Danfoss Pilot for WVS Water Regulating Valve | 2.2 to 19 bar | 016D1017

Product Description:

The WVS series valves are used in the UAE to regulate the flow of cooling water in large refrigeration and air conditioning condensers. The 016D1017 pilot monitors the refrigerant pressure and adjusts the opening of the main water valve accordingly. With a wide regulation range of 2.2 to 19 bar, it is perfectly suited for systems using R134a, R404A, and R407C. In the intense UAE summer, where maintaining stable condensing pressure is a challenge, this pilot valve ensures that water consumption is optimized—using only what is necessary to maintain system balance. Its robust design is built to withstand the high temperatures and continuous operation typical of industrial plants in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Wide Regulation Range: Covers 2.2 to 19 bar, offering flexibility across various refrigerant types and operating conditions.
• Precise Modulation: Ensures the main WVS valve opens and closes smoothly, preventing “water hammer” and maintaining constant condensing pressure.
• Compatibility: Designed to fit the entire range of WVS main valves from WVS 32 to WVS 100.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials to resist the mineral content and treatment chemicals found in UAE industrial cooling water.
• Energy & Water Efficiency: By accurately controlling water flow, it helps UAE facilities reduce water waste and lower energy costs by keeping the compressor within its ideal head pressure.

FAQs:

• Q: Can this pilot be used for R410A systems?
  • A: No, R410A typically requires a higher pressure range. For high-pressure refrigerants, you would need the pilot version with a range of up to 25 bar.
• Q: Is it necessary to replace the whole WVS valve if the regulation is failing?
  • A: Often, only the pilot valve (016D1017) needs replacement to restore accurate pressure control, saving significant costs for UAE plant owners.
• Q: Does this include the bellows assembly?
  • A: Yes, this is the complete pilot unit including the pressure sensing element.
