V146 Series Two-Way Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves
Code No. LIT-1900163
Description
The V146 Series Two-Way Pressure-
Actuated Water-Regulating Valves regulate
water flow to control refrigerant head pressure
in systems with water-cooled condensers. The
V146 valves are ideal for applications with
system water pressures of up to 350 psig
(24.1 bar), such as high-rise buildings.
V146EK and V146AL valves have an
adjustable opening point in a refrigerant
pressure range of 70 to 260 psi (4.8 to
17.9 bar). V146EK and V146AL valves are
available in a 3/4 in. and 1 in. size. Use these
valves with standard, non-corrosive
refrigerants.
V146GK1 and V146GL1 valves have an
adjustable opening point in a refrigerant
pressure range of 200 to 400 psi (13.8 to
27.6 bar). The V146GK1 and V146GL1 valves
are available in 3/4 in. and 1 in. size for use
with standard, non-corrosive, high-pressure
refrigerants.
Refer to the V146 Series 2-Way
Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves
Product Bulletin (LIT-121709) for important
product application information.
Features
no close-fitting or sliding parts in water
passages
high-pressure design
pressure-balanced design
corrosion-resistant material for internal
parts
accessible range spring
take-apart construction
Applications
Each application is unique and requires
specific engineering data to properly size and
design a system to fulfill the appropriate
requirements. Typically, a valve is replaced
with another valve of the same size in a
properly sized and engineered system.
