uick-closing systems, as critical passive safety elements in
both naval and industrial sectors, must guarantee their correct
operation with total reliability in case of emergency.

FJ offers high-performing systems, designed for the most demanding

settings, always manufactured with high-quality materials and with full
traceability of both its components and production processes.

QUICK- CLOS ING
VA LV ES

FJ
includes SAVAL brand valves in its quick-
closing system, a company which belongs to
Fernández Jove group, and which has been
specialized in the manufacture of high-quality marine
valves for more than 50 years.

W W W. VALSAVAL .COM

Saval valves have been approved by the standards

of Lloyd’s Register, which certifies their design and
guarantees their correct functioning under critical
conditions.
The base of our valves is an integral metal seated, which
ensures its durability and therefore, avoids short-term
corrosion.

SAVAL Quick closing valves can be operated in three

different forms by using the same release mechanism.

R EMOT E HYDR AUL IC
CON T ROL

Q uick closing valves can be closed remotely by

hydraulic pump unit station. When the lever is
actuated, a plunger moves a fixed volume of
incompressible fluid (hydraulic oil) which activates the
release mechanism of the valves that are connected to
the unit.

H Y DR AUL I C PUM P UN I T

FJ
offers pump units with one, two and up to
three levers mounted on the same metal
frame.

These pump units, as the valves, are manufactured by

SAVAL | Marine Valves brand, of Fernández Jove group.
The interconnection between the pump unit and the
valves is created through a Ø8x1 mm pipe.

CHAR AC TERISTICS

Pump volume: 56 cm3

Design pressure: 4,5-5 bar

Suitable for the releasing of:

4 valves SAVAL GI: DN15 a DN100

ydraulic pump units can be supplied installed inside
a metal cabinet; that way they are protected
against environmental dirt or possible external
manipulation.

These cabinets are supplied ready to be installed,

including the necessary connections to the pipes.

FJ offers standard version cabinets with up to 5 pump

units (other options under request).

R EMOT E PNEUM AT IC
CONTROL

P
neumatic actuation system is based on the
application of air pressure on the plunger of the
valve, which actuates the release mechanism and
instantaneously cuts the line.

The main advantage of the pneumatic system is that it

allows the closure of an unlimited number of valves from
a single cabinet.

CHAR AC TERISTICS

As standard, FJ offers cabinets with up to 8 actuators, which allows up to 8 valve lines to be actuated
independently.

The pneumatic actuation system consists, in its most basic version, on a control cabinet with all the actuation
elements included inside. The cabinets are usually complemented with an air accumulator, which adds the capacity
of closing the valves without air supply.

12
COM P ONEN T S

PNEUMAT IC CON T ROL C ABINE T

Our cabinets have been designed to include the

different necessary elements to remotely control the
valves.

Filter. To ensure optimum air quality and

constant actuation pressure. As standard, the
normal working pressure for these systems is of
6-8 bar.

Release mechanism to actuate the valves.

Each actuator will be able to remotely release
mechanism as many valves as necessary,
depending on the design of the system.

Identification of the line. Each line of valves

or release mechanism is individually identified,
based on its design information. This allows to be
able to close only the valves that are necessary,
keeping operational the rest of the services which
have not been affected by the emergency.

A IR ACCUMUL ATOR

FJ designs the accumulator to adapt it to each

specific case, studying the number of valves which
need to be operated and the distance which goes
from the panel to the valve.

The accumulator is designed to perform a minimum

of two emergency drives in case the main
compressed air supply is lost.

In exceptional cases, the accumulator can be installed

inside the drive cabinet.

As standard, FJ offers accumulators of 5,10,15,20,25

and 50 L. More capacity accumulators are also
available under request for special uses.

13
EL EC T ROPNEUMAT IC
CONTROL
The electropneumatic control system maintains the
functionality of the pneumatic ones, but it adds electrical
components to improve the functions of remote control
and connectivity.

These equipments include solenoid valves in parallel with

the manual push button, which makes possible to close
the valves from another system or from keypads.

14
COM P ONEN T S

L IGHT INDIC AT ION

To be able to view the position of the valves (open/

closed) from the control cabinet, it is possible to
include pilot lights connected to the limit switches.
Those pilots are installed in the front part of the
cabinet or, exceptionally, in separate panels.

Moreover, optional indications can be added for the

different emergencies of the systems (low pressure,
power failures, etc.)

REMOT E OPER AT ION

BU T TON STAT IONS

The use of solenoid valves in FJ’s control cabinet

allows quick-closing valves to be remotely operated
from button stations, located at a different point of
the facility.

The size and number of button station would be

established depending on each project.

PR IOR| VA L
CON T ROL SYST EM

FJ’s electropneumatic drive cabinet can include a

PLC and incorporate PRIOR|VAL control system,
developed by Fernández Jove.

Adding PRIOR|VAL to the quick closing system

enhances its use, as it can be monitored on a control
screen or connected to other superior systems (such
as IAS or SCADA), by using fieldbus or other options.

By doing this, the alarms could be displayed, check

the situation of all the valves (open/closed) and
activate them remotely.

EMERGENCY P OW ER SUPPLY

FJ’s electropneumatic system can include an

emergency power that keeps it functioning even if
the main power is not working.

This also allows the keypads, control equipment

and other elements to remain operational.

EMERGENCY B AT T ERY

The system supports the inclusion of battery

modules, which allows control elements to remain
operational when both primary and secondary
supplies are not working.

L INE BRE AK DE T EC T ION SYST EM

If button stations are used, cable break detectors

can be incorporated, which allows detecting
connection failures and would always keep them
operational. In case of a cable failure the system
would make a visual/audible alarm to send warning
to a higher system (IAS/SCADA).

AUDIBL E WARN ING

Audible indications can be incorporated into FJ’s

control cabinet. This way, when an alarm which
makes emergency shutdown is impossible to
activate, such as a pressure drop on the system,
an audible warning would be activated.

C ABINE T REFR IGER AT ION

If the system is expected to suffer high

temperatures, a forced cooling object such as a
ventilator or Vortex cooler could be included.

· Conformity Report
· User manuals

Optional documentation:
· 3.1 certificate of SAVAL valves

these issues.

IDEN T IFIC AT ION A ND L ABEL ING

As standard, FJ identifies and labels the components

of the quick-release system, the actuators and valve
lines, based on the information received for each
project.

This makes possible to easily identify which valves

to close and the system they belong to, to avoid
unnecessary cuts in areas not affected by the
emergency.

T R ACE ABIL I T Y MARKS

The equipment and valves manufactured by FJ have

a traceability mark which saves all the information of
the production process.

Thanks to this, we guarantee that mentioned

information during all the lifecycle of the projects
and, due to that, we ensure that a better technical
support would be provided in future maintenance
tasks.
