Hand operated regulating valve
Type REG-SA and REG-SB 65
Designed for regulation purposes in liquid and expansion lines, suitable for MWP up to 65 bar
REG-SA and REG-SB are angleway and
straightway hand regulating valves, which act
as normal stop valves in closed position.
The valves are available in two dierent
versions – REG-SA and REG-SB designed for
regulation purposes in liquid and expansion
lines.
The valves are designed to meet the strict
quality requirements on refrigerating/heat
pump installations specied by the
international classication societies and are
carefully designed to present favourable ow
conditions and accurate linear characteristics.
REG-SA and REG-SB are equipped with vented
cap and internal backseating enables
replacement of the spindle seal whilst the valve
is active, i.e. under pressure.

• Easy to disassemble for inspection and possible repair.
• Acts as a normal stop valve in closed position.
• Housing and bonnet material is low temperature steel according to requirements of the Pressure Equipment
Directive and other international classication authorities.
• Exact capacity and setting of the valve can be calculated for all refrigerants by means of Coolselector™.
• Classication: DNV, CRN, BV, EAC etc. To get an updated list of certication on the products please contact your
local Danfoss Sales Company.
• Equipped with 42CrMo5 bolts to withstand high pressure.
• Service kits with replacement O-rings for R717 Heat Pump and R1270 Propylene include separate ID-ring for ID of
application

Refrigerants
Applicable to HCFC, HFC, R717 (Ammonia), R744 (CO₂) and ammable refrigerants.
For further information refer to the product instruction for REG-SA and REG-SB.
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.

The cone
The valves are available in two dierent versions – REG-SA with an A cone and REGSB with a B cone. The A cone is
designed for expansion lines, while the B cone is designed for regulating purposes e.g. liquid lines.
The valve cone is designed to ensure perfect regulation and provide an extensive regulating area. Irrespective of the
refrigerant used, it is easy to obtain the correct capacity. A cone seal ring provides perfect sealing at a minimum
closing momentum.
The valve cone can be turned on the spindle, thus there will be no friction between the cone and the seat when the
valve is opened and closed.
Spindle
The spindle is made of polished stainless steel, which is ideal for O-ring sealing.
Packing gland - REG-SA and REG-SB
The “full temperature range” packing gland ensures perfect tightness in the whole range: -60 °C /+150 °C (-76 °F /
+302 °F). The packing glands are equipped with a scraper ring to prevent penetration of dirt and ice.
Installation
Install the valve with the spindle up or in horizontal position. The ow must be directed towards the cone.
The valve is designed to withstand high internal pressure. However, the piping system in general should be
designed to avoid liquid traps and reduce the risk of hydraulic pressure caused by thermal expansion.
For further information refer to product instruction for REG-SA and REG-SB.

ID ring for special application
After converting a REG-SA/SB (DN 10-40) valve for Heat Pump/Propylene applications (replacing O-ring) the color
marked ID tag included in the service kit must be xed to the valve as shown in gure to the right.
The ID tag indicates the special application and identies the installed O-ring.

Computation and selection
In refrigeration plants, regulating valves are primarily used in liquid lines in order to regulate the ow of refrigerant.
The valves can, however, also be used as expansion valves. From a calculation point of view the two elds of
application are very dierent.
Normal ow is the term used to describe the general case where the ow through the valve is proportional to the
square root of the pressure drop across it and inversely proportional to the density of the refrigerant (Bernouillis
equation).
This relationship between mass ow, pressure drop and density satises the majority of all valve applications with
refrigerants and brines.
Normal ow is characterised by turbulent ow through the valve without any phase change. The following capacity
curves are based on the above mentioned assumption.
Application of the regulating valves outside the normal ow area will reduce the capacity of the valve considerably.
In such cases it is recommended to use Coolselector®2.

Sizing regulating valve for liquid ow
Liquid refrigerants: Use the liquid tables, Figure 13: REG-SA 25-40 and REG-SB 25-40, Figure 14: REG-SB 50, Figure 15:
REG-SB 65, Figure 16: Calculation factor CA, Figure 17: Flow rate diagram. For other refrigerants and brines, "Normal
ow" (Turbulent ow); see below and use the owcoecient tables (Figure 8: REG-SA 15-20 and REG-SB 15-20,
Hand operated regulating valve, type REG-SA and REG-SB 65
Computation and selection Example 1
Refrigerant: R 717
Refrigerant ow: 2200 kg/h
Pressure drop: Δp = 0.5 bar
The above mentioned example is illustrated on the following ow rate diagram and shows that REG-SB 15 and 20
with cone B can be used. The main rule is that nominal regulation range should be below 85% opening degree. If
the arrowline is crossing 2 cone curves, the smaller cone should be selected if opening degree < 85%.
The example is only correct if the density of the refrigerant is approx. 670 (kg/m3), and there must be no build-up of
ash gas in the valve.
Figure 17: Flow rate diagram
Computation and selection Example 2
Brine, density ρ: 1150 [kg/m3]
Brine ow G: 2,700 [kg/h]
Pressure drop Δp: 0.5 [bar]
In this example it is not possible to use the selection diagrams (Figure 12: REG-SA 15-20 and REG-SB 15-20, Figure
13: REG-SA 25-40 and REG-SB 25-40, Figure 14: REG-SB 50, Figure 15: REG-SB 65) as the refrigerant in question is not
included.
Use the curves of the kv-values instead (Figure 8: REG-SA 15-20 and REG-SB 15-20, Figure 9: REG-SA 25-40 and REG-
SB 25-40, Figure 10: REG-SB 50, Figure 11: REG-SB 65) and calculate the required kv by means of the formulas in the
"Introduction" passage at the beginning of this chapter. Alternatively calculate the kv-values by means of the
calculation factor CA (Figure 18: Calculation factor CA) and the ow rate diagram (in this example: Figure 19: Flow rate
diagram) as per the following calculation example.
SVL valves are approved according to the European standard specied in the Pressure Equipment Directive and are CE
marked.
