BY-PASS VALVES
NORMALLY CLOSED
STRAINERS
FROM
PUMP
VALVE "A"
This instructional data explains the installation and
operation of the cooling system for UL listed, FM
approved Fire Pump engines equipped with heat
exchangers.
Engines equipped with heat exchangers use an engine
mounted water pump to circulate jacket water around
the tubes of the heat exchanger to maintain proper
jacket water temperatures. Cooling water, supplied by
the Fire Pump, is piped through the tubes and dis-
charged to waste.
REQUIREMENTS
The loop portion of the cooling water supply piping,
shown above, incorporates all components required by
NFPA and is sized to provide the required volume of
water at the proper pressure for the heat exchangers of
the engine models listed in Table A.
Model 481 & 485 pumps are shipped from the plant
with the loop piped between the pump and engine. The
pipe and loop sizes are determined by the engine
model.
COMPONENTS
1. A flushing type strainer is used to protect the regula-
tor valve, solenoid valve and the tubes of the heat
exchanger from foreign material.
2. The regulator valve is used to control the volume
and pressure of the cooling water.
3. The solenoid valve opens automatically when the
engine is started and closes automatically on engine shut-

down to prevent the waste of cooling water. (One red
wire must be connected to terminal #1 of the engine junc-
tion box, the other red wire to terminal #11 of the engine
junction box, and the green wire grounded to the engine
block. Refer to applicable wiring diagrams.)
4. The valves in the BYPASS Iine of the loop are nor-
mally CLOSED. They should ONLY be opened to pro-
vide cooling water to the engine if the regulator valve
or solenoid valve require repair.
5. Valves "A" and "B" are normally OPEN. They should
ONLY be closed if repair is required to the regulator
valve or solenoid valve.
6. The gauge indicates back pressure on the cooling
water discharge. The recommended back pressure to
assure adequate flow is 15-20 PSI and should not
exceed the allowable pressure shown in Table A.
7. Since cooling loop components are subject to
bumps and movement during shipping. all compo-
nents must be checked for pipe strain and leakage prior
to initial startup.
INSTALLATION -COOLING WATER OUTLET
The cooling water outlet piping from the engine heat
exchanger must be at least the size listed in Table A.
The piping must be short, have no valves and dis-
charge into an open waste cone. If deviations from the
requirement of discharge to an open waste cone are
permitted by the authority having jurisdiction, the
proposed plumbing must be reviewed to assure that
the back pressure created wiII not reduce the cooling
water flow to below that required for the engine.

Supersedes Section 916 Page 302
Dated July 2001 COOLING WATER PIPING DATA

If the outlet piping from two or more engines is connected
to a common manifold, the manifold piping should be
sized such that the velocity resulting from the combined
flow is the same as that in the outlet piping between the
manifold and heat exchanger.
Adequate pipe supports must be provided for the loop and
outlet piping to minimize vibration and prevent excessive
strain at the heat exchanger, pump and engine connec-
tions.
Engine coolant should be added in accordance with the
engine manufacturer’s recommendations.
adjusting is necessary, see the following procedure:
With the pump operating at the rated duty, the adjustment
is made after the engine block temperature has risen to the
level required to open the engine thermostat. The thermo-
stat opens at approximately 170°F. The temperature will
stabilize and then decrease slightly. At this point, the regu-
lator is adjusted between 15 and 20 PSI by turning the reg-
ulator screw clockwise to increase the pressure and coun-
terclockwise to reduce the pressure. The regulator screw is
then locked into place with the locknut provided.
MAINTENANCE

OPERATION 1. Strainers must be inspected frequently and kept clean.

The regulator valve is adjusted during operational tests at the 2. If cooling water temperature changes, the regulator
plant and set between 15 and 20 PSI back pressure. If additional valve may require adjustment.

Installation
Series 34 Air Release Valves are typically installed at high-
points in pipelines and at regular intervals, of approximate
1/2 mile, along uniform grade line pipe.
Mount the unit in the vertical position on top of the pipeline
with an isolation valve installed below each valve in the event
servicing is required. A vault with adequate air venting and
drainage is recommended.
Note:
Vacuum check valves can be supplied on the discharge of all
size air release valves to prevent air re-entering the system; during
negative pressure conditions
Cla-Val Series 34 Air Release Valves are designed to vent entrained air
that collects at high points in a pipeline. This valve continuously
eliminates air from a system by releasing small quantities of air before
large air pockets can occur. In many installations, continuing
accumulations of air in the pipeline (lacking air release valves); cause
flow capacity to slowly decrease; power consumption slowly increases;
unnoticeable at first, until flow drops dramatically, even stopping due to
air blocks in the piping. Another problem resulting from excessive air
accumulation is unexplained pipeline rupture. These ruptures are
passed off as the result of ground settling or defective pipe, Where as
in reality its large air pockets that greatly increase pressure surges
(normally occurring) when flow stops and starts causing the rupture.
During normal pipeline operation, air accumulation at the high point will
displace the liquid within the air valve and lower the water level in relation
to the float. As level of the liquid lowers, where the float is no longer
buoyant, the float drops and opens the valve orifice seat and permitting
accumulated air to be exhausted to atmosphere. After air is released, the
liquid level in the air valve rises and closes the valve orifice seat. This
cycle automatically repeats as air accumulates inside the air release valve,
thereby preventing the formation of air pockets.

Air Release Valve
Air Release Valve Sizing
Air release valve sizing requires determining the volume of air that must be released from pipeline high points during normal
operation and the diameter of the pipeline. Series 34 Air Release Valves are primarily used to continuously release pockets
of air (as they develop) from high point, hence it is not critical to determine exact volume of air to be released.

See chart on page 3 for sizing based on venting capacity.

Installation Tips
1. The effectiveness of Series 34 Air Release Valve is dependent upon it being located at appropriate high points in a pipeline and
at uniform intervals of approximately 2500 feet on horizontal pipelines.

2. There are four variables that can cause an air pocket to form slightly downstream of the true high point in a piping system:
1. Severity of the slope adjacent to the high point or change of gradient
2. Velocity of the liquid
3. Texture of the inside surface of the pipe being used
4. Viscosity of the fluid

It is recommended where an air pocket can form slightly downstream of the high point, to install additional Series 34 Air Release
Valve at this point.

3. Cla-Val has available, upon request, a Slide Rule Air Valve Calculator. It will greatly reduce the amount of time to size
valves for pipeline service.

55L
Pressure Relief Valve
• UL Listed
• Factory Mutual Approved
• Direct Acting - Precise Pressure Control
• Positive Dependable Opening
• Drip Tight Closure
• No Packing Glands or Stuffing Boxes
• Sensitive to Small Pressure Variations
The Cla-Val Model 55L (UL Listed, FM approved) Pressure Relief
Valve is a direct-acting, spring loaded, diaphragm type relief valve. The
valve may be installed in any position and will open and close within
very close pressure limits.

The Model 55L is normally held closed by the force of the compression
spring above the diaphragm. When the controlling pressure applied
under the diaphragm exceeds the spring setting, the disc is lifted off its
seat, permitting flow through the control. When control pressure drops
below the spring setting, the spring forces the control back to its
normally closed position. The controlling pressure is applied to the
chamber beneath the diaphragm through an external tube on the 55L.

Pressure adjustment is simply a matter of turning the adjusting screw to

vary the spring load on the diaphragm. The 55L is available in three
pressure ranges; 0 to 75 psi, 20 to 175 psi, 100 to 300 psi. To prevent
tampering, the adjustment cap can be wire sealed by using the lock
wire holes provided in the cap and cover.

Note: Also Available in Seawater Service Material

Typical Application
Fire Protection System Service
Using the Model 55L in a fire protection system or other closed type system, prevents pressure build-up whenever line pressure
exceeds the setting of the spring. The valve will relieve excess pressure to atmosphere preventing damage to the distribution network.

 Series 34
Air Release Valve
• Ductile Iron Body
• Stainless Steel Trim and Float
• Easily serviced without removal from pipeline
• Working pressures to 800 psi
• Engineered for drip tight seal at low pressures

This product meets Federal Mandate
for Lead Content Limit
Installation
Series 34 Air Release Valves are typically installed at high-
points in pipelines and at regular intervals, of approximate
1/2 mile, along uniform grade line pipe.
Mount the unit in the vertical position on top of the pipeline
with an isolation valve installed below each valve in the event
servicing is required. A vault with adequate air venting and
drainage is recommended.
Note:
Vacuum check valves can be supplied on the discharge of all
size air release valves to prevent air re-entering the system; during
negative pressure conditions
Cla-Val Series 34 Air Release Valves are designed to vent entrained air
that collects at high points in a pipeline. This valve continuously
eliminates air from a system by releasing small quantities of air before
large air pockets can occur. In many installations, continuing
accumulations of air in the pipeline (lacking air release valves); cause
flow capacity to slowly decrease; power consumption slowly increases;
unnoticeable at first, until flow drops dramatically, even stopping due to
air blocks in the piping. Another problem resulting from excessive air
accumulation is unexplained pipeline rupture. These ruptures are
passed off as the result of ground settling or defective pipe, Where as
in reality its large air pockets that greatly increase pressure surges
(normally occurring) when flow stops and starts causing the rupture.
During normal pipeline operation, air accumulation at the high point will
displace the liquid within the air valve and lower the water level in relation
to the float. As level of the liquid lowers, where the float is no longer
buoyant, the float drops and opens the valve orifice seat and permitting
accumulated air to be exhausted to atmosphere. After air is released, the
liquid level in the air valve rises and closes the valve orifice seat. This
cycle automatically repeats as air accumulates inside the air release valve,
thereby preventing the formation of air pockets.

 Series 34
Air Release Valve
Air Release Valve Sizing
Air release valve sizing requires determining the volume of air that must be released from pipeline high points during normal
operation and the diameter of the pipeline. Series 34 Air Release Valves are primarily used to continuously release pockets
of air (as they develop) from high point, hence it is not critical to determine exact volume of air to be released.

See chart on page 3 for sizing based on venting capacity.

Installation Tips
1. The effectiveness of Series 34 Air Release Valve is dependent upon it being located at appropriate high points in a pipeline and
at uniform intervals of approximately 2500 feet on horizontal pipelines.

2. There are four variables that can cause an air pocket to form slightly downstream of the true high point in a piping system:
1. Severity of the slope adjacent to the high point or change of gradient
2. Velocity of the liquid
3. Texture of the inside surface of the pipe being used
4. Viscosity of the fluid

It is recommended where an air pocket can form slightly downstream of the high point, to install additional Series 34 Air Release
Valve at this point.

3. Cla-Val has available, upon request, a Slide Rule Air Valve Calculator. It will greatly reduce the amount of time to size
valves for pipeline service.
