Danfoss-SV-1-SV-3-Float-Valve-PRODUCT

Litaelo tsa Tšebeliso ea Sehlahisoa

  • Used for small, flooded evaporators with minimal liquid level variations.
  • Liquid level fall causes the float to move downwards, increasing liquid injection.
  • Ensure proper sizing of the liquid inlet line for optimal performance.
  • Refer to the suggested dimensions for the liquid and balance pipe in the Pipe dimensions section.
  • Used when the liquid level rises, drawing excess liquid away.
  • Be cautious of flash gas formation due to subcooling and pressure drops with fluorinated refrigerants.
  • Properly size the liquid line to prevent pressure drops that can reduce valve capacity and lead to liquid accumulation

For industrial refrigeration, liquid level regulation

  • Several float valves are available for Industrial refrigeration liquid level control in the product group “Liquid level regulating valves”, such as HFI and SV series.
  • The SV series contains the following types: SV 1, SV 3, SV 4, SV 5 and SV 6, some of which can be delivered as dedicated “E” versions for hydrocarbon applications.
  • The SV 1 and SV 3 can be used separately as a modulating liquid level regulator in refrigerating, freezing and air conditioning systems for ammonia or fluorinated refrigerants.
  • However, in most cases, the SV is used as a float pilot valve for the main expansion valve type PMFH.
  • The SV 1 and SV 3 are used as liquid level regulators in either low-pressure applications or in high-pressure applications.
  • Adaptation to the specific application is done by the orientation of the valve and thereby the float functions

Lisebelisoa

SV (L), low-pressure function

  • SV (L) is used for small, flooded evaporators, where only slight variations in the liquid level can be accepted.
  • When the liquid level falls, the float pos. (2) moves downwards. This draws the needle position. (15) away from the orifice and the amount of liquid injected is increased.
  • The liquid inlet line is mounted on the nipple position. (C), should be dimensioned in such a way that acceptable liquid velocities and pressure drops are obtained.
  • This is particularly important when the liquid is only slightly subcooled, since valve capacity is reduced considerably if flashgas occurs in the liquid ahead of the orifice and wear is strongly increased.
  • See the suggested dimensions for the liquid line in “Pipe dimensions”. Refer to section Dimensions and weights.
  • The flashgas quantity which occurs on expansion is removed through the balance pipe from pos. (D).
  • On a refrigeration plant using fluorinated refrigerants, slight subcooling and a large pressure drop can give a flash gas quantity of approximately. 50% of the injected liquid quantity.
  • Therefore, the pressure drop in this balance pipe must be kept at a minimum, since there will otherwise be a risk that the liquid level in the evaporator will vary to an unacceptable degree as a function of evaporator load.
  • The absolute difference between the liquid level of the evaporator and the SV valve will be too large.
  • See the suggested dimensions for the balance pipe in “Pipe dimensions”. Refer to section Dimensions and weights

Danfoss-SV-1-SV-3-Float-Valve-FIG-3

SV (H), high-pressure function

  • When the liquid level rises, the float pos. (2) moves upwards. This draws the needle pos. (15) away from the orifice and the excess liquid is drawn away.
  • On a refrigeration plant using fluorinated refrigerants, slight subcooling and a large pressure drop can, as already mentioned, cause the formation of a large amount of flashgas.
  • This mixture of liquid and vapor has to pass through the nipple pos. (C) and out into the liquidline.
  • If the dimensions of the line are too small, a pressure drop will occur, which can reduce the capacity of the SV (H) valve considerably. This will mean a risk of inadvertent liquid accumulation in the condenser or receiver.

See the suggested dimensions for the liquid line in “Pipe dimensions”. Refer to section Dimensions and weights

  • The connection nipple (C) can be mounted either in P or in S

  • With a P-connection, an SV with a closed float orifice will have a capacity that corresponds to the degree of opening of the adjustable throttle valve 10.

  • With S-connection,the throttle valve 10 will function as a pre-orifice on SV (L) and as a post orifice on SV (H)

SV 1 – 3 used as a high-pressure defrost drain float valve
SV 1 – SV 3 can be used as a defrost drain float valve, when one balance pipe is sealed off and the liquid level regulator is mounted with a special kit (code no. 027B2054) consisting of:

  • Special orifice and orifice needle with a larger kv-value of 0.28 m3/h.
  • Gas drain pipe

  • The SV 1 and SV 3 can be used separately as a modulating liquid level regulator in refrigerating, freezing and air conditioning systems for ammonia or fluorinated refrigerants.
  • SV float valves are currently authorized by Danfoss for use with several R numbers HCFC, non-flammable HFC, Ammonia, CO2 and hydrocarbons. New refrigerants are added frequently to the list of Danfoss-approved refrigerants and added to the product types.
  • For an exhaustive and updated list, look up a code number in https://store.danfoss.com/en/.

New refrigerants

  • Danfoss products are continually evaluated for use with new refrigerants, depending on market requirements.
  • When a refrigerant is approved for use by Danfoss, it is added to the relevant portfolio, and the R number of the refrigerant (e.g. R513A) will be added to the technical data of the code number.
  • Therefore, products for specific refrigerants are best checked at store.danfoss.com/en/, or by contacting your local Danfoss representative.

Q: What are the main applications of Float Valve Type SV 1 and SV 3?

A: These valves are primarily used in industrial refrigeration systems for liquid level regulation in both low and high-pressure applications.

Q: How do I determine the appropriate float valve type for my refrigeration system?

A: Select the float valve based on the specific application requirements, such as refrigerant type, media temperature range, and desired regulation capabilities.

Q: What precautions should I take when using Float Valve Type SV 1 and SV 3 in high-pressure applications?

A: Ensure proper sizing of the liquid line to prevent pressure drops that can reduce valve capacity and lead to inadvertent liquid accumulation in the condenser or receiver.
