Introduction
These watervalves are especially designed for
condensing units cooled either by atmospheric
or forced draft cooling towers. They may be
used on single, or multiple condenser hook-ups
to the tower. The type V48 valve senses the
compressor head pressure and allows cooling
water to flow to the condenser, to by-pass the
condenser, or to allow waterflow to both
condenser and by-pass line in order to maintain
correct refrigerant head pressure. A further
advantage of this system is that the 3-way valve
permits a continuous water flow to the tower so
the tower can operate efficiently with a
minimum of maintenance on nozzles and
wetting surfaces. The valves can be used in
non-corrosive refrigerant systems. Ammonia
power elements and valves designed for salt-
water applications are available. The valves
have a quick opening characteristic.
