V246GD1-001C Johnson Controls Water Valve

Overview

The Johnson Controls V246GD1-001C is a 1-inch NPT, 2-way pressure-actuated water-regulating valve designed for systems with water-cooled condensers using high-pressure refrigerants. It operates with a direct-acting control action to regulate water flow, thereby controlling and maintaining optimal refrigerant head pressure.

Features

• No close-fitting or sliding parts in water passages, providing robust control in less than ideal water conditions.
• Accessible range spring allowing for easy manual flushing.
• Take-apart construction that permits access to the valve interior without removing the valve from the refrigeration system or pumping it down.
• Pressure-balanced design that effectively resists changes to the setpoint caused by sudden or gradual changes in water pressure.
• Corrosion-resistant internal materials to promote a longer valve service life.

Applications

This valve is ideal for commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications utilizing water-cooled condensers and standard, non-corrosive high-pressure refrigerants. It is specifically used to automatically modulate the flow of cooling water to maintain stable condensing pressures under varying heat loads. It is not intended for use with drinking or potable water systems due to its copper alloy composition.
