Valve Manifold Assembly/Disassembly
Abstract:
The P17453 Valve Manifold replicates the geometry found on the Dresser-Rand ESH-1 reciprocating compressor. It is responsible for housing the poppet valves and the pneumatic channels for airflow through the system. The primary assembly components are the nuts and O-rings responsible for an air tight seal.
Tools Required: 3/8 Deep Socket and Torque Wrench
Assemble the desired combination of poppets and springs in the Valve Housing [2] ensuring the springs are properly seated.
With inner O-ring [5] seated in the Valve Seat Block [1] O-ring gland, locate the dowel pin holes on the Valve Seat Block [1] and slide the Valve Housing [2] over the assembly studs ensuring correct orientation and alignment of the pressed in dowel pins of the Valve Housing [2] to the dowel pin holes.
With the outer O-ring [5] seated in the Collector [6] O-ring gland, slide the Collector [6] over the assembly studs the same as before.
Ensure both O-rings [5] are properly seated and aligned in BOTH of their respective glands. Press the Collector [6] against the Valve Housing [2] to engage both O-rings [5] in their respective glands and both dowel pins in their respective holes.
While holding the Collector [6] in place, install the four Washers [7] and 3/8-24 Nuts [8] on each assembly stud hand tight then release hold on the Collector [6]
Using a 3/8 Deep Socket Wrench, tighten the four nuts to 10 ft-lbs
Insert the Back Pressure Tank Quick Release Air hose fitting into the Collector [6] end.
Attach accelerometer cables to their respective sensor.
