Design Characteristics

Design Characteristics

  • all types of AZ-valves combinable
  • for cooling and heating cycles
  • for pump cycles
  • for safety-valves
  • for filter-cycles
  • for reactor cycles
  • available hand-operated, gear-operated and with actuators

Sample applications

Filter-cycle
Replacement or cleaning of filter is possible without any problems by application of AZ-crossover-valve-combinations. When filter 1 is blocked up the valve combination is switched over to flow consequently regulated by filter 2. Therefore it is possible to replace the filter 1 without interruption of the continuous flow. If “LL”- plug is used moreover a continuous flow during the phase of switching is guaranteed. In this case a complete closing during switching is not possible.

Pump-cycle
On break-down of pump 1 an easy replacement of pump 1 is possible by switching the valve combination to pump 2 without interruption of the continuous flow. If “LL”- plug is used moreover a continuous flow during the phase of switching is guaranteed. In this case a complete closing during switching is not possible.

PT-Diagramm

Operating temperatures < -30°C and > 220 °C have to be checked and approved by AZ according to the operating conditions.

Besides the P/T value of the sleeve the limitations of the valve bodies also have to be considered. Please refer to the EN 12516-1 resp. ASME B16.34 in order to choose a proper pressure rating (PN/class). The shown values refer to austenitic stainless steel 1.4408 (A351 Gr. CF8M).

1) For operating temperatures below -10°C low temperature / austenitic steels are required.
2) Sleeve: There are different sleeve materials / compounds available.
