metal to metal seat.
Principles of Operation
For closing of the CK-2, condenser gas pressure or pressure from
another source is admitted to the inlet on top of #1 Piston. The gas
pressure acting on the #1 Piston forces the piston down, compressing
#2 Spring, firmly seating on the valve seat bead. The valve will not
close unless pressure above the piston exceeds the downstream
pressure by at least 0.35 bar (5 psi). For opening the CK-2 Valve the
remote pressure source must be closed. The higher pressure above
#1 Piston will equalize through the piston bleed hole to the lower
pressure downstream of main valve allowing #2 Spring to open valve
fully. The valve will not open until pressure above the piston is
equalized with the downstream pressure after de-energizing, or
closing, of the pilot solenoid valve.

Service Pointers
1. Failure to close: (a) Pilot solenoid is not opening due to low voltage
or solenoid coil burnout. (b) Dirt lodged between #1 Valve Piston and
cylinder wall (disassemble and remove all dirt and burrs). (c) Manual
lift stem is turned in, thereby mechanically holding the #1 Piston up.
(d) Strainer/Disc in Pilot Line Flanges may be plugged (Remove and
clean). (e) Pilot pressure source is not high enough; must be at least
0.35 bar (5 psi) above the main valve downstream pressure.
2. Failure to open: (a) Pilot solenoid is not closing because its manual
lift stem is turned in. (b) Dirt lodged between #1 Valve Piston and
cylinder wall. (Disassemble and remove all dirt and burrs). (c) #2
Spring may be broken (replace spring). (d) Pressures between remote
pressure source and main valve downstream pressures are not
equalizing. Check for leakage through the pilot solenoid valve. Check
for backward installation of CK-2 preventing equalization with
downstream pressure.
3. Leakage through valve when closed: (a) There are dirt or chips
under the Piston Main Valve. Disassemble valve and clean thoroughly.
(b) PTFE main valve disc, on valve size 32mm (11/4") port, may be
damaged enough to permit leakage. (Disassemble valve and replace
Fig. 1 #1 Piston Main Valve). On metal to metal seated valves replace entire
Piston Main Valve assembly and lap grind piston face into valve and
seat bead if necessary.
