Product Description
Danfoss KVD 12 receiver pressure controller (code 034L0171) from the Danfoss KVD range of mechanical, self-acting pressure regulating valves for commercial and light-industrial refrigeration. The KVD is a modulating receiver pressure controller installed in the hot-gas bypass to the receiver. It opens on falling receiver pressure and bypasses hot gas to the receiver to maintain a constant minimum receiver pressure, ensuring a sufficient liquid pressure to the expansion valves during low ambient operation. It works together with the KVR condensing pressure controller. This SKU has 12 mm (1/2 in) flare connections (inlet and outlet), a regulating range of 3 – 20 bar (44 – 290 psig) and a maximum working pressure of 28 bar (406 psig); media temperature range -45 to 130 C (-49 to 266 F). Compact angle-design valve with hermetic brazed construction and a stainless-steel bellows; the setpoint is adjustable on the top spindle under a sealing cap and a 1/4 in Schrader valve is provided for pressure testing. Suitable for HFC/HFO refrigerants. UL listed (C UL US), EAC and RoHS. Price on quote.

Compatibility & Fitment
Select a KVD by body size (KVD 12 / 15), connection type (flare or ODF solder) and connection size. Flare and ODF-solder versions, and inch versus metric ODF stubs, are separate code numbers with separate EANs — confirm the connection before ordering. The KVD is normally paired with a KVR condensing pressure regulator. Setpoint is adjustable on the top spindle under the sealing cap.
