ABV21i and ABV40i

Air Actuated Boiler Blowdown Valves

Description

The Spirax Sarco ABV21i and ABV40i one piece end entry, reduced bore ball valves are fitted with 90° rotary spring return pneumatic

actuator, for boiler blowdown duties.

They are used in conjunction with a Spirax Sarco blowdown timer to provide timed control of bottom blowdown, ensuring that the

recommended boiler blowdown cycles occur with minimum heat loss, avoiding duplication or omission.

The pneumatic actuator, (which can also be operated with other non-corrosive gases), moves through 90° to open the valve, and has

a spring return fail-close operation.

A switch box is mounted on the actuator, and either or both microswitches may be wired to a Building Management System if required.

Note: The BT1050 blowdown timer uses one switch only to indicate 'valve fully closed' or 'valve not fully closed' positions, and does

not indicate that the valve has opened fully.

A solenoid valve is required, which may be directly mounted to the NAMUR

(VDI / VDE 3845) interface on the actuator.

A suitable solenoid valve may be selected from the Spirax Sarco MV range.

Alternatively, an air supply may be connected directly to the actuator port

'A' (1⁄4" BSP), where it is necessary to install the solenoid valve remote from

the actuator.

A standard 1⁄4" BSP 3-way solenoid valve may also be used.

3-port / 2-way NAMUR mounting solenoid types:

MV11 - 230 Vac, MV12 - 110 Vac, MV13 - 24 Vac, MV14 - 24 Vdc

The ABV21i and ABV40i must be installed with the flow in the direction of

the arrow on the body.

Principal features:

-

Automatic timed blowdown minimises wasted heat.

-

Suitable for boiler pressures up to 17.25 bar g.

-

Spring return for fail-safe operation.

-

Pneumatic actuator for fast response.
