Design Features and Operating Concepts
Valves with electro-mechanical actuatorsfor quick opening or closing action
1/99
Normally closed shut-off valves are used in
burner system fuel supply lines on industrial boilers,
furnaces, ovens, kilns, and other heating processes.
All valves are designed to shut-off fuel automatically
and instantly with any interruption in the electric
power supplied through your safety circuit.
These valves are also used for the manual or
motorized opening or closing of pipe lines carrying
gases and liquids commonly used in industrial proc-
esses. Normally closed valves cannot be opened until
the interlocking safety control circuit is proven and
resulting electrical power is supplied to the shut-off
valve.
Motorized automatic valve actuators are used
where remote access or unmanned applications are
needed.
NOTE: Valve motors are protected against thermal
overload. Normal duty cycles of 1 cycle per minute or
less should allow motor thermal overload to suffi-
ciently cool between cycles. If the normal valve duty
cycle is exceeded, the motor must be allowed to cool
before the thermal protection will automatically reset.
Manual reset actuators require operating person-
nel to be physically present to actuate the valve from
its at rest position.
Normally open vent valves are most often used
as the bleed valve in a block-and-bleed pipe train,
sometimes required by insurance authorities. They
are designed to open a vent line automatically and
instantly upon any interruption in the electric power
supply through your safety control circuit.
These normally open valves are also used in
protective atmosphere systems and other gaseous
and fluid service requiring quick opening or by-pass
purging action.
Like the normally closed versions, both automatic
and manual reset actuators are available for remote
access locations, or when operating personnel's
physical presence is preferred.
All Maxon valves feature one-piece cast iron or
cast steel bodies with micro-lapped seats and discs.
Straight through flow path minimizes pressure drop
through full open swinging gate or rising stem (guillo-
tine action) bodies.
Page 6106 Maxon Valves
Valve Body Design Details
To provide seals in your process service lines, Maxon uses
two different styles of valve bodies:
Rising stem (guillotine action) bodies are frequently used
in normally closed and normally open gas valves. The micro-
lapped, spring loaded guillotine disc gets a pressure assist from
the flowing gases to seal against the downstream micro-lapped
metal seat ring. The carefully machined seal surfaces and
extremely close tolerances of the valve body operating mecha-
nism promote positive closing action. Frequent cycling action
constantly shears accumulated dirt or residue from the disc and
seat to insure instantaneous and reliable sealing.
The location of the port in the disc is the basic difference
between normally open and normally closed valve bodies. Both
valves function by the top assembly mechanism driving the stem
and disc down into the valve body, opening (or closing) the flow
path. Both valves trip to their rest position when their top
assembly's compression spring is released to pull the stem and
connected disc up out of the body.
Swinging gate bodies are frequently used in normally closed
oil valves and for some non-combustible gas applications. This
design provides the same seal capabilities, but in a slightly
different operating mode. The hard faced micro-lapped seat nut
is threaded into the one-piece valve body. The free-floating, hard
faced, spring loaded circular disc swings across the seat. Line
pressure also assists in sealing the disc to the downstream seat.
Here again, frequent use and cycling actually helps to keep
your valve clean. Since the free-floating disc is swinging across
the circular seat nut on the arc created by the disc carrier, the
disc rotates slightly on every cycle. This provides a fresh, clean
surface area for sealing off the flow lines.
Maxon valve bodies have special service trim options
available to meet your particular fluid service requirements.
Contact your Maxon representative for details.

Table 2: Normally open valve bodiesTable 1: Normally closed valve bodies
Each complete valve assembly must include one of
these valve bodies, regardless of ultimate series
designation.
Flows through the valve body and resulting pres-
sure drops may be estimated by inserting your
specific conditions into the following formula and
using Cv flow factors given for each valve body.
Gases: Q = (1360) x (Cv) x (P
1+P
2) (P
1–P
2)
G Tf
2
Liquids: V = (Cv) x (P
1–P
2)
Gf
Where:
G = Gas specific gravity (air = 1.0)
Gf
= Specific gravity @ flowing temperature °F
P1
= Inlet pressure PSIA (14.7 psi + psi gauge)
P2
= Outlet pressure PSIA (14.7 psi + psi gauge)
Q = Cubic feet per hour @ 14.7 PSIA and 60°F
Tf
= Flowing temperature absolute (460° + °F)
V = Flow in U.S. gallons/minute of water
x
NOTE: Typically, pressure drop for gas flows should notexceed 10% of inlet pressure; however, for 2" and smallervalves, the drop should not exceed 5 PSIG, and for 2.5" andlarger valves, must not exceed 2.5 PSIG.Select valve size on basis of the lower of these parametersto avoid critical flow conditions.

Valve Body Capacities
with #2 Oil
1/99
To select a valve for
YOUR application, use
either Cv factor calcula-
tions, or this graph
showing approximate
pressure drop at various
flows of #2 oil.
Typically, pressure
drop for fuel flows
should not exceed 10%
of inlet pressure.
For preheated #5 or #6 oil, multiply
the required flow rate in GPH by the
factor given in the table at right, then
select a valve based upon that
equivalent flow of #2 oil and the
allowable drop.
Oil Grade #5 #6
°F @ Inlet 125 160 120 140 180 210 220
Factor 1.43 1.11 2.86 2.00 1.25 1.11 1.05
For example: To size for 5 PSIG drop with a 3500 GPH flow of #6 oil
preheated to 140°F, the multiplier is 2. Equivalent flow of #2 oil is
then 3500 x 2, or 7000 GPH. Chart shows that a 5 PSIG drop will
require use of a valve body having a Cv factor of at least 45.

1" Series 760
Temperature LimitsAll of these valves can handle fluid temperatures from -20°F (-28°C) to
+250°F (+121°C). The Series 33000 valves are designed to handle higher
fluid temperatures up to +450°F (+232°C) and even up to +550°F (+288°C)
with addition (at extra charge) of special stem seals.
Ambient temperature limits vary. Any valve on this page using DC
voltage and all Series 8700 valves can handle ambient temperatures from
-20°F (-28°C) to +125°F (+52°C). The other valves on this page handle
ambient temperatures from -20°F (-28°C) to +140°F (+60°C).
OperationAll of these electro-mechanical valves require a constant supply of
electrical energy to their holding solenoids inside the top assembly actua-
tors. Once the solenoid is energized, the manual reset valve may be
opened manually, or the automatic reset valve will automatically open. Any
interruption of the electrical power to either of these valves causes an
immediate trip of the valve to its normally closed position.
