Description

All Siemens SKP55 and SKP75 Series Electro-hydraulic actuators can be used in combination with any VG Series gas valve.  In addition they provide safety shut‐off control for industrial and commercial burner applications.

Safety Shut-off function:
The electro‐hydraulic actuator consists of a cylinder filled with oil, a piston containing an electric oscillating pump, and a relief system.  When power is on to the actuator, the relief system closes, and the pump moves oil from the reservoir into the pressure chamber.  This action causes the piston to move downward in the cylinder, opening the gas valve.  Moreover, when power interrupts to the actuator, the relief system opens and the gas valve closes in less than 0.8 seconds.

A position indicator:

It is visible through the transparent window of the terminal box cover, shows the entire possible stroke range of the actuator.  A light, which is visible through the lower left transparent window of the terminal box cover, indicates when the actuator receives power.  An optional, non‐ adjustable Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) proof of closure over travel switch signals the closed position after the gas valve is in the close position.  An optional SPDT auxiliary switch is adjustable between 40% and 100% of the stroke.  The adjustment screw and scale are located on the right side in the terminal box, and are visible through the transparent window of the terminal box cover.

The sealing gasket:

Place the AGA66 between the actuator and the gas valve.  In summary, this provides NEMA 3, 3R, and 4 protection rating for VGG10.xxxU / VGDxx.xxxU / VRD40.xxxU valves.

The SKP55.xxxUx actuator:

The SKP55 actuator controls the pressure difference across a restriction in the gas supply line as a function of the pressure difference across a restriction in the air supply duct, so that the air/gas ratio remains constant irrespective of air volume changes.  There is no need for an upstream constant pressure regulator when using an SKP55.xxxUx actuator within the applicable pressure range of the VGxxx.xxxU valve body.

The SKP75.xxxUx actuator:

The SKP75 actuator controls the burner manifold gas pressure as a function of the combustion air pressure.  There is no need for an upstream constant pressure regulator when using an SKP75.xxxUx actuator within the acceptable pressure range of the VGxxx.xxxU valve body.  If the combustion air pressure exceeds the permissible value of 12″ or 20″ w.c. (see Specifications), the pressure must be reduced by means of a pressure reducing T-fitting AGA78.

Accessory parts:

AGA28 – black bias spring for SKP55, for -0.4″ to 0.4″ w.c.
AGA75 – damping orifice for SKP75
AGA75.U1/4NPT – damping orifice for SKP75 with NPT threads
AGA78 – pressure reducing “T” for SKP75
AGA66 – sealing gasket
