BBV Automatic or Manually Actuated Boiler Blowdown Valves

Safe operation of these products can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed, commissioned,

used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11) in compliance with the operating

instructions. General installation and safety instructions for pipeline and plant construction, as well

as the proper use of tools and safety equipment must also be complied with.

Safety note - PTFE handling precautions

Within its working temperature range PTFE is a completely inert material, but when heated

to its sintering temperature it gives rise to gaseous decomposition products or fumes

which can produce unpleasant effects if inhaled. The inhalation of these fumes is easily

prevented by applying local exhaust ventilation to atmosphere as near to their source as

possible.

Smoking should be prohibited in workshops where PTFE is handled because tobacco

contaminated with PTFE will during burning give rise to polymer fumes. It is therefore

important to avoid contamination of clothing, especially the pockets, with PTFE and to

maintain a reasonable standard or personal cleanliness by washing hands and removing

any PTFE particles lodged under the fingernails.

WARNING:

This product should only be used to purge boiler water containing non-metallic sludge

and sediment within the pressure and temperature limits.

For optimum performance, ensure that TDS value is in accordance with the boiler's

instructions.

In the event that lever fails to return to the closed position, do not turn the actuator and

refer to the maintenance instructions.

If the actuator is turned, the plug will not close properly in the seat and the valve will leak.

The product guarantee invalid if it is dis-assembled before returning.

1.3 Lighting

Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.

1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline

Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some previous time.

Consider: flammable materials, substances hazardous to health, extremes of temperature.

1.5 Hazardous environment around the product

Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dangerous gases, extremes of

temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard (e.g. during welding), excessive noise, moving machinery.

1.6 The system

Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g. closing

isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk?

Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of

controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system

shocks.

1.7 Pressure systems

Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider double

isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do not assume

that the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero.

1.8 Temperature

Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid the danger of burns and consider

whether protective clothing (including safety glasses) is required.

PTFE SEALS

If seals made from PTFE have been subjected to a temperature approaching 260 °C (500 °F) or

higher, they will give off toxic fumes, which if inhaled are likely to cause temporary discomfort. It

is essential for a no smoking rule to be enforced in all areas where PTFE is stored, handled or

processed as persons inhaling the fumes from burning tobacco contaminated with PTFE particles

can develop 'polymer fume fever'.

IM-P405-54 EMM Issue 4

BBV Automatic or Manually Actuated Boiler Blowdown Valves

1.9 Tools and consumables

Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or consumables available. Use only

genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts.

1.10 Protective clothing

Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against

the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and

dangers to eyes and face.

1.11 Permits to work

All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person.Installation and

operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according to the Installation

and Maintenance Instructions.

Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied with. Where there is no such

system, it is recommended that a responsible person should know what work is going on and,

where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose primary responsibility is safety. Post ‘warning

notices’ if necessary.

1.12 Handling

Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing,

pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the back.

You are advised to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the

working environment and use the appropriate handling method depending on the circumstances

of the work being done.

1.13 Residual hazards

In normal use the external surface of the product may be very hot. If used at the maximum

permitted operating conditions the surface temperature of some products may reach temperatures

of 538 °C (1000 °F).

Many products are not self-draining. Take due care when dismantling or removing the product from

an installation (refer to 'Maintenance instructions').

1.14 Freezing

Provision must be made to protect products which are not self-draining against frost damage in

environments where they may be exposed to temperatures below freezing point.

1.15 Disposal

Unless otherwise stated in the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, this product is recyclable

and no ecological hazard is anticipated with its disposal providing due care is taken. However, if

the valve is fitted with a Viton or PTFE seat, special care must be taken to avoid potential health

hazards associated with decomposition/burning of these seats.

PTFE:

- Can only be disposed of by approved methods, not incineration.

- Keep PTFE waste in a separate container, do not mix it with other rubbish, and consign it to a

landfill site.

2.1 General description

The BBV is specifically designed for the removal of suspended/deposited solids and water from the bottom

of steam boilers.

The BBV is available in air-actuated and manual versions. The air-actuated version is supplied with a manual

hand lever. The valve is spring-to-close on power failure and the manual version 'M' can easily be upgraded

to an automatic version 'PN/M'.

When used with a Spirax Sarco blowdown controller the automatic version provides timed control of blowdown,

ensuring that the recommended blowdown occurs with the minimum of heat loss and avoids duplication and

omissions.

The valve can be fitted with a mechanical switchbox. This can be linked to the blowdown controller or a

BMS system to indicate when the valve has not closed. An optional ¼" 3-way solenoid valve may be directly

mounted on the side of the actuator.
