Type K1000
INTRODUCTION The K1000 or the K3000 are pilot-operated regulators, PS 25 bar, single-staged, high speed of responses, and stable pressure control. The K1000 or the K3000 includes a filter, a regulator and a slam shut valve. Its design allows a turbine meter to be mounted directly on the
outlet flange, a new slam shut technology, the OS2, and a Francel Piloting System. A noise attenuation permits theK1000 or the K3000 to be classified in the category of silent or low noise regulators. As an option is can be equipped with a blockage indicator without a connector.
14/06/2005
The K1000 or theK3000 is in conformity with the PED 97/23/EC and is classified in category IV.

OPERATION This regulator operates by admitting modulated pressure. Gas enters the regulator by the intlet flange (1), flows through the filter (2) inside which it reaches the slan shut valve (3). The gas then flows through the pilot relay which regulates outlet pressure. The different functions are carried out by the following: • Pressure regulation The K1000 or K3000 is an axial-flow pilot-operated regulator . The position of the valve depends on the flow rate and the pilot control of the modulated pressure .
O15
• Filtration The filter is directly incorporated inside the body of the K1000 or K3000. It is composed of a polyester filtering cartridge which assures, as much as possible, the protection of sensitive mechanical parts (slam shut valve, regulator valve, pilot, etc.). • Noise attenuation and flow straightening These are achieved by a slotted disc (4), different layers of porous materiels (mineral foam and synthetic fibers) and a flow straightener (5). This technic allows a turbine meter to be connected on the outlet side of the K1000 or the K3000, without using an intermediate straight line of pipe • Slam shut The slam shut is situated on the downstream side of the K1000 or the K3000, where the gas is hot, to avoide the valve from freezing. Once the set pressure level is reached, the mechanism box (6) releases the valve, which then blocks the gas passage. Balancing the pressure and resetting the valve is actioned by the resetting lever (7) (incorporated bypass).
O16
• Pilot system The K1000 or the K3000 pilot allows the valve-pipe (8) ot be positioned according to the flow required. It consists of three parts: - a pre-pilot relay (9): assures a stable pressure level (Pd) superior to the outlet pressure, - a pilot part (10): using the modulated pressure (Pm) the valve-tube is positioned depending on the outlet pressure,
- a pilot body (11): containing the two pilot blocks (12) and the pre-expansion and pilot manometric boxes. Different types of manometric boxes exist depending on the outlet pressure. 4

The regulator is installed on the bottom left pipe line angle. Installation according to EN12186 is recommended. Install according to the direction of the fluid flow (arrow). When assembling with adjacent elements care must be taken not to create pressure force on the body and the assembling elements (bolts, O-rings, flanges) should be compatible with the geometry and working conditions of the equipment. Connect the long pilot impulse line (IP) at 4D on the straight run of the outlet pipe. The slam shut impulse lines (IS) and reject pilot (RP) are connected in series. A turbine meter can be directly connected to the K1000 or the K3000 (Figure 1). The K1000 or the K3000 contain an internal filtering cartridge, an additional filter on the outlet side in not necessary. If the remote alert option is chosen, electrically connect the contact (see NTAOS2 manual). No modification should be made to the structure of the equipment (drilling, grinding, soldering...). 5
W A R N IN G
•
It is recommended to install a servicing valve on the outlet pipeline to facilitate adjustments and bleeding off to the atmosphere.
•
Verify that the inlet side is protected by an appropriate device(s) to avoid exceeding the limits of utilization (PS, TS).
•
Verify that the limits of utilization correspond to the appropriate operating conditions.
•
Verify that the safety manometric box (BMS) and spring correspond to the appropriate operating conditions on the outlet side of the regulator.
•
The equipment should not receive any type of shock, especially the release relay.
•
Fire, seismic and lightening are not taken into consideration for standard regulators. If required, a special product selection and/or specific calculations may be supplied according to specific requirements.
•
The user should verify or carry out a protection adapted to the environment.
