DESCRIPTION

The Cla-Val Model CRD Pressure Reducing Control automatically reduces

a higher inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure. It is a direct acting,

spring loaded, diaphragm type control that operates hydraulically or pneu-

matically. It may be used as a self-contained valve or as a pilot control for

a Cla-Val main valve. It will hold a constant downstream pressure within

very close pressure limits.

OPERATION

The CRD Pressure Reducing Control is normally held open by the force of

the compression spring above the diaphragm; and delivery pressure acts

on the underside of the diaphragm. Flow through the valve responds to

changes in downstream demand to maintain a pressure.

INSTALLATION

The CRD Pressure Reducing Control may be installed in any position.

There is one inlet port and two outlets, for either straight or angle installa-

tion. The second outlet port can be used for a gage connection. A flow

arrow is marked on the body casting.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

The CRD Pressure Reducing Control can be adjusted to provide a deliv-

ery pressure range as specified on the nameplate.

Pressure adjustment is made by turning the adjustment screw to vary the

spring pressure on the diaphragm. The greater the compression on the

spring the higher the pressure setting.

1. Turn the adjustment screw in (clockwise) to increase

delivery pressure.

2. Turn the adjustment screw out (counter-clockwise) to

decrease the delivery pressure.

3. When pressure adjustment is completed tighten jam nut on

adjusting screw and replace protective cap.

4. When this control is used, as a pilot control on a

Cla-Val main valve, the adjustment should be made

under flowing conditions. The flow rate is not critical,

but generally should be somewhat lower than normal

in order to provide an inlet pressure several psi higher

than the desired setting

MAINTENANCE

Disassembly

To disassemble follow the sequence of the item numbers assigned to

parts in the sectional illustration.

Reassembly

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Caution must be taken to

avoid having the yoke (17) drag on the inlet nozzle of the body (18).

Follow this procedure:

1. Place yoke (17) in body and screw the disc retainer

assembly (16) until it bottoms.

2. Install gasket (14) and spring (19) for 2-30 and 2-6.5 psi

range onto plug (13) and fasten into body. Disc retainer

must enter guide hole in plug as it is assembled. Screw

the plug in by hand. Use wrench to tighten only.

3. Place diaphragm (12) diaphragm washer (11) and belleville

washer (20) on yoke. Screw on hex nut (10).

4. Hold the diaphragm so that the screw holes in the

diaphragm and body align. Tighten diaphragm nut with

a wrench. At the final tightening release the diaphragm

and permit it to rotate 5° to 10°. The diaphragm holes

should now be properly aligned with the body holes.

To check for proper alignment proceed as follows:

Rotate diaphragm clockwise and counterclockwise as far as possible.

Diaphragm screw holes should rotate equal distance on either side of

body screw holes ±1/8".

Repeat assembly procedure until diaphragm and yoke are properly

aligned. There must be no contact between yoke and body nozzle

during its normal movement. To simulate this movement hold body

and diaphragm holes aligned. Move yoke to open and closed posi-

tions. There must be no evidence of contact or dragging.

5. Install spring (9) with spring guide (8).

6. Install cover (5), adjusting screw (2) and nut (3), then cap (1).
