Sporlan 903112 Pressure Control
The Sporlan 903112, also identified as the LAC-5-295HP-1/2ODF, is a non-adjustable low ambient head pressure control valve designed to maintain system stability in air-cooled condensers. In cold weather, this valve modulates to restrict liquid flow from the condenser while simultaneously bypassing hot gas into the receiver. This action backs up liquid in the condenser to reduce its effective surface area, ensuring the condensing pressure remains high enough for proper expansion valve operation. Specifically calibrated for a 295 PSI setting, the Sporlan LAC-5 utilizes high-grade brass construction and 1/2-inch ODF solder connections to prevent leaks and ensure a robust refrigerant head pressure control solution. Its 450 PSIG maximum rated pressure makes it a reliable choice for high-pressure refrigerants, preventing evaporator icing and low suction pressure during low ambient cycles. Integrating a Sporlan 903112 valve into your rack or condensing unit ensures consistent liquid line pressure and protects the compressor from oil return issues caused by low head pressure.
- Optimized Low Ambient Performance: Automatically maintains head pressure at 295 PSI, preventing expansion valve "starving" during winter operation.
- Robust Construction: Features 1/2" ODF connections with a brass bellows element and a high-strength copper joint for maximum durability.
- Universal Compatibility: Direct drop-in replacement for the LAC-5-295HP-1/2ODF, suitable for a wide range of commercial refrigeration and A/C systems.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The non-adjustable design eliminates accidental field setting drifts, ensuring the refrigeration pressure control stays within spec.
- System Protection: Reduces the risk of low suction trip-outs and evaporator coil icing in varying outdoor temperatures.
Common Questions
What is the difference between the Sporlan 903112 and the LAC-5-295HP?
These parts are functionally identical. The 903112 is the manufacturer's numerical part number for the LAC-5-295HP with 1/2" ODF connections and a 295 PSI setting.
Can this valve be used in the discharge line?
No. The LAC series should be installed in the liquid line. Internal components are not designed to handle direct compressor discharge pulsations, which can lead to premature mechanical failure.
What happens if the ambient temperature is higher than the design pressure?
During high ambient conditions, the valve remains fully open, allowing the system to operate at normal condensing pressures without restriction.
