Pressure operated water valves types WVFX and
WVS are used for regulating the flow of water in
refrigeration plants with water-cooled
condensers.
The pressure operated water valves give
modulating regulation of the condensing
pressure within defined limits during operation.
When the refrigeration plant is stopped, the
cooling water flow is shut off automatically.
Pressure operated water valves can be used with
flammable refrigerants. Double sealing between
the refrigerant and the water line ensures that in
case the bellows damage and the refrigerant
leak, it cannot enter into the water. This severely
limits the safety implications. It means that the
valve can be used together with a double walled
heat exchanger and water circuit in such a
system does not need to be considered as a part
of the installation for flammable refrigerants
(EN378-1:2008, clause 4.4.2.2).
Features• Media: Fresh water and Neutral brine
• Refrigerants: HCFC, HFC and HC
• Needs no power supply – self acting
• Opens on rising condensing pressure
• Complete flow range from 1.4 – 300 m3/h
• Low flow version of WVFX – 0,63 m3/h,
(available on request)
• Insensitive to dirt
• WVFX 10 – 25 are available in stainless steel
housing
• Suitable for flammable refrigerants
• May be used in the following EX range:
Category 3 (Zone 2)
WVFX 10 – 40 are direct actuated valves.
WVS 32 – 100 are servo-operated valves.
Media temperature range
WVFX 10 – 25: -25 – 130 °C
WVFX 32 – 40: -25 – 90 °C
WVS: -25 – 90 °C
If a WVS is required with an opening differential
pressure of 1 – 10 bar, the valve servo spring
must be replaced.
See “Ordering”.
Opening differential pressure
WVFX 10 – 25: max. 10 bar
WVFX 32 – 40: max. 10 bar
WVS 32 – 40: min. 0.5 bar;
max. 4 bar
WVS 50 – 100: min. 0.3 bar;
max. 4 bar
Below 20% of max. capacity the WVS will act as
an on-off regulator.
