Description
Emerson has developed a stepper motor driven valve for precise control of refrigerant mass flow in air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pumps, close control, and industrial process cooling applications. It is suitable for subcritical CO
2 applications.
Basic Specifications
- Applications: thermo-expansion duty with superheat control, liquid injection duty, hot gas bypass, evaporator pressure regulator, crankcase pressure regulator, head pressure regulator, or liquid level control
- Multifunction as expansion valves, hot gas bypass, suction gas throttling, head pressure, liquid level actuator etc.
- Fully hermetic design (no thread joints between valve body and motor compartment)
- Stepper motor driven
- Maximum working pressure: 45 bar
- Burst pressure: 225 bar
- Nominal capacity range: 24 – 244kW
Advantages
- Short opening and closing time
- Very fast full stroke time
- High resolution and excellent repeatability
- Bi-flow versions for heat pump applications
- Positive shut-off function to eliminate the use of an additional solenoid valve
- Linear flow capacity
- Extremely wide capacity range (10 … 100%)
- Continuous modulation of mass flow, no stress (liquid hammering) in the refrigeration circuit
- Direct coupling of motor and valve for high reliability (no gear mechanism)
- Ceramic slide and port for accurate flow and minimal wear
- Balanced force design
- Corrosion resistant stainless steel body and connections
