"SMART SET" On-Line Adjustable Valve
The Solution for your Sootblower

The Problem:
Pressure Adjustment

Sootblowers require periodic blowing pressure re-adjustment to adapt to changing boiler conditions and cleaning requirements.
For a single sootblower it could take from two hours to eight hours to adjust an internally adjustable type poppet valve. This adjustment process translates to a major project for a mechanic to check and/or change the pressure settings on sootblowers.

With this labor-intensive process, one of two things will probably happen.
1. A lot of time is spent on the process
2. The adjustment process is skipped altogether which may result in pluggage of the boiler or excessive steam usage.

The Solution:
„SMART SET“ Valve

It takes only minutes to perform an accurate pressure adjustment on the SMART SET Externally Adjustable Poppet Valve.

This adjustment is done on-line with no sootblower locking-out procedures required. No plugs need to be heated for removal and there is no chance of introducing foreign objects in the cleaning medium supply line.

The SMART SET valve can be adjusted on-line in minutes without having to lock –out or isolate the blower.

Benefits: Less Money 

• saves weeks of labor every year 
• saves cleaning medium by allowing for accurate
  adjustments, which can result in thousand’s of 
  €  annually.
  

We make the Decision “SMART”

The SMART SET Valve is a direct bolt-on replacement of the Clyde Bergemann valve.
- It can be supplied with a custom mounted pressure gauge.
- It has a proven track record with 1000’s of installations.

Adjustment Concept

The SMART SET adjustment concept follows a very simple design rule. The square hole in the adjustment disk is sized to accommodate the square section of the valve stem. As the valve stem is turned it translates its rotational motion to the pressure disk, which threads the pressure disk into or out of the valve stem guide.

The poppet valve plays a major role in the proper operation of sootblowers. If the poppet valve is not set correctly, excessive lance failures can be experienced, boiler tube erosion can occur, cleaning medium can be wasted and damage to other components on the sootblower can happen.

The "SMART SET" Advantage: 

• The SMART SET valve can be adjusted on-line in minutes without having to lock –out or isolate the blower. 
• Pressures can be more accurately set leading to cost savings and improved cleaning. 
• The locking device prevents pressure shift during operation and provides a positive lock on the packing nut while adjustments are made. 
• The SMART SET poppet valve is easily rebuildable due to removable cartridge design. 
• The SMART SET poppet valve is a direct replacement for most Clyde Bergemann sootblowers. 
• When used in conjunction with the Clyde Bergemann CFE nozzle, the SMART SET poppet valve makes true boiler optimization easier and quicker.
