Pressure operated water valve
Type WVO
Pressure operated water valve type WVO is used
for regulating the flow of water in refrigeration
plant with water-cooled condensers.
The pressure operated water valve gives
modulating regulation of the condensing
pressure and so keeps it constant during
operation. When the refrigeration plant is
stopped, the cooling water flow is shut off
automatically.
Pressure operated water valve 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).
