Pressure controls, Type RT

RT Pressure Controls incorporate a pressure controlled, single-pole change over swich where the contact position depends on the pressure in the connection port and the set value. The RT series consists of pressure controls, differential pressure controls and pressure controls for neutral zone regulation, all for general use within the industrial and marine segments. The series also covers safety pressure controls dedicated for steam boiler plants. For installations in which operation is particularly critical from safety and economic points of view, the use of fail-safe pressure controls is recommended. The use of gold-plated contacts is also recommended in such installations, provided operation involves only a few switching cycles or signal currents and voltages.

Example 1 An extra cooling water pump must start if the cooling water pressure falls below 6 bar, and must stop when the pressure exceeds 7 bar. Choose an RT 116 with a range of 1-10 bar and an adjustable differential of 0.2-1.3 bar. The start pressure of 6 bar must be set on the range scale. The differential must be set as the difference between the stop pressure (7 bar) and the start pressure (6 bar) = 1 bar. According to fig. 3, the differential setting disc must be set on 8. Example 2 The burner on a steam boiler must cut out when the pressure exceeds 17 bar. Automatic restart must not occur. Choose an RT 19B with external reset. If extra safety is demanded, an RT 19S with internal max. reset can be used.

The range is 5-25 bar and the differential is fixed at approx. 1 bar. The range scale must be set at 17 bar. After cut-out of the burner, manual reset is possible only when the pressure had fallen to the setting of 17 bar minus the differential: in this case, 16 bar and below. Example 3 The min. permissible lubricating oil pressure for a gear is 3 bar. Reset must not be possible until the reason for oil pressure failure has been investigated. Choose an RT 200 with min. reset. The range value must be set while reading the range scale. Manual reset is possible only when the pressure has reached 3.2 bar (the differential is fixed at 0.2 bar or higher).

Technical brochure Functional description of RT units with fail-safe design

Pressure controls, type RT Fail-safe function for falling pressure Fig. 5a shows a cross-section of a bellows element for the RT 32W with fail-safe function for falling pressure. On rising pressure the contact arm is actuated to break the connection between terminals 1 and 2. On falling pressure the contact arm is actuated to break the connection between terminals 1 and 4. If a defect occurs in the bellows the setting spring actuates the contact arm to break the connection between terminals 1 and 4, as in the case of falling pressure. This will occur irrespective of the pressure on the bellows. Fail-safe function for rising pressure Fig. 5b shows a cross-section through a bellows element for the RT 30W with fail-safe for rising pressure. On rising pressure the contact arm is actuated to break the connection between terminals 1 and 2 . If a defect occurs in the inner bellows the pressure is led to the outer bellows. The outer bellows has an area three times as large as the inner bellows. The connection between terminals 1 and 2 becomes broken. If a defect occurs in the outer bellows, there will be atmospheric pressure in the gap between the two bellows. This actuates the contact system to break the connection between terminals 1 and 2. The important factor with the double bellows design is the vacuum between the two bellows, and that in case of bellows break, no media will leak into the environment.

Pressure switches for liquid level control RT 113

The RT 113 pressure switch can be used to control the liquid level in open tanks. Fig. 6 shows in principle, four different types of installation. 1. With air bell (see Accessories) For control purpose, the air bell should be installed 20 to 40 mm below the lowest liquid level. In addition, the tube between the RT 113 and the air bell must be absolutely airtight. If only an indication is required, the bell can be placed 100 mm below the max. level. The RT 113 must be set at 0 cm wg and the differential disc on 1. 2. Connection to the side of the tank with the RT 113 above the liquid level The horizontal tube A must have a certain length in relation to the vertical tube B in order to ensure reliable control. The length ofA can be found from fig. 7, using B and the range setting pressure C.

3. Connection to the side of the tank with the RT 113 below the liquid level Where possible, this form of connection should be used. If an air-absorbing liquid like oil is involved, it is preferable to 1 and 2. The resulting range setting is the distance from the liquid surface to the centre of the diaphragm housing. 4. Connection in the tank with the RT 113 above the liquid level This method is for use with air-absorbing liquids where connection type 3 is not possible. The shortest horizontal tube length is determined as described in 2. A shut-off valve is installed between the oil tank and water reservoir shown so that impurities can be drained from the water reservoir through a bottom drain plug. Fresh water can then be poured into the reservoir through a filling connector in its top.

Application

RT-L pressure switches are fitted with a switch with an adjustable neutral zone. This enables the units to be used for floating control. The terminology involved is explained below. Floating control A form of discontinuous control where the correcting element (e.g. valve, damper, or similar) moves towards one extreme position at a rate independent of the magnitude of the error when the error exceeds a definit positive value, and towards the opposite extreme position when the error exceeds a definite negative value. Hunting Periodic variations of the controlled variable from the fixed reference. Neutral zone The interval in the controlled variable in which the correcting element does not respond (see fig. 13). The contact system in neutral zone units cannot be exchanged, as the contact system adjustment is adjusted to the other parts of the unit.

Technical brochure Setting of neutral zone

Pressure controls, type RT The range is set using the setting knob (5) fig. 8 while reading the range scale (9). The pressure set is the break pressure for contacts 1-4 (see fig. 13). The required neutral zone can be found in the diagram for the unit concerned. The position at which the neutral zone disc (40) must be set can be read from the lower scale in the diagram. The function can be seen in fig. 13.

Range setting Inlet pressure Differential (mechanical differential) corresponds to the least neutral zone setting. a: The neutral zone.Inlet pressure may vary within this interval without resulting in a make function 1-2 or 1-4. Fig. 13

Example Together with a VLT static frequency converter, RT 200L neutral zone pressure switches can be used for the infinite control of a pump in, for example, a pressure boosting plant. In this case, the pump must be up and downregulated at 32 and 25 m wg. The RT 200L must be set using the setting knob (5) fig. 8 page 9 at 3.5 bar (35 m wg) minus the fixed differential of 0.2 bar. The range setting is 3.5 - 0.2 = 3.3 bar. The neutral zone, 35 - 32 = 3 m wg, corresponding to 0.3 bar, must be set on the neutral zone disc (40) fig. 8 page 9. According to the diagram fig. 12 the disc setting is 1 or just over. A more accurate setting can be obtained by using the test setup shown in fig. 14.

Technical brochure Application

Pressure controls, type RT Control and monitoring of pressure differentials A differential pressure control is a pressure controlled switch that cuts in and cuts out the current dependent on the pressure differential between the counteracting bellows elements and the set scale value. This unit is also available with an adjustable neutral zone (like the RT-L which is described on page 9.

Setting

The setting disc (5) becomes accessible when the front cover is removed. The differential pressure is set by turning the disc with a screwdriver while reading the scale (9). For differential pressure switches with a changeover contact system, the contact differential is given as the differential pressure switches have a fixed differential. In units with an adjustable neutral zone, the neutral zone disc must also be set. See diagram in fig. 16.

Contacts 1-2 break again and contacts 1-4 make when the differential pressure has risen to the set range value plus the fixed contact differential. I. Contacts make when differential pressure falls below the range scale setting. II. Contacts make when pressure rises above the range scale setting plus the fixed mechanical differential.

Fig. 17 Contact function, setting of falling differential pressure

b. Units with adjustable neutral zone (SPDTNP) If the differential pressure rises above the set value plus the differential, contacts 1-4 make. If the pressure falls by the amount of the differential (which is fixed in this unit), contacts 1-4 break. If the pressure falls to the neutral zone minus the differential, contacts 1-2 make. When the differential pressure rises again by an amount corresponding to the differential, contacts 1-2 break again.

The contact function can be summed up as follows: I. Setting disc set for falling differential pressure. II. Neutral zone disc set for rising differential pressure.

Range setting Inlet pressure Mechanical differential Differential (mechanical differential) corresponds to the least neutral zone setting.

a: The neutral zone and inlet differential pressure may vary within this interval without resulting in a make function 1-2 or 1-4.

Fig. 18. Contact function, setting of neutral zone

Example 1 When the differential pressure exceeds 1.3 bar, a filter needs cleaning. The static pressure over the filter is 10 bar. According to the ordering table on page 4, the choice is an RT 260A (the RT 262A has a max. operating pressure on the low pressure side (LP) of 6 bar and is therefore not suitable for this application). Setting: Since a signal is required for rising differential pressure, the setting becomes 1.3-0.3 bar = 1.0 bar.
IC.PD.P10.B5.02 / 520B4713

Example 2 The speed of a circulation pump must be controlled to give a constant differential pressure of 10 m wg in a heating plant. The static plant pressure is 4 bar. The choice is an RT 262AL. The differential disc (5) fig. 15 page 13, must be set at 1 bar (10 m wg) minus the fixed differential of 0.1 bar, i.e. 0.9 bar. The neutral zone disc is factory-set (marked in red).

) At load types with low currents/voltages contact failure may occure on the silver contacts because of oxidation. In systems where such a contact failure is of great importance (alarm etc.), gold plated contacts are recommended.

Contact systems for neutral zone units are not available as spare parts. Exchange not possible, as the contact system adjustment is adjusted to the other parts of the unit.

The switch contacts are shown in the position they assume on falling pressure/temperature, i.e. after downward movement of the RT main spindle. The setting pointer of the control shows the scale value at which contact changeover occurs on falling pressure/temperature. An exception is switch no. 017-403066 with max. reset where the setting pointer shows the scale value at which contact changeover occurs on rising pressure.

Technical brochure Installation

Pressure controls, type RT RT units have two mounting holes which become accessible when the front cover is removed. Units fitted with switch 017-018166*) must be installed with the setting knob upwards. When installing differential pressure switches, the low pressure side (marked LP) must be installed upwards. The other pressure switches in the RT series can be installed in any position, expect that on plant subjected to severe vibrations it is advantageous to have the screwed cable entry downwards. *) Contact system with snap-action contact. See spare parts and accessories, page 13. Pressure connection When fitting or removing pressure lines, the spanner flats on the pressure connection should be used to apply counter-torque. Steam plant To protect the pressure element against temperature in excess to the maximum temperature of the medium 150C (RT 113 90C), the insertion of water-filled loop is recommended. Water systems Water in the pressure element is not harmful, but if frost is likely to occur a water-filled pressure element may burst. To prevent this happening, the pressure control can be allowed to operate on an air cushion. Media resistance See table of materials in contact with the medium. If seawater is involved, diaphragm pressure switches types KPS 43, 45 and 47 are recommended. Pulsations The pressure control must be connected in such a way that the pressure element is affected by pulsations as little as possible. A damping coil can be inserted (see Accessories). With strongly pulsating media, diaphragm pressure switches types KPS 43, 45 and 47 can be advantageous.

Setting The range is set by using the setting knob (5) while at the same time reading the scale (9). Tools must be used to set pressure switches fitted with a seal cap. In units having a fixed differential, the difference between cut-in and cut-out pressures is of course determined. On units having an adjustable differential the front cover must be removed. The differential disc (19) must be set in accordance with the diaphragm.

Selection of differential To ensure that the plant functions properly, a suitable differential pressure is necessary. Too small a differential will give rise to short running periods with a risk of hunting. Too high a differential will result in large pressure oscillations.

Differential scale values are guiding
