Johnson Controls V46AC-26 Regulating Valve
The Johnson Controls V46AC-26 is a professional-grade, direct-acting water regulating valve designed specifically for maintaining stable head pressure in water-cooled condensers. Built with a rugged cast brass body, this 3/4" NPT commercial valve is optimized for systems utilizing non-corrosive refrigerants. It features an integrated Style 5 pressure element with a 1/4" external flare fitting, providing a reliable mechanical connection point for refrigeration high-side sensing without the need for additional capillary kits in many configurations.
Engineered for high-demand environments like ice machines and computer room A/C units, the V46AC-26 operates on an opening point range of 70 to 260 PSI. As a pressure-actuated modulating valve, it adjusts water flow in response to refrigerant pressure increases, preventing excessive water consumption and ensuring efficient heat transfer. The standard flow design includes a specialized pressure-balanced bellows that resists setpoint shifts caused by fluctuating water supply pressures, while the "take-apart" construction allows for internal service and seat repair without removing the valve body from the piping.
Key Benefits- Robust Pressure Modulation: Maintains consistent condensing pressure through a wide 70-260 PSI adjustable range.
- Corrosion Resistance: Cast brass construction and bellows design ensure longevity in standard commercial water and glycol applications.
- Ease of Service: Direct-acting design allows for manual flushing and internal part replacement without system pump-down.
- Hydraulic Stability: Withstands high hydraulic shock and maintains calibration even under fluctuating water inlet pressures.
- Precise Connectivity: The 1/4" external flare (Style 5) fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant sensing connection.
What is the maximum water temperature for this valve?
The V46AC-26 is rated for a maximum water temperature of 170°F (77°C), making it suitable for most standard cooling tower and loop applications.
Can this valve be used with ammonia systems?
No, this specific model is designed for non-corrosive refrigerants. For ammonia applications, a specialized version with different trim materials is required.
Is a mounting bracket included?
This specific code number (V46AC-26) typically does not include a mounting bracket; it is designed for inline pipe mounting.
