Danfoss BML 18s Shut-off Diaphragm Valve | 3/4 in (18 mm) ODF Solder

Product Description:

The Danfoss BML 18s (009G0183) is a premier choice for high-integrity refrigeration systems across the UAE. Featuring 3/4 in (18 mm) ODF solder connections, it ensures a permanent, leak-proof brazed joint that is essential for the high-vibration environments of Dubai’s commercial plant rooms. The BML series is unique for its triple stainless steel diaphragm design, which effectively isolates the refrigerant from the spindle. This prevents the common issue of spindle leakage found in traditional valves, ensuring zero external emissions and maintaining system purity. Its robust handwheel and bi-directional flow capability make it a versatile and reliable isolation point for HVAC/R professionals in the Middle East.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Triple Diaphragm Technology: Provides a superior hermetic seal at the spindle, eliminating the need for gland packing maintenance in the UAE.
• Hermetic Solder Integrity: 3/4 inch ODF connections provide a high-strength, leak-free bond suitable for permanent UAE installations.
• Low Pressure Drop: High Kv value of 2.4 $m^3/h$ ensures efficient system operation with minimal flow restriction in Dubai.
• Bi-Directional Flow: Offers maximum installation flexibility, allowing the valve to be mounted in any orientation within UAE piping layouts.
• Exceptional Durability: Crafted from high-grade brass to resist the humid and saline air common in UAE coastal regions.
