Quick Closing Drain Valve designed particularly for
draining oil from systems
QDV is a shut-o valve, designed particularly
for draining oil from systems containing
refrigerant (ammonia) under pressure.
The valve will close immediately on release of
the handle, thus protecting user and
environment against unnecessary refrigerant
leaks. The valve should as a rule be installed as
illustrated in g. 1.
In order to prevent hydraulic pressure building
up between the stop valve and the QDV an
integral relief device is included as part of the
cone arrangement, which will open at approx.
16 bar (232 psig).
QDV is designed to meet the safety demands
specied by national and international
authorities within industrial refrigeration.
Features:
• Applicable to R717 (ammonia)
• Meets the safety demands within industrial
refrigeration
• Handle can be positioned 360°
• Built-in integral relief device opening when
16 bar (232 psig) is exceeded. (preventing
hydraulic pressure building up between shut-o valve and QDV)
• Can be supplied together with a stop valve
for quick on site mounting (g. 1)
• Max. operating pressure: 40 bar (580 psig)
• Temperature range: -50 °C – +150 °C (-58 °F –
+302 °F)
• Classication: DNV, CRN, BV, EAC etc. To get
an updated list of certication on the
products please contact your local Danfoss
Sales Company.

Refrigerants
Liquid refrigerant can be trapped between the stop valve and drain valve causing an unsafe, high-pressure situation,
or potentially damaging either valve.
The internal relief device in the Danfoss QDV allows refrigerant to slowly bleed if internal valve pressure exceeds 16
bar (232 psig). Further, the valve is easily actuated by hand (without tools), and has an internal spring mechanism to
instantly close the valve if the actuator is let go. All QDV valves are in angle orientation with FPT outlet, suitable for
safe draining.
New refrigerants
Danfoss products are continually evaluated for use with new refrigerants depending on market requirements.
When a refrigerant is approved for use by Danfoss, it is added to the relevant portfolio, and the R number of the
refrigerant (e.g. R513A) will be added to the technical data of the code number. Therefore, products for specic
refrigerants are best checked at store.danfoss.com/en/, or by contacting your local Danfoss representative.
QDV is a backpressure dependent valve. If any tube or hose is mounted on the outlet of the QDV it has to be
calculated to prevent back pressure building up when relieving.
For further information please see installation guide for QDV. Flammable hydrocarbons are not recommended, for
further information please contact your local Danfoss Sales Company.

NOTE:
Other types of connection are available on request.
QDV - SVA combination
Combinations of the QDV together with a dedicated SVA have been established for easy selection. Please see page 6
to nd the code numbers for these combinations.
