Component Operation and Maintenance
46
Manual Flushing—The valve may be flushed by rotating the socket head screw clockwise. This
screw must be in the OUT position (counterclockwise) for normal valve operation.
Valve Disassembly
1. Shut off the water supply by using isolating valves.
2. Relieve the tension on the main spring by turning the adjusting screw (or collar) as far as it will
go (provide a container to catch water below the valve).
3. Remove four screws extending through the main spring housing.
4. Remove the center assembly screws for access to all internal parts.
5. Clean the seat if possible. If the seat is pitted or damaged, replace the valve rubber disc and valve
seat.
6. After valve is reassembled check for leaks.
7. Readjust head pressure control.
Testing Function of Valve—When the refrigeration system has been Off for approximately 10 to 15
minutes, the water flow should stop.
If the water continues to flow, the valve is either improperly adjusted (with head pressure too low) or
the pressure sensing capillary is not connected properly to the condenser.
7.4.10 Drycooler Settings
Applications with the Optional Stat Setting require field piping to be insulated to prevent condensa-
tion. Table 8 shows acceptable applications where stats must be adjusted to Optional Setting.
Aquastats must be field-adjusted to Optional Setting for:
GLYCOOL/Dual Cool applications
Single Drycooler loops with motor ball valve flow controls (motor ball valves are used on all Lie-
bert Challenger 3000 and ITR units with digital compressors).
