3-way valves with lifting stem. Stem sealing provided by metal bellows for hermetic sealing.

WVB 3-Way Valves

AWP 3-way valves are designed to be used in the refrigerant cycles of industrial refrigeration systems. They are normally installed between pressure vessels or between pressure pipes and two safety valves. AWP 3-way valves are activated by a handwheel. Turning the handwheel clockwise opens the outlet nozzle facing away from the handwheel. Thus the other outlet nozzle closes forcibly. It is therefore not possible to lock both outlets at the same time. In WVB 3-way valves the stem sealing is provided by a metal bellows which ensures a complete hermetic sealing. AWP 3-way valves are maintenance-free.

Technical Features

Available in steel or stainless steel
Selection of body material as per German DIN EN12284, AD2000 Series W
Working mediums: refrigerant as per EN 378 p. 1, e. g. NH3, R22, R134a and blends with refrigerator oil; neutral, gaseous and liquid mediums; glycol-based cold brine
Assembly is possible in any position, the flow direction should be observed
