Danfoss HFI 040 high pressure float valve (liquid level regulating valve), 100 mm (4 in) butt weld inlet EN 10220, 50 mm (2 in) butt weld outlet, 40 mm nozzle, 400 kW R717 rated capacity, 25 bar MWP (code 148G3092)

Danfoss HFI 040 high pressure float valve, code 148G3092, a liquid level regulating (float expansion) valve for industrial refrigeration. HFI is a high-pressure float valve with an internal liquid measuring device; it is designed for direct flange mounting or welding onto plate-heat-exchanger type condensers, and can also be mounted directly on vessels. The valve is direct acting, so no differential pressure is required to activate it: the internal float senses the condensed liquid level and meters high-pressure liquid refrigerant on to the low-pressure side, maintaining the correct liquid level in the high-pressure receiver/condenser. It is equipped with a purge valve for venting non-condensable gases (e.g. air) from the top of the valve housing, which also assists servicing. Inlet connection 100 mm (4 in) butt weld inlet EN 10220; outlet 50 mm (2 in) butt weld; nozzle (orifice) 40 mm. Rated capacity 400 kW (114 TR) on R717 (ammonia) at Temp. -10 - 35 °C; valve constant 16.79. Housing (shell and flange) is special steel approved for low-temperature application. Suitable for R717 (ammonia), HCFC and HFC refrigerants with a liquid density of 500-700 kg/m³. Maximum working pressure 25 bar (363 psig); media temperature range -50 °C to +80 °C (-58 °F to +176 °F). PED category III. CE marked; EAC (EAEU) certified.

Compatibility

Danfoss HFI 040 is selected by refrigeration capacity and condenser/receiver connection: match the nozzle (orifice) size (40 mm), inlet connection type and size (100 mm/4 in butt weld), and connection standard (EN 10220). Type suffix F = flange inlet; suffix FD / "two external connections" version adds housing connections for drainage and pressure equalization. Capacity 400 kW is rated on R717 (ammonia). Float valve inserts, purge valves and seal/gasket kits are available separately as HFI spare parts.
