V246HB1-001C Johnson Controls Water Valve

Overview

The Johnson Controls V246HB1-001C is a 1/2-inch 2-way pressure-actuated water-regulating valve engineered to regulate water flow and control refrigerant head pressure in systems utilizing water-cooled condensers. This high-pressure Maritime model features a direct-acting control action and is designed to withstand corrosive environments by employing durable nickel-copper (Monel) internal parts.

Features

• No close-fitting or sliding parts in water passages to ensure robust control in less than ideal conditions
• Easy-to-access range spring allows for manual flushing
• Take-apart construction permits complete access to the valve interior without removing it from the refrigeration system or pumping it down
• Pressure-balanced design resists setpoint shifts caused by sudden or gradual changes in water pressure
• Corrosion-resistant Monel internal components promote long valve life in harsh maritime environments

Specifications

• Valve Size: 1/2 inch NPT
• Control Action: Direct Acting
• Opening Point Adjustment Range: 200 to 400 psi
• Factory-Set Opening Point: 200 psi (13.8 bar)
• Maximum Working Pressure: 630 psi (43.4 bar)
• Maximum Allowable Water Pressure: 150 psi (10.3 bar)
• Media Temperature Range: -4°F to 170°F (-20°C to 77°C)

Applications

• Designed for high-pressure refrigerant commercial and industrial refrigeration systems
• Ideal for maritime and coastal environments where cooling water or media may be corrosive to standard valve materials
• Utilized in water-cooled condenser systems to stabilize head pressure under varying load conditions
