Hot gas bypass regulator
Type KVC
KVC hot gas bypass regulator are used to adapt compressor capacity to actual evaporator load by supplying a replacement capacity in form of
hot / cool gas.
It is installed in a bypass line between the high and low pressure sides of the refrigeration system and is designed for direct gas injection into the suction line.

1) Rated capacity is based on: Suction gas temperature ts = 14 °F Condensing temperature tl = 77 °F Offset ∆p = 10 psi
2) KVC are delivered without flare nuts. Separate flare nuts can be supplied: 1⁄2 in code no 011L1103
5⁄8 in code no 011L1167
Note:
The connection dimensions chosen must not be too small, as gas velocities in excess of 130 ft / s at the inlet of the regulator can result in flow noise.
If the temperature in the discharge gas line is too high according to the compressor specifications, it is recommanded to install a liquid injection valve in a bypass from the liquid line to the suction line.

1) The capacities are based on: Condensing temperature tl = 77 °F
Correction factors for condensing temperature tl. When liquid temperature tl is other than 77 °F, adjust the table capacities by multiplying them by the appropriate correction factor found in the following table.
