• 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)

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 aˆect the degree of opening, since type KVR has an equalizing bellows (6). The eˆective area of this bellows corresponds to that of the valve seat.
In addition, the regulator is equipped with an eˆective 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.
Diˆerential valve type NRD begins to open when the pressure drop in the valve is 1.4 bar.
