Hot gas bypass regulator, type CPCE
Liquid gas mixer, type LG (accessory)

CPCE hot gas bypass regulator adapt compressor
capacity to actual evaporator load.

They are designed for installation in a bypass line
between the low and high pressure sides of the
refrigeration system, for hot gas injection
between the evaporator and thermostatic
expansion valve.

Injection should be arranged to occur through
an LG liquid gas mixer.

Features

Approvals UL listed, file SA7200

CPCE hot gas bypass regulator

• Superior control accuracy

• Direct connection to system suction line
regulates hot gas injection independent
of evaporator pressure drop

• The regulator increases evaporator gas
velocity, thus ensuring better oil return to
compressor

• Protection against too low an evaporating
temperature, i.e. prevents evaporator icing

• May be used in the following EX range:
Category 3 (Zone 2)

LG liquid gas mixer

• LG provides homogeneous mixing of the
liquid and hot gas refrigerant injected into the
evaporator

• Prevents high suction superheat by combining
hot gas injection with expansion valve
characteristics

• LG can be used for hot gas defrosting or
reverse cycle systems

Selection

Example
When selecting the appropriate valve it may be
necessary to convert the actual capacity using a
correction factor. This is required when system
conditions are different from table conditions.

Step 1

Determine the replacement capacity. This is done
by taking the compressor capacity at minimum
suction temperature Q1 minus evaporator load at

Step 2

Determine the correction factor for the reduction
of suction temperature / suction pressure.

temperature of ts = -30 °C.

Step 5

CPCE 12, 1/2 in solder connection,
code no. 034N0082 (see Ordering).

Using the corrected replacement capacity, select
a valve that provides an equivalent or greater
capacity.
A CPCE 12 delivers a replacement capacity of

17.9 kW at a minimum suction temperature of

-30 °C.

Hot gas bypass regulator, type CPCE is servo­operated.
The diaphragm (7) is actuated on the upper side
by the force developed by the spring (6) and on
the lower side by the pilot pressure from (3).
When the pilot pressure drops below the preset
value, the throttling ball is forced away from the
pilot orifice (9) by the spring which acts via the
pressure pin (8).
The pressure over the servo piston (10) is then
relieved. The differential pressure which is thus
created moves the servo piston up and causes
the regulator to open so that hot gas is able to
flow to the suction side.
When the pilot pressure rises above the setting,
the pilot orifice shuts off the evacuation from
the space over the servo piston. Pressure then
builds up again over the piston via the pressure
equalising hole (11), thus closing the regulator.
