All A4 Regulators are pilot operated using upstream pressure for the
opening force and requires a minimum 0.14 bar (2 psig) pressure drop
to fully open.
These valves are generally ordered with close coupled strainer to prevent
entrance of foreign material into the valve and the rest of the system. (See
current Bulletin DN00-10 for strainer information.)
The fluid temperature range for the A4 Series of Regulators is -45°C to
105°C (-50°F to 220°F).
Purpose
Modulates flow of refrigerant gas or liquid to maintain a constant
downstream pressure as set-for, despite fluctuations in load. The regulator
will gradually close when downstream pressure begins to rise above the
setting and will gradually open when pressure begins to fall below the
setting. The regulator cannot maintain set-for pressure if uncontrolled
branch pipe lines feed into the main pipeline downstream of the A4AO
Regulator. Typical uses are as follows:
Protect Compressor Motor from Overload (Hold-back): See capacity
ratings in Condensed Catalog CC-11. Select at design parameters i.e.,
tons, evaporator temp./press and pressure drop.
Hot Gas Bypass Capacity Control: See Bulletin BYG-4, Condensed
Catalog CC-11.
Limit Refrigerant Pressure in a Liquid Line: Contact factory for selection
assistance.
Prevent Deep Vacuum in Booster Suction: See capacity ratings
Condensed Catalog CC-11 "Compressor Suction Loading". For selections
other than those shown, contact factory.
Prevent Pressure Rise in Suction Main: Select valve based on mass
flow requirements. Valve Cv and pressure drop across regulator. Contact
factory for proper selection assistance, if required.
Hot Gas Defrost Control: Refer to Condensed Catalog CC-11 and
Bulletin 90-10 for ratings and application information.
