TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The PIETRO FIORENTINI SPA with registered office in Milan (Italy) – via Rosellini, 1, declares under its sole responsibility that the apparatus series Reval 182 bearing the CE marking showed in this manual are designed, manufactured, tested and inspected in accordance with the provisions of Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED).

TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 PRECAUTIONS GENERAL PRECAUTIONS - The apparatus described in this manual is a device subject to pressure installed in systems under pressure; - the apparatus in question is normally installed in systems for transporting flammable gases (natural gas, for example).

97/23/EC (PED). The incorporated safety device monitor PM/182 (as well as the in-line monitor REVAL 182) being classified as fail close regulators according to the standard EN 334 is categorized as safety accessory according PED, therefore it can be used both as pressure accessory and safety accessory to PED.
MAIN SPECIFICATIONS The REVAL 182 pressure regulator is a regulator for medium and low pressures. The REVAL 182 a fail closed type regulator and therefore closed in event of: - rupture of the main diaphragm; - rupture of the pilot diaphragm;...

TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 Connections to be made by the customer Fig. 1 The motorisation pressure is obtained by drawing gas from the regulator at the upstream pressure. The gas is filtered through the incorporated filter 28 and is subjected to initial decompression in the adjustable pre-regulator RR40 (fig.
Page 11
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 the regulated pressure begins to increase, the force it exerts on the diaphragm 23 of the pilot moves the mobile assembly 16 displacing the obturator 17 towards the closed position. The pressure, Pm, then drops because of the transfer between the chambers E and D through the orifice 21, and the force exerted by the spring 54 causes the downward displacement of the obturator 5, to restore the regulated pressure to the set-point.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 1.2.2 REGULATOR WITH PILOT 204/A+R14/A (fig. 3) In the absence of pressure, the obturator 5 is maintained in the closed position by the spring 54, and rests on the reinforced gasket 7 (fig. 3). The upstream pressure, even if variable, does not change this position as the obturator is completely balanced and is therefore subject to equal pressures, even if the sections are different.
Page 13
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 The set-point can be changed by turning the adjustment screw 10; clockwise rotation increases Pm and therefore the regulated pressure, Pa; the opposite occurs when the ring is turned anticlockwise. If, for example, the downstream pressure, Pa, drops during operation (because of an increase in the requested flow rate or a drop in the upstream pressure) an imbalance occurs in the mobile assembly 15 of the pilot, which is displaced to increase the opening of the obturator 17.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 SETTING SPRINGS The REVAL 182 regulator uses the P90, P92 and 204/A pilots. The regulation range of the different pilots is given in the tables below. Tab. 1 RR40 Setting springs pre-regulator Code Colour Setting range in bar...
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 INSTALLATION GENERAL Pressure regulator does not require any supplementary upstream safety accessory for protection against overpressure compared with its design pressure PS, when upstream reducing station is sized for a max downstream incidental pressure MIPd ≤ 1,1 PS. Before installing the regulator it is necessary to ensure that: - the regulator can be inserted in the space provided and that subsequent maintenance operations will be sufficiently practicable;...

TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 TAB. 5 DETAIL OF MULTIPLE TAKE - OFF WITH OF THE IMPULSE TAKE - OFF REFERENCE NUMBERS 1 and 2 Connect to regulators heads 3 and 4 Connect to pilots 5 and 6 Connect to accelerator and slam-shut The regulator must be installed in the line with the arrow on the body pointing in the gas flow direction.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 Obviously the quantity of gas released depends on the extent of the overpressure with respect to the set-point. The different models of relief valve available are all based on the same operating principle which is illustrated below with reference to the valve VS/AM 55 (fig.
Fig. 9 ACCELERATOR An accelerator (fig. 10) is installed on the PM/182 icorporated monitor and on the REVAL 182 regulator (use as in-line monitor) to speed up their intervention in the event of failure of the active regulator (racommended when used safety accessory according to Directive 97/23/EC “PED”).
This is a device (fig. 11) which immediately blocks the gas flow if, following some kind of failure, the downstream pressure reaches the set-point for its intervention, or is operated manually. On the REVAL 182 regulator, it is possible to have the SB/82 slam-shut incorporated both with the service regulator and on the one functioning as in-line monitor.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 4.2.1 SB/82 SLAM-SHUT OPERATION The SB/82 slam-shut device (see fig. 11/A) consists of an obturator A, a releasing lever system, a control head B and a resetting system which is controlled manually by the lever C. The pressure in the circuit to control acts on the diaphragm in the control head B.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 INCORPORATED SLAM-SHUT VB/93 This is a device (fig. 12) which immediately blocks the gas flow if, following some kind of failure, the downstream pressure reaches the set-point for its intervention or if it is operated manually. The main characteristics of the slam-shut device are: •...
• a mobile obturator 104 subject to the load of the closing spring 124; • a seal 107 already used in the Reval 182 regulators; • a lever assembly 114, 116 and 118 whose rotation provokes movement of the obturator 104;...
The monitor is an emergency regulator which takes over from the active regulator if for any reason the latter permits the downstream pressure to rise up to the value set for its intervention. When pressure regulator Reval 182 or incorporated monitor PM/182 are used as monitor, to increase response time an accelerato is installed.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 4.4.2 IN-LINE MONITOR With this kind of application, the emergency regulator is installed upstream from the service one (fig. 14). Ref. No. for the connections Connections to be made by the customer V/25 Fig. 14 Ref. No. for the connections Connections to be made by the customer V/25 Fig.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 START UP GENERAL After installation, check that the inlet/output on-off valves, any by-pass and the bleed cock are closed. Before starting up, checking is recommended to ascertain that the conditions of use are in conformity with the specifications of the equipment.
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 The list of symbols used and their meanings are listed below: = According to Directive PED Pemax= maximum inlet operating pressure of the apparatus bpe= range of variability of the inlet pressure of the pressure regulator in normal operating conditions PS= maximum pressure which can be supported by the structure of the body of the apparatus in safety conditions Wa= range of setting of the pressure regulator/pilot/pre-regulator which can be obtained using the parts and the setting spring fitted at the moment of testing (without changing any components of the apparatus, that is).
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 COMMISSIONING THE REGULATOR WITH INCORPORATED VB/93 SLAM-SHUT (FIG. 16) If there is also a relief valve in the line, refer to par. 3.1 to check it. Fig. 16 Check and adjust the intervention of the slam-shut 7 as follows: A) For slam-shuts connected to the downstream piping by a three-way deviator push valve 11, proceed as follows (Fig.

Page 33
TECHNICAL MANUAL MT043 ATTENTION At the end of the operation, reconnect the control head to the downstream pressure take-off. N.B.: The intervention tests should be repeated at least every 6 months. At the end of the slam-shut check, proceed as follows: 1) Check that the slam-shut is in the closed position.
