Series 240

Pneumatic Control Valve with safety function

Type 3241-1 and Type 3241-7
Typetested

Application
Control valves for water and steam; with safety function against
excess temperature or pressure in heating systems.
Nominal sizes DN 15 to DN 150
Nominal pressure PN 16 to PN 40
Temperatures Water and steam up to 350 °C

The typetested control valve consists of a Type 3241 Globe

Valve with:
• Type 3271 Pneumatic Actuator and a solenoid valve
(Type 3241-1 Control Valve)
• Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuator and a solenoid valve
(Type 3241-7 Control Valve)
Valve body manufactured of:
• Cast iron
• Spheroidal graphite iron
• Cast steel or cast stainless steel
• Forged steel or forged stainless steel
Undivided valve bonnet
Valve plug with metal sealing
The control valves are used for temperature control when con­
nected to a pneumatic or electric controller. Within the safety
circuits, the valve also assumes the function of a shut-off device,
which is triggered by the signal of a temperature or pressure
limitation device and upon air supply failure.
This control valves have been typetested by the German Techni­
cal Inspectorate TÜV in accordance with DIN EN 14597, which
defines them as a shut-off and control device. The standard ver­
sion is suitable for water and steam up to 220 °C and, when fit­
ted with an extension bonnet up to 350 °C at operating pres­
sures listed in Technical data (Table 1) and at a maximum per­
missible ambient temperature of 50 °C. In safety circuits, a
strainer (e.g. Type 2 NI according to Data Sheet T 1015 EN)
must be installed in the direction of flow upstream of the control

Control Valve with Type 3701 Solenoid Valve
The modular design of the control valves allows them to be
equipped with various accessories:
Positioners, limit switches according to IEC 60534-6 and
NAMUR recommendation. See Information Sheet T 8350 EN
for details. Additional versions with:

Principle of operation (Figs. 2 and 3)
In control operation, the signal pressure pst controlled either by
a temperature controller or positioner is applied to the actuator.
If the power fails or the safety limiting device interrupts the con­
trol current when the set temperature or pressure limits are ex­
ceeded, the solenoid valve switches back to the neutral position.
As a result, the supply pressure line is shut off, the actuator is
vented, and the opposing force of the actuator springs closes the
valve.

Register number
The Type 3241 Globe Valves have been typetested by the Ger­
man Technical Inspectorate TÜV in combination with the
Type 3271 and Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuators (register num­
ber available on request).
