Minimum capacities shown are
recommendations based on standard
ARI conditions (45° F Evap. 130° F
Cond., 10°F SH, 10° F SC, 64.8 Btu/lb.
H) and reciprocating compressors.
System manufacturers are encouraged
to conduct their own application
testing to assure positive valve
reversals under all anticipated
operating conditions.
Nominal Capacity shown at 2 psig
suction pressure drop. Maximum
capacity not shown; Suction pressure
drop vs. valve type used must be
rationalized.
Valves for systems using alternate compressor
styles and/or high efficiency, large volume coils
should be evaluated for proper sizing to ensure
minimum valve pressure drop and capacity for
reliable reversals.
Male O.D. tube sizes are also available.
