hammer and a chisel driving it
upwards. After that, hoisting the valve vertically using eyebolts. Remove the internal mobile block
and put it into a grip with clamps in soft material such as brass or aluminum, be extremely
careful doing that because the upper and lower main shaft surface responsible of the valve-s
guiding mechanism, if worn or etched, may cause the blocking of the valve due to its bind in the
bearings.
Remove the nut and the washer (11) take off the upper flat (12) the O-rings (5 and 6) check the
diaphragm (13) looking for damage and, after having pulled out the plane gasket (15) by means of
a screw driver (please make sure not to wear the gasket itself or its housing) examine it carefully.
Check the driving bush on the cover (9).
Examine the sealing seat (17) looking for scratches that may affect the proper water tightness and
for possible sign of cavitation.
The sealing seat is made in stainless steel and it usually doesn’t require particular
maintenance, a very important thing though is to guarantee proper cleaning by means of sand
paper.
Up to DN 150 the sealing seat is screwed into the body while for the remaining DN it is set tight by
several screws. To carry out a further inspection and removal of the sealing seat, and in case of
cavitation, please contact CSA technical support for immediate assistance.

Inspection
After all the components have been dismantled we need to look for any damage caused by wear of
the surface, deposits, corrosion or something else.
It is strongly advised to replace every 4 years all the components made in rubber, responsible for
the water tightness of the valve, such as O-Rings, the diaphragm, the plane gasket.

17
XLC 310/410

Reassembly
To reassemble do the reverse of the disassembly procedure positioning the main shaft back into
the grip along with all the pieces. It is very important not to forget the O-Rings (5 and 6) and to set
the nut tight (11) to assure a proper torque between the diaphragm and the plane gasket. Please
be extremely careful with this step because a nut not properly tight may engender movements
making the mobile block unstable, therefore affecting the valve’s performance.
Put the mobile group back into the valve’s body placing the shaft into the sealing seat guide, make
the holes of the diaphragm match the studs and position the spring (10) under the cover.
Set the nuts tight using a cross over pattern, then put the circuitry back to its original position.

Final inspection
Make sure that the internal mobile block can move without any friction, this can be verified simply
by gradually putting the main chamber under pressure and checking the movement of the
indication rod, as explained before.
Examine the status of the plane gasket simply by checking the perfect water tightness of the
sealing seat. At this point proceed by opening the upstream gate valve full throttle to have the
normal working conditions, check for any leakage through the cover or the nuts, should that
happen set them tighter.
