Features

●Moderately price:

Optimized flow rates mean smaller ball valves can be selected. Low torque means you

can combine them with small, less expensive rotary actuators.

●Long life expectancy:

Maintenance-free construction, also thanks to low friction stem and polished ball made of

chrome-plated DZR brass.

●Simple mounting:

The brackets, premounted on the actuators, means you can mount them on the ball

valves without tools.

entire positioning range of the ball valve rotary actuator unit; if low noise

operation is desired, we recommend a maximum permissible differential

pressure of 200 kPa

Cavitation

Cavitation increases wear and tear of the ball and seat and results in unwanted noise.

Cavitation can be prevented by not exceeding the differential pressures as per the flow

diagram and maintaining the static pressures depicted below.

Δpmax

Differential pressure at a nearly closed ball valve

to largely avoid cavitation

Static pressure at the ball valve inlet

Static pressure at the ball valve outlet

Pump

Water temperature

Example with hot water:

Pressure p1at ball valve inlet: 500 kPa (5 bar)

Water temperature: 120 °C

The above diagram clearly indicates that the maximum permissible differential pressure is

Δpmax → 200 kPa (2 bar) at a nearly closed ball valve.

Note on chilled water applications

To prevent cavitation in chilled water circuits, sufficient counter pressure must be supplied to

the ball valve outlet, e.g. using an additional butterfly valve downstream of the ball valve.

Maximum permissible differential pressure over the ball valve: See 80 °C curve in the above

diagram.

Delivery

Ball valves, rotary actuators, and mounting kits are not assembled and are delivered in

individual packaging.

Applications with auxiliary functions

A standard actuator with corresponding functionality can be used if a ball valve application

requires a rotary actuator with auxiliary functions (e.g. auxiliary switch or potentiometer). In

this case, mounting kit ASK77.x is required in addition to the rotary actuator.

Follow the mounting instructions when mounting.

Notes

Safety

DANGER

There is a risk to operating personnel and device when working on the unit

Failure to comply with these safety notes can result in personal injury and damage to

property from pipe pressure, electrical voltage, or device in operation.

Note the following when servicing a ball valve/rotary actuator:

●Switch off both pump and operating voltage.

●Close shutoff valves.

●Release pressure in the pipes and allow them to cool down completely.

●Disconnect electrical connections from the terminals as needed.

●The rotary actuator must be properly installed prior to recommissioning the ball valve.

CAUTION

National safety regulations

Failure to comply with national safety regulations may result in personal injury and property

damage.

●Observe national provisions and comply with the appropriate safety regulations.

Engineering

We recommend installing the ball valve with spring return since temperatures are lower on

heating plants which increases the lifespan of the sealing gland on the stem.

Ensure there is no cavitation (see Section Technical design [➙2]).

A filter must be installed upstream of the ball valve to increase functional safety.

Permissible media

Using the ball valve together with potassium formate-based media can result in leakage over

the stem to the outside. The reason is the high level of penetration at low surface tension of

media based on potassium formate.

Siemens rejects any and all liability for damages or consequential damages resulting from

the use of this media together with our ball valves.

Mounting

It is easy to assemble the ball valve and rotary actuator; it can be done at the construction

site. No special tools or settings required.

Ball valve VAI60.. / VBI60.. is supplied together with mounting instructions M4213

(74°319°0883°0).

Mounting position

VAI60..

VBI60..

Pipe connection

Avoid leakage:

●Install fittings as per ISO 7-1. Ball valves (internal threading) = "Rp";

Piping (external threading) = "R".

●Do not use too much hemp or PTFE tape.

●Do not tighten pipe threading to the very end.

●Place the pliers/wrench on the ball valve union nut that is closer to the pipe to be

tightened or loosened.

Make sure that the valve is mounted in the proper flow direction. A symbol is applied to the
