Product details
Danfoss KVR 15 Condensing Pressure Regulator | 5.0 to 17.5 bar | 5/8 in ODF |
Product Description:
The Danfoss KVR 15 (034L0097) is an essential component for high-performance refrigeration across the UAE. By regulating the flow of refrigerant from the condenser to the receiver, it ensures that the condensing pressure remains at a constant, preset level even when ambient air temperatures drop significantly. This prevents common “low head pressure” issues in Dubai, such as erratic expansion valve behavior and insufficient cooling capacity. The KVR 15 is built with a hermetic design and an internal damping system to neutralize pressure pulsations and noise. Its robust stainless steel bellows and laser-welded construction provide unmatched durability against the high-heat and humid environments characteristic of the Middle East.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Reliable Head Pressure Control: Ensures constant system operation year-round in the UAE, preventing low-pressure trips during cooler nights.
- Versatile 5/8 in Connection: Standard 5/8 in ODF (solder) fitting makes it highly compatible with a wide range of condensing units in Dubai.
- Advanced Damping Mechanism: Effectively eliminates valve chatter and vibrations, protecting the refrigeration piping system.
- Wide Refrigerant Range: Optimized for use with R134a, R404A, R407C, R507, and other non-flammable HFC/HCFC refrigerants used in the UAE.
- Hermetic Leak Protection: Minimizes refrigerant loss and maintenance needs thanks to its high-quality, permanent seal.

FAQs:
- Q: Is the KVR 15 compatible with 15mm or 16mm copper pipes in the UAE?
- A: Yes, the 5/8 in connection is essentially equivalent to 16mm, which is the standard pipe size for many mid-sized cooling installations in Dubai.
- Q: Can I adjust the pressure setting while the system is running?
- A: Absolutely. You can fine-tune the KVR 15 onsite in the UAE by turning the adjustment screw and monitoring your pressure gauges.
- Q: What happens if I don’t use a KVR 15 in a Dubai project?
- A: Without it, seasonal temperature drops can cause the head pressure to fall, leading to poor cooling and potential system downtime during the winter months.
