Electric Regulating Valve
Type KVS
KVS is a series of electronic suction modulating valves for AC transport and refrigeration applications.
Accurate temperature or pressure control is obtained by modulating the refrigerant flow in the evaporator with a current or voltage driver.
With an EKC 368 controller (current driver) and an AKS sensor placed in the media to be controlled, an accuracy better than ± 0.5K can be obtained.
The balanced design provides bi-flow operation as well as solenoid shut-off function in both flow directions at MOPD 33 bar (478 psig).
