Danfoss AFPA 2 PN 16 — a self-acting differential-pressure-relief controller (surplus differential-pressure / overflow controller). It opens the matching globe valve body via its rolling-diaphragm actuator when the differential pressure across the controlled section exceeds the spring setting, discharging surplus flow through a bypass to hold the differential 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 160 cm²; setting 1–3 bar; suits valve bodies DN 65–250. 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 "AFPA 2, PN 16, 1 bar - 3 bar, 160 cm²". OEM P/N 003G5691. Technical data quoted verbatim from store.danfoss.com (code 003G5691). 1.0345, zinc plated; diaphragm EPDM (Rolling, fibre enforced); Standard size: AFPA 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.

AFPA 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 (1–3 bar), actuator size (160 cm²) and the valve-body size range (DN 65–250). For plain pressure relief use AFA; for differential-pressure control (constant, not relief) use AFP; for pressure reduction use AFD. AFPA mounts in a bypass line. Confirm actuator size, setting range and matching valve body against the AF-range data sheet before ordering.
