Overview
The Johnson Controls V46AT-1C is a commercial, pressure-actuated modulating water-regulating valve designed to control the flow of water or glycol solutions in refrigeration systems. It features a direct-acting operation where the valve opens on a refrigerant pressure increase, typically used to regulate head pressure in water-cooled condensers. Constructed with a durable iron body and featuring an ASME flanged connection, this 2-1/2 inch valve is built for reliable performance in open or closed commercial systems using non-corrosive refrigerants like R-12 and R-500.
Features
- Pressure-balanced design ensures the setpoint remains consistent against inlet water pressure variations
- Modulating direct-acting control opens smoothly upon pressure increases
- No close-fitting or sliding parts in water passages to prevent sticking and minimize chatter or water hammer
- Accessible range spring enables easy adjustment and manual flushing if required
- High refrigerant pressure resistant bellows can withstand significant hydraulic shock without damage
- Take-apart construction allows the interior components to be serviced or repaired in-line without pumping down the system
