Alfa Laval CPM Constant-Pressure Modulating Valve
CPMI-2, CPMI-D60 and CPMO-2 are sanitary constant-pressure valves. CPMI-2 and CPMI-D60 (Constant-Pressure Modulating Inlet) maintain a constant pressure in the process line at the inlet side of the valve. Typical applications are after separators, heat exchangers or overflow valves. CPMO-2 (Constant-Pressure Modulating Outlet) maintains a constant pressure in the process line at the outlet side of the valve. Typical applications are before filling/bottling machines etc.

Product Description

Working principle

The valves are remote-controlled by means of compressed air. A diaphragm/valve plug system reacts immediately to any alteration of the product pressure and changes position so that the present pressure is maintained.

Standard design

The CPMI-2 and CPMO-2 consist of a valve body with valve seat, cover, a valve plug with a diaphragm unit and a clamp. The cover and the valve body are clamped together. The valve body and the seat are welded together. The CPM-I-D60 consists of upper and lower valve bodies, an inlet tube, a cover, a valve plug with diaphragm unit and clamps. The cover and the valve bodies are clamped together.

CPMI-2                                          CPMO-2
a. Reduced product pressure.

CPMI-2                                         CPMO-2
b. Increased product pressure.

CPMI-2 and CPM-I-D60 opens at increasing product pressure and vice versa.
CPMO-2 closes at increasing product pressure and vice versa.

 

Diaphragm Unit

CPMI-2 and CPMO-2: The diaphragm unit consists of a stainless steel disc which is divided into sectors and of flexible diaphragms which are placed on each side of the sectors. CPM-I-D60: The diaphragm unit consists of two flexible diaphragms supported by 12 stainless steel sectors in between them.

Note! For further details, see also instructions ESE01825 and ESE01834

The valves operate without a transmitter in the product line and require only a pressure regulating valve for the compressed air and a pressure gauge in the product line.

Pressure drop/capacity diagrams

Note!
For all diagrams the following applies:
Medium: Water (20°C).
Measurement: In accordance with VDI 2173.
Alfa Laval recommend max. flow velocity in tubing and valves to be 5m/sec.

Example 1:
Pressure drop ∆p = 200 kPa.
Flow Q = 8 m3/h.
Select: CPM-2, Kv 23 which at working point will be 48% open.

Example 2:
CPMI-2:
Pressure drop ∆p = 300 kPa.
Flow Q = 1 m3/h.
Select: CPMI-2, Kv 2/15 which at working point will be approx. 35% open equal to about 50% of the regulating area.

NOTE! For all diagrams the following applies:
Medium: Water (68° F)
Measurement: In accordance with DI 2173
Alfa Laval recommend max. flow velocity in tubing and valves to be 5 m/sec.

Example of using the diagram:
1. Pressure drop ∆p = 300 kPa.
2. Flow = 50m3/h.
The intersection is on the 50% curve.

Note! Always try to get as close as possible to the 50% open curve. If the CPM-I-D60 is too big select from the CPMI-2 curves.

Example 1:
Pressure drop ∆p = 29 PSI
Flow Q = 35.2 GPM
Select: CPM-2, Cv 27 which at working point will be 48% open.
Example 2:
CPMI-2:
Pressure drop ∆p = 43.5 PSI
Flow Q = 4.4 GPM
Select: CPMI-2, Cv 2/18 which at working point will be approx. 35% open equal to about 50% of the regulating area.
Example of using the diagram:
1. Pressure drop ∆p = 36 PSI
2. Flow =220 GPM
The intersection is on the 50% curve.
Note! Always try to get as near as possible to the 50% open curve.
