Danfoss High-Pressure Pilot for WVS Water Regulating Valve | 15 to 29 bar | 016D1018
Product Description:
The 016D1018 pilot is engineered for modern, high-pressure refrigerants like R410A and R32, which are increasingly common in the UAE’s commercial and industrial cooling sectors. With a regulation range of 15 to 29 bar, this pilot monitors the high-side refrigerant pressure and precisely modulates the main WVS water valve to maintain optimal condensing conditions. In the extreme UAE climate—where ambient temperatures frequently push system pressures to their limits—this high-pressure pilot ensures that the cooling water flow is adjusted instantly to prevent high-pressure trips and maintain system efficiency. It is built to the highest industrial standards to ensure a long service life in the demanding environments of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Key Features & Benefits:
- High-Pressure Optimization: Specially calibrated for the 15–29 bar range, making it the standard choice for R410A water-cooled systems in the Middle East.
- Precise Control: Provides smooth, proportional modulation of the main valve to ensure constant condensing pressure regardless of water temperature fluctuations.
- Universal WVS Fit: Compatible with the entire range of WVS main valve bodies from WVS 32 to WVS 100.
- Robust Stainless Steel Bellows: Designed to handle high-pressure cycles without fatigue, ensuring reliable performance over years of operation.
- Water Efficiency: By accurately sensing the need for cooling, it minimizes water consumption in UAE cooling towers and process water systems.

FAQs:
- Q: Is this pilot compatible with R410A?
- A: Yes, the 15–29 bar range is specifically designed to handle the higher operating pressures of R410A and R32 systems used in the UAE.
- Q: Can I replace a 016D1017 (low pressure) with this 016D1018?
- A: Only if your system’s operating pressure falls within the 15–29 bar range. Using this on a low-pressure R134a system will result in the valve never opening.
- Q: Does this pilot require regular maintenance?
- A: The pilot itself is a sealed unit, but it is recommended to check the sensing line and the main valve diaphragm during annual maintenance in UAE facilities.
