Description

Based on advanced technology the new ICF control solution incorporates several functions in one housing, which can replace a series of conventional mechanical, electro-mechanical and electronically operated valves.   This solution not only provides a number of advantages in the design phase of a refrigeration plant but also in the installation, service and maintenance.   The ICF solutions are designed for low and high pressure refrigerants and can be used in liquid lines, compressor injection lines and hot gas lines.   Supplied as a complete assembly, it is leak tested at high pressure and its functions are tested under factory controlled conditions.  

Two sizes ICF housings and side port options variants - Housing for 4 modules or housing for 6 modules.  ICF-20 available with ¾" to 1-1/4" socket-weld connections.  ICF-25-40 available with 1" to 1-1/2" socket weld connections.  The ICF valve station brings together up to six functions on a single compact valve body with socket weld connections up to 1 ½ ".   Each function component is individually removable for service.   The design allows maximum capacity and minimum pressure drop by using the double seats, offering higher capacity than conventional systems that use individual valves and components.  

The followingfunctions can be fitted:

• Stop valve module
• Manual regulating valve module
• Filter module
• Solenoid valve module
• Electronic expansion valve module
• Manual opening module
• Check valve module
• Stop/check valve module
• Motor valve module
• External welding connection module
• Blank top cover

Options:

The housing can be supplied with a maximum of six or ten side ports for the following:

• Sight glass
• Temperature or pressure sensor
• Pressure gauge
• Side exit for drain or bypass.

Features

• Designed for industrial refrigeration applications for a maximum working pressure of 5 2 bar/754 psig.
• Applicable to all common non flammable refrigerants including R717, R744 (CO 2 ) and non corrosive gases/liquids dependent on sealing material compatibility.
• Direct weld connections. Connection types include butt weld, socket weld.
• Low temperature steel housing.
• Low weight and compact design.
• V-port regulating cones on the control modules ensure optimum regulating accuracy particularly at part load.
• Modular Concep - t Each housing is available with several different connection types and sizes.Valve service is performed by replacing the function module.
• Optional side ports can be specified for the connection of pressure gauges, transmitters, sight glasses etc.
