Description
The DVU Series models are pneumatically controlled dump valves. The valves
open and close automatically by pneumatic control from an FW Murphy LS200NDVOR
or similar level controller and dump valve operator. Diaphragm actuated, the
DVU series dump valves operate at 30–70 psi (207–483 kPa) [2.07–4.83 bar] and
up to 2000 psi (13.8 MPa) [138 bar] vessel pressure (depending on model). A
key benefit of this design is the hex union that provides the ability to
replace the seat without removing the valve from the piping.

Typical Installation of Gas Compressors and Basic Operation
As condensate rises in the scrubber, the float on the pneumatic level control
rises and trips its pneumatic valve. The valve opens, allowing pressure to
enter the dump valve pilot chamber. Once the pressure enters the pilot chamber
it forces the diaphragm and valve stem forward, thus opening the valve seat
(valve open/closed indicator button pops out) and releasing condensate through
the valve stem and out the drain. As the condensate level drops, the pneumatic
level control valve closes to shut off the pressure to the dump valve, causing
it to close.
If for any reason the condensate continues to rise beyond normal dump levels,
the high-level shut-down switch operates the alarm and/or shuts down the
equipment. The filter/regulator and gauge help keep the control pressure clean
and dry. They also allow the operator to adjust the pressure to recommended
levels.
Note: Always use clean, dry, instrument quality gas.
Typical Dump Valve Installation
CAUTION: Always use non-sparking tools when gas is known to be present.
Direct Mounting Method to Tank Wall
- Install the valve so the drain connection is on the bottom. Use pipe thread sealant on all the connections.
- Be sure the unit is screwed tight and does not leak.
- Install the piping for the pneumatic input signal into the 1/8 NPY threaded connection of the pressure inlet port (on top of the diaphragm housing of the DVU).
- Install a union between the DVU drain connection and the condensate outline. Use pipe thread sealant on all the connections.

Repair Procedure
CAUTION: Use extreme care to ensure any residual or full pressure is
relieved from all parts of the system to be serviced.
Replacing the Plug and Seat
-
Close the pressure block valves (suction and discharge valves) on the inlet and outlet of the skid. Lock them closed if possible.
-
Open the blowdown valve to remove pressure from the unit. Lock the blowdown valve open if possible.
-
After taking all possible precautions to ensure there is no pressure in the vessel, (If the condensate line is pressurized, it must also be blocked and locked.) open the manual drain valve so it bleeds into the vessel so it can also be bled down.
Disconnect the pneumatic input signal connection after ensuring it also has been depressurized. See illustrations on page 2. -
Using the backup wrench on the valve body, with a quick breaking action, loosen the union nut on the valve. There is a weep hole in the nut. If at any time (while loosening and taking off the nut) pressure is escaping through the weep hole, immediately stop loosening the nut. Retighten the nut and check the preceding procedures to ensure the pressure is bled off the vessel. Never remove the assembly if pressure is coming through the weep hole. See illustrations on page 2.
-
With the upper assembly removed from the vessel, the plug and/or seat can be replaced. Loosen the 9/16 in. jam nut on the maintenance bolt on top of the diaphragm cover. Spin the nut up against the head of the bolt. Tighten the bolt to extend the shaft and plug. Do not over-tighten.
-
Using the backup wrench on the plug, remove the stem nut on the shaft under the plug. Once the stem nut is broken loose, the 9/16 in. head maintenance bolt and top assembly will keep the stem from turning. The plug turns freely on the stem once loose.
The plug and the stem can now be removed. All soft seals should be replaced. Refer to How to Order. -
If the diaphragm or stem needs to be replaced, do steps a–k in the procedure Replacing the Stem or Diaphragm. Otherwise, proceed with steps 8–11.
-
Install the seat and plug. Place the O-ring on the stem followed by the washer and stem nut.
-
Tighten the stem nut. Loosen the 9/16 in. head maintenance bolt by at least one turn past the point where it is no longer in contact with the stem. Tighten head aintenance bolt.
-
Replace the crush washer and the O-ring hidden by the union nut. NOTE: If pressure or fluid comes out of the weep hole of the union nut, either the O-ring under the union nut is leaking or the packing could be leaking through the internal weep hole above that O-ring.
-
The assembly is ready to be reinstalled. Check for the relative position of the pneumatic input signal connections before tightening the union nut. See the Torque Specification table.

Replacing the Stem and/or Diaphragm
Only do the following steps if the diaphragm or stem needs to be replaced and
after completing steps 1–7 in the procedure Replace the Plug and Seat.
a. Loosen the 9/16 in. head maintenance bolt allowing the diaphragm
spring to relax and the stem to retract. Make alignment marks on the top and
bottom halves of the diaphragm assembly for alignment during reassembly.
b. Remove the eight 7/16 in. bolts/nuts holding the diaphragm housing
together.
c. Using a straight edge screwdriver, gently separate the two halves of
the diaphragm housing and remove the top or outside portion.
d. Lift the diaphragm and support plate far enough for the 1-1/8 in. hex
or 1 in. round nut on the bottom of the diaphragm assembly to be accessible to
a wrench and not have the spring interfere.
If it is desired to replace the packing and or stem, pull the stem all the way
out. The packing can easily be removed by using a small screwdriver to pry the
packing out. The new packing can be simply pressed in, making sure the
orientation of the packing installed is the same as the orientation of the
packing removed. The packing is wider toward the plug end. You will have to
use the seat to hold the packing in place when re-inserting the stem.
e. With the 1-1/8 in. hex or 1 in. round nut held by a wrench, use a
wrench to loosen and remove the 1/2 in. nut on top of the diaphragm. The
diaphragm, plate, and stem can now be removed and replaced.
f. With the new diaphragm in place and the 1/2 in. nut tightened, place
the assembly with the diaphragm down on a clean and smooth sturdy surface.
g. Have the seat, pug, washers, and stem nut handy (if any of these are
to be replaced use the old parts for this procedure). Press down evenly and
smoothly on the bottom of the diaphragm assembly to cause the stem to come up.
Place the set and plug it in place. Then push the bottom of the diaphragm
assembly down far enough to install the washers and stem nut on the stem.
Tighten the stem nut enough to hold against the diaphragm spring.
h. Align the diaphragm holes to the bolt holes (bottom half of the
housing). Install the upper diaphragm housing using the alignment marks from
removal. Install the eight 7/16 in. bolts and nuts. Tighten the bolts evenly
using an X-pattern until all eight bolts are evenly tight. See the Torque
Specification table.
i. Using the 9/16 in. head maintenance bolt, tighten, pushing the stem
out until the 9/16 in. bolt stops. Do Not Overtighten.
j. Remove the stem nut holding the plug.
k. If old parts were used, prepare to install the new parts now.
Follow steps 8-11 in the procedure Replacing the Plug and Seat.
