8 Troubleshooting
The on/off (butterfly) valve does not close seal-tight
□ Never close the on/off (butterfly) valve by exerting
excess force. This leads to the risk of irreparable damage.
□ Test whether the energy supply is connected.
□ Test whether the “closed” position of the actuator and
the “closed” position of the on/off disc are in alignment.
□ Check the torques of the BAR valve on the basis of the
following table. (see Table 13)
□ Check the sealing surface of the on/off disc and the seal-
ing elements for possible damage. Dismantle the on/off
(butterfly) valve. Test whether any foreign objects are
present between the on/off disc and the sealing ele-
ments. Remove the foreign objects or deposits, if neces-
sary.
□ Replace damaged parts, if necessary.
For disassembly, please read the Maintenance section of
the Appendix.
There is escape of fluid or gas...
...at high-performance valves with O-ring seal
Test whether the O-rings are damaged at the bearing bush.
Replace the O-rings of the bearing bushing as well as the O-
rings and support rings of the shaft seal, and the annular
groove with spring, if necessary. (see Figure 13).
For disassembly, please read the Maintenance section of
the Appendix.
