Pressure Actuated Water Regulating Valves

V248 Series: Three-Way Water Regulating Valve for High-Pressure Refrigerants

V248 Series: Three-Way Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves for High-Pressure Refrigerants

Description

The V248 Series 3-Way Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves for High-Pressure Refrigerants regulate water flow and control refrigerant head pressure in systems with single or multiple watercooled condensers.

V248 valves have an adjustable opening point in a refrigerant pressure range of 200 to 400 psig (13.8 to 27.6 bar).  V248 Series valves are designed specifically for condensing units cooled either by atmospheric or forced draft cooling towers. V248 Series valves are used on single or multiple condenser hook-ups to the tower to provide the most economical and efficient use of the tower.

V248 valves may be used with standard non-corrosive or ammonia refrigerants. For applications where the coolant may be corrosive to the internal parts, maritime models are available, which have nickel copper (Monel®) internal parts.

Features

  • No Close Fitting or Sliding Parts in Water Passages
  • Accessible Range Spring
  • Take-Apart Construction
  • Pressure-Balanced Design
  • Corrosion-Resistant Material for Internal Parts


Applications

Each application is unique and requires specific engineering data to properly size and design a system to fulfill the appropriate requirements. Typically, a valve is replaced with another valve of the same size in a properly sized and engineered system.
