Data Sheet
Condensing pressure regulator, type KVR
Differential pressure valve, type NRD
Maintains a constant and suciently high condenser and receiver pressure
Regulating system KVR and NRD is used to
maintain a constant and suciently high
condenser and receiver pressure in
refrigeration and air conditioning plant with
air-cooled condensers.
KVR can also be used together with receiver
pressure regulator, type KVD.

• 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
• 1⁄4 in. Schrader valve for pressure gauge
connection
• Available with are and ODF solder
connections
• KVR 12 - KVR 22 and NRD: May be used in the
following EX range: Category 3 (Zone 2)

Design and materials
Table 3: Design / Function
Condensing pressure regulator, type KVR opens upon a rise in pressure on the inlet side, i.e. when the pressure in
the condenser reaches the set value. KVR regulation is dependent only on the inlet pressure. Pressure variations on
the outlet side of the regulator do not aect the degree of opening, since type KVR has an equalizing bellows (6).
The eective area of this bellows corresponds to that of the valve seat.
In addition, the regulator is equipped with an eective damping device (9) to safe-guard against pulsations which
can normally occur in refrigeration plant.
The damping device contributes to ensuring a long working life for the regulator without impairing regulation
accuracy.
Dierential valve type NRD begins to open when the pressure drop in the valve is 1.4 bar.
