Overview
The Johnson Controls V46AS-1C is a commercial, two-way pressure-actuated water-regulating valve designed to modulate the flow of water or glycol to water-cooled condensers in refrigeration systems. As a direct-acting valve, it opens automatically upon a refrigerant pressure increase, delivering a fast response to pressure variations to help maintain stable operating conditions.
Features
- Pressure-balanced design ensures the setpoint remains consistent against gradual or sudden water pressure changes
- Built with no close-fitting or sliding parts in water passages to prevent hysteresis or a stuck valve caused by contamination
- Engineered to minimize chatter and water hammer while providing smooth pressure modulation
- Features high refrigerant pressure-resistant bellows that can withstand high overpressure without damage
- Designed to allow for easy manual flushing if required
Specifications
- Nominal Pipe Size: 2 inches
- Inlet and Outlet Connection: ASME Flanged
- Pressure Adjustment Range: 70 to 170 psi (483 to 1,172 kPa)
- Body Material: Cast iron with a special rust-resisting finish
- Compatible Refrigerants: Commercial non-corrosive refrigerants such as R-12 and R-500
- Maximum Water Temperature: 170 deg F (77 deg C)
Applications
- Water-cooled condensers on commercial refrigeration systems
- Ice machines
- Computer room air conditioning units
- Ice cream machines
- Refrigeration cases
