Condensing pressure regulator, type KVR
Differential pressure valve, type NRD
The condensing pressure regulator, type KVR can
be mounted in either the gas or liquid side of the
condenser in refrigeration and air conditioning
systems.
They are used to maintain a constant and
sufficiently high condensing pressure with systems
using air-cooled condensers.
They can also be used with valve types NRD
or KVD to assure that adequate pressure is
maintained on the receiver.
Features • Accurate, adjustable pressure regulation
• Wide capacity and operating range
• Pulsation damping design
• Stainless steel bellows
• Compact angle design for easy
installation in any position
• “Hermetic” brazed construction
• ¼ in. Schrader valve for pressure
gauge connection
© Danfoss | DCS (rja) | 2020.07
• Available with flare or ODF solder connections
• Can be used as a relief valve from high pressure
to suction side
• KVR 12 - KVR 22 and NRD: May be used in the
following EX range: Category 3 (Zone 2)

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.

) Rated capacity is based on:
– evaporating temperature te = 40 °F
– condensing temperature tc = 110 °F
– pressure drop across the valve
Δp = 3 psi for liquid capacity
