Pressure Actuated Water Regulating Valves

V148 Series: High Water Pressure Three-Way Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves

V148 Series: High Water Pressure Three-Way Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves

Description

V148 Series 3-Way Pressure-Actuated Water Regulating Valves are designed to regulate water flow and control refrigerant head pressure in systems with single or multiple water-cooled condensers. The V148 valves are ideal for applications with system water pressures of up to 350 psi (24.1 bar), such as highrise buildings.

V148 valves may be used with standard noncorrosive refrigerants. V148 valves have a monel (nickel-copper alloy) seat and disc holder.


Features

  • No close-fitting or sliding parts in water passages. Provides control in less-than-ideal water conditions.
  • High-pressure design allows use in systems with up to 350 psi (24.1 bar) water pressure.
  • Pressure-balanced design resists changes to setpoint caused by gradual or sudden water pressure changes.
  • Corrosion-resistant material for internal parts promotes long valve life.
  • Accessible range spring allows easy manual flushing.
  • Take-apart construction allows access to valve interior without removing valve from refrigeration system or pumping down.


Applications

V148 valves regulate water flow to watercooled condensers (and may be applied to hydronic systems) with water pressures up to 350 psi (24.1 bar). The V148 valves have an adjustable opening point in a refrigerant pressure range of 145-190 psi (10.0-13.1 bar). V148 valves may be used with standard non-corrosive refrigerants. Internal valve parts that come into contact with water are constructed of monel (nickelcopper alloy) and brass to resist corrosion.
