The BA/BN series is a balanced ported valve. Its stainless steel power element resists corrosion and prevents valve failure, and features a hermetic, leak-free construction. Can be used in limited spaces due to its compact size. Superheat control by one valve in both cooling and heating modes in heat pump applications made possible by bi-flow capability. Changes in operating pressures due to varying ambients, heat reclaim, gas defrost and widely varying evaporator loads are compensated by its balanced port construction, allowing it to function in various operating conditions. Applications include coolers, freezers, ice machines, refrigerated cases and air conditioning systems.
