NRV and NRVH piston type check valves are
designed for installation in commercial
refrigerating systems and in residential or
industrial air conditioning plants. They are used
to control the unidirectional ow of refrigerant
so as to prevent backow.
Features:
• Available in both straightway and angleway
versions which is easy to connect
• Hermetic tight design for solder versions with
low risk of external leakage
• Built-in damping piston that makes the valves
suitable for installation in lines where
pulsation can occur, e.g. in the discharge line
from the compressor
• NRVH type check valve is with stronger spring
and it‘s recommended to use for compressors
in parallel (i.e. power packs) where higher
level of pulsation and vibration are expected
• Low pressure drop during operation
• Oversize connections provide exibility in use

Check valve, type NRV and NRVH
Functions
NRV/NRVH are used to control the unidirectional ow of refrigerant so as to prevent backow. When selecting the
right Danfoss check valve, it’s recommended to use Coolselector which is a Danfoss calculation and selection
software. When dimensioning and selecting Danfoss check valves for mounting into the compressor discharge line,
it is important to be aware of the following:
The dierential pressure across the valve must always be higher than the given minimum pressure drop at which
the valve is open. This also applies to lowest capacities for compressor with capacity regulation. NRVH type check
valve is with stronger spring and it’s recommended to use for compressors in parallel (i.e. power packs) where
higher level of pulsation and vibration are expected.

Design and materials
The pressure of the uid passing through a refrigeration system opens the valve, while any reverse ow closes the
valve.
In NRV/NRVH check valves a sealing disc is activated by the spring to close or open the valve, and the force of the
spring determines the dierential opening pressure.When the refrigerant ows through the valve and thedierential pressure is more than Min. opening pressure, the piston will move to stop face and compress the spring,
then the valve will open.
NRV/NRVH valves are equipped with a damping piston for improved performance in lines where pulsations can
occur, e.g. in the discharge line from a compressor.

Valve selection based on capacity calculation
As for extended capacity calculations and valve selection based on capacities and refrigerants, please refer to
Coolselector®2. Rated and extended capacities are calculated with the Coolselector®2 calculation engine to ARI
standards with the ASEREP equations based on laboratory measurements of selected valves.
Connections
Standard NRV/NRVH versions can be provided with straightway and angleway, connection types Flare or Solder
ODF in a wide variety of connection sizes. Solder versions are with extended ends copper connections, are versions
with brass connections.
