Data sheet Float valve ype is a high pressure float valve with internal liquid measuring device. he float valve is designed for direct flange mounting or welding on to plate heat exchanger type condensers, as illustrated in fig 1. is direct acting, therefore no differential pressure is required to activate the valve. is sturdy and reliable owing to its simple design. he float valve is equipped with a purge valve for purging non condensable gases e.g. air from the top of the valve housing. his facility is also useful if the valve has to be serviced. he is available with two external connections on the housing for drainage and pressure equalizations. Features Designed for direct flange mounting on to plate heat exchanger type condensers Can be mounted directly on vessels emperature range: /+80 C ( 58/+176 F) Equipped with purge valve for purging non condensable gasses Available with external connections for drainage and pressure equalizations Maximum operating pressure is 25 bar g (363 psi g) Suitable for R717 (aonia), HCFC and HFC with a density of 0 through 0 kg/m 3 (31.21-43. lb/ft 3 ). For densities outside this range please contact your local Danfoss sales company. Housing i.e. shell and flange are made of special steel approved for low temperature application Classification: DNV, CRN, BV, EAC etc. o get an updated list of certification on the products please contact your local Danfoss Sales Company.

Strength test without float ball: 42 bar g (609 psi g). Leakage test: 25 bar g (363 psi g). Valves for higher pressure are available on request. he principle of high pressure control Introduction In installations with one application high pressure control is an effective and cost saving way of expanding liquid from the condenser to the low pressure side. High pressure refrigerant entering the condenser will start to condense, consequently condensate will accumulate at the bottom of the condenser and in the float valve. When capacity demands increase, the liquid level in the float valve will rise, which will cause the valve to open and the refrigerant to expand into the separator at the low pressure side. When the valve is closed, there will still be a small by-pass over the seat, so any remaining liquid will equalize slowly to the low pressure side, for instance during an off cycle. herefore the system will equalize automatically and the compressor can start up without excessive back pressure. he of the bypass is pre determined and defined by geometry of the elements. It follows from the above, that almost all the refrigerant will be accumulated on the low pressure side under normal conditions. herefore under normal conditions no high pressure receiver is necessary when using the for high pressure control.

Select a valve using the specific operating conditions. he chosen valve must have a capacity higher than the required capacity during nominal operation, as well as during plant start up. In plants using other refrigerants than aonia he capacity of the float valve can be calculated by using the values and the equation to the right. However, the density of the refrigerant must be in the range: 0 to 0 kg/m 3.
