Safety shut-off valve RMG 703 / RMG 704 3. Design and operation The safety shut-off valves RMG 703/704 are designed to automatically shut off the flow in gas pressure control systems when the pressure in the system to be protected reaches an upper (overpressure) or lower (underpressure) response pressure value. The double safety shut-off device RMG 703 consists of two independently operating functional assemblies. This fulfils the requirements of DVGW work sheet 491 that gas pressure control systems with a pressure relation p emax - p azul > 16 bar and pemax/pazul > 1,6 must have two independently operating SAVs installed. The design of the safety shut-off valve RMG 704 is similar to the SAV RMG 703, except that it is designed as single SAV. The safety shut-off valves RMG 703/704 consist mainly of the components main valve body, switching gear, control unit and bypass valve. Both devices are constructed particularly maintenance-friendly. Each functional assembly can be removed by unscrewing whilst the main valve body remains in the line.

Operation with control unit RMG 673 (K 1a, K 2a) The pressure to be monitored is applied to the compensating diaphragm in the control unit and compared with the reference values provided by the setpoint spring (response pressure setpoint). Upon reaching the response pressure setpoint by way of overpressure or underpressure, the compensating diaphragm and the engaging mechanism of the switchgear are in the disengaged position and release the locking mechanism. The spring of the actuator then closes the shut-off valve.

Note: Opening the main valve and locking the valve stem is only possible by hand after the outlet pressure at the measuring location is below (after release pmax) or above (after release pmin- ) the re-engagement difference.

Safety shut-off valve RMG 703 / RMG 704 Operation with control unit RMG 670/671 (K16, K17, K 18) The pressure of the system to be protected is directed via a measuring line on top of the sensitive double diaphragm system and compared with the reference values given by the setpoint adjustment screw (setpoint spring force). Under normal operating conditions the amplifier valve remains closed. Should the upper response pressure for RMG 670 or the lower response pressure for RMG 671 be reached, the amplifier valve opens. Gas will flow from the system to be monitored into the pressure/force transducer. The piston in the pressure/force transducer moves and actuates the switchgear of the SAV via the piston rod, thus closing the safety shut-off valve. Once the cause for the release of the SAV has been removed and the monitored pressure is again below the preset setpoint (for overpressure release with RMG 670) or above (for underpressure release with RMG 671), the amplifier valve closes. The pressure at the piston of the main valve dissipates via the throttle integrated in the control unit, and the safety shut-off valve can be opened again. The control unit RMG 670 also meets the requirement that the safety shut-off valve must release when the measuring diaphragm breaks. The monitored outlet pressure is present at the upper side of the double diaphragm system. Should this upper diaphragm of the double diaphragm system be faulty, the outlet pressure will be directed directly to the pressure/force transducer and cause the SAV to release.
