Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be an integral device with a pressure setting, a restrictor and a sensor all in the one body, or consist of a separate pressure sensor, controller and flow valve. For use on refrigeration andor air conditioning systems only bulletin 2010, november 1999 supersedes bulletin 2010, june 1975 and all prior publications. The equalization hole 3f in the servo piston 3b ensures that pressure p 2 is balanced in accordance with the degree of opening of the pilot valve.
Unlike some competitive models of low side regulators that utilize high pressure discharge gas as a pilot source, the sport ii evaporator pressure regulator is piloted with upstream iso 900 02 0 0 0 certified. Epr valves are also known as inlet, upstream, and back pressure regulators. The high pressure gas flows in reverse through the lower pressure suction piping and evaporator and eventually exits to the liquid header via check valves around the tev and liquid. Capacity table for selection of crankcase pressure regulators prc capacities are based on a pressure drop of. They were developed specifically for systems where accurate control and minimum pressure. Evaporator pressure regulator is not designed to maintain constant pressure in the evaporator, as cpxv. The cds valves are designed for precise and energy efficient control of evaporator temperatures, in addition to modulating temperature control of reclaim condensers, head pressure or liquid line differential control, and other applications where low pressure drop contribution is desirable. When designing refrigeration systems, it is important to minimize the pressure. With the expansion valve at the sporlan factory setting or at a manufacturers predetermined set point, and under the actual minimum load condition, the evaporator pressure regulator should be adjusted to the desired. A threestage regulator provides a stable outlet pressure similar to a twostage regulator but with the added ability to handle a significantly higher maximum inlet pressure. For high side regulator applications, the refrigerating specialties a8 regulator should be considered. A sporlan refrigerant distributor for most requirements thoroughly engineered, continually improved and laboratory and field tested for over 50 years. Evaporator vent airblown cooler induced flow air cooler hairpin exchanger dryer fluidized bed. However, proper installation procedures are equally as important.
Evaporator pressure regulator epr of lowlimit device that prevents the evaporator pressure because of reduction below set value. Maintain a constant evaporating pressure and thereby a constant surface temperature on the evaporator. The basic designation for the sporlan soritpi describes the operation. For example, the beswick prd3hp series threestage regulator is rated to handle an inlet pressure as high as 3,000 psi and it will provide a stable outlet pressure in the.
Evaporator pressure regulators danfoss type pkvpkvs introduction range 5 14 12 tr r 22 pkv is a servooperated, evaporator pressure regulator that operates with minimum pressure drop in the suction line. Conversely, if the evaporator is cooled, the vapor pressure drops and the ncg expands. Although each separate part covers a specific area of refrigera tion theory and practice, each successive publication presumes a basic understanding of. Kvp 2835 regulating range 0 80 psig factory setting 29 psig maximum working pressure mwp 260 psig. Evaporator pressure control evaporator pressure regulator epr prevents the pressure in an evaporator from dropping below a predetermined pressure two pressures control the valve spring pressure pushes to close the valve evaporator pressure pushes to open the valve evaporator superheat may be high when the epr. Furthermore, the state of the refrigerant within the pipes could be liquid, vapor, or some combination. Evaporator temperature an overview sciencedirect topics.
