Gas powered stop valves, type GPLX 80 - 150

Introduction

GPLX are automatic two step on/o normally closed (NC) valves. They are designed for hot gas defrosting, suction lines and other applications. The valves have a built-in pressure equalising system preventing pressure shock and therefore eliminating the need for external bypass with resultant cost savings. GPLX are angle valves with weld connections.

Features

Applicable to all common non ammable refrigerants including R 717 and non corrosive gases/liquids dependent on sealing material compatibility. Built-in pressure equalising system for prevention of pressure shock - no external bypass required. Angle valves with weld connections. 60/+150C (76/+302F). Housing and bonnet made from low temperature steel according to requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive and other international classication authorities. Each valve is clearly marked with type, size and performance range. Stainless steel bolts. Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) The GPLX valves are approved and CE-marked in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive - 97/23/CE. For further details / restrictions - see Installation Instruction.

Max. operating pressure 40 bar g (580 psi g). Valves for higher operating pressure available on request. The valve cone has two teon tightening rings with built-in metallic stops to prevent damage to the teon rings in case of extreme pressure dierence. Classication: To receive an updated list of certication on the products please contact your local Danfoss Sales Company.

Design (See gure 1)

Standard sizes DN 80 - 150 (3 in. - 6 in.) GPLX are equipped with an extension on the top of the actuator (1) for manual opening of the valve. Connections Available with the following connections: Butt weld DIN (2448) Butt weld ANSI (B 36.10, schedule 40). Housing and bonnet Made of special cold resistant steel approved for low temperature operation.

Cone (10) The valve cone has two teon tightening rings (2 & 3), both with built-in metallic stops to prevent damage to the teon rings in case of an extreme pressure dierence.
Spindle (1) Made of gas-tempered steel; consequently the valve spindle has an extremely hard and smooth surface. Packing Glands GPLX has no external packing glands. Internally, the valve is equipped with three packing glands of the O-ring type: One between the valve housing and the lower actuator chamber (4) and two between the lower and upper actuator chamber (5 & 6).

Actuator The GPLX actuator has two chambers (A & B) separated by a piston (7). The upper compartment has two springs. The inner spring (8) provides the second stage opening. The function of the outer spring (9) is to close the inner teon ring (3) of the valve cone. The outer spring also serves to force any possible condensate out of the lower actuator chamber, through the pilot valve assembly into the upper actuator chamber and from there into the suction side of the system. The lower chamber (B) of the actuator is connected to the hot gas supply (P2), which must be activated during the period when the main valve is open. Installation The actuator has one threaded (G 1/4 in.) connection for mounting of the pilot valve. Fittings for connection of steel pipe DN 8 (do/di = 10/8 mm) by means of cutting rings or welding nipples are supplied. The installation of a FIL 6 lter accessory in the pilot line is recommended. The valve is designed to resist very high internal pressure, but as to the pipe system in general, hydraulic pressure caused by thermal expansions in entrapped refrigerants should be avoided. For further information please refer to GPLX installation instruction.

Function (See gure 1 and 2)

The GPLX valve is of the Normally Closed-type (NC), i.e. in an unloaded condition the valve will always be closed. When the valve is closed, the channel through the spindle (1) is open so that the low pressure (P0) will travel up through the channel to the top of the piston (7). The valve remains closed due to the force of the outer spring (9). Furthermore, the pressure dierence across the valve cone (10) (P1 > P0) will increase the closing force of the valve. The valve is opened by allowing hot gas (P2) into the chamber below the piston (7) by the EVRB pilot valve assembly, NC. When the hot gas pressure (P2) below the piston (7) has reached a level where it is able to overcome both the outer spring and the pressure dierence across the valve cone (10) (P1 - P0), the spindle (1) will begin to move upwards against the spring force on the top of the piston (7), and the inner pilot seat (3) will open (stage 1). If the hot gas pressure P2 increases, it has no inuence on stage 2 pressure dierence, because this pressure will only force the piston to move upwards and thereby compress both the outer and inner springs (8 & 9) and not allow stage 2 opening before the pressure dierence P1-P0 is 1.5 bar. The reason for this is that the force for opening stage 2 comes from the compressed inner spring (9) and not P2.

When the inner pilot seat (3) is opened, the main valve pressure will begin to equalise (P1 will be equalised to P0), and furthermore, the channel through the spindle will feed the pressure P1 to the top of the piston. When the pressure equalisation across the valve seat is sucient, the inner spring will be able to fully open the valve (stage 2). The valve is closed by releasing the hot gas pressure from the chamber below the piston (7) and at the same time connecting it with the suction side P0. Then the force from the outer spring will close the valve. To ensure smooth operation of the GPLX valve the following rules must be adhered to: P2 P0 + 3 bar g (43.5 p sig) and P2 P1 and P1 25 bar g (363 p sig) P1 - P0 20 bar g (290.1 psi g)

Hot Gas Defrosting Pump circulation systems (ooded evaporators)

It is recommended to start the defrosting cycle by closing the EVRA valve in the liquid supply line and allowing some of the cold liquid contained in the evaporator to return to the liquid separator. Close the GPLX valve in the wet suction line (ooded return line) and after a delay open the solenoid valve in the hot gas supply in order to build up the defrosting pressure in the evaporator. Whenever a GPLX is installed in a liquid line, build-up of hydraulic pressure must be avoided.

After defrosting, the GPLX should be opened to allow the evaporator pressure to equalise with the suction side before opening the EVRA in the liquid supply line. GPLX valves are designed to allow the equalisation of pressures between evaporator pressure and system suction pressure, which eliminates the need to install an external by-pass around the GPLX valve.
