Danfoss AFA 2 PN 16 — a self-acting pressure-relief controller (surplus-pressure / overflow controller). It opens the matching globe valve body via its rolling-diaphragm actuator when the controlled pressure rises above the spring setting, discharging surplus flow to hold the upstream pressure at the set maximum. The actuator carries the diaphragm and setting spring only; it combines with a Danfoss VFG 2 / VFGS 2 / VFU 2 globe valve body (ordered separately) to form a complete self-acting controller for district heating and district cooling circuits. Actuator diaphragm area 80 cm²; setting 0.5–3 bar; suits valve bodies DN 65–125. Media temperature 2 °C to 150 °C; maximum operating pressure 16 bar. Actuator housing Steel, mat. 1.0345, zinc plated; diaphragm EPDM (Rolling, fibre enforced). Medium: district heating/cooling circulation water (glycolic water up to 30%). OEM designation "AFA 2, PN 16, 0.5 bar - 3 bar, 80 cm²". OEM P/N 003G5661. Technical data quoted verbatim from store.danfoss.com (code 003G5661). 1.0345, zinc plated; diaphragm EPDM (Rolling, fibre enforced); Standard size: AFA 2; Pressure rating: PN 16; Temperature range: 2 °C to 150 °C; HS code: 8481.90. Used in commercial refrigeration, provision-room cooling and reefer plant rooms across HFC, HFO and CO2 (R744) refrigerants. No.

AFA 2 is the self-acting actuator of the Danfoss AF range; it combines with a Danfoss VFG 2 / VFGS 2 / VFU 2 globe valve body to build a complete controller. Select by pressure class (PN 16), required setting range (0.5–3 bar), actuator size (80 cm²) and the valve-body size range (DN 65–125). For differential-pressure relief use AFPA; for pressure reduction use AFD; for differential-pressure control use AFP; for flow limitation use AFQ. AFA mounts in a bypass line. Confirm actuator size, setting range and matching valve body against the AF-range data sheet before ordering.
