Features 
•  Stainless steel power element eliminates corrosion 
  and prevents valve failure
•  Hermetic, leak-free construction
•  Compact size allows installation in limited spaces
•  Bi-Flow capability allows one valve to control the
  superheat in both cooling and heating modes for 
  heat pump applications
•  Balanced port construction compensates for 
  changes in operating pressures due to varying 
  ambients, gas defrost, heat reclaim, or widely 
  varying evaporator loads
The BA/BN series is a balanced ported valve. Typical applications 
include: refrigerated cases, coolers, freezers, ice machines and air 
conditioning systems. BA/BN valves operate over widely varying 
operating conditions.
Options

•  Bleed type pressure equalization available to
  accommodate PSC type compressors
•  SAE or ODF connections standard – Chatleff or Aeroquip
  are available
•  Adjustable or non-adjustable superheat 
Specifications 
•  Maximum working pressure: 700 psig
