OFC
OFC type check and stop valve are designed for delivering a discharge solution that improves performance and reliability of oil-free centrifugal compressors with magnetic bearings by incorporating a damped check valve, while reliably and efficiently incorporating stop and diffuser functions.
Features and benefits
- Nozzle check valve closes quickly if backflow
- Gas damper and special opening characteristic prevents from violent movements in surge conditions
- Damped nozzle check valve reduces chattering noises
- Decoupled stop function from check function allows faster access and improves reliability of sealing
- Lock ring design prevents from unintentional closing of the valve
- Built-in sight glass gives direct visibility to proper valve functioning and refrigerant flow
- Built-in pressure port provides connection to high pressure cut out
- Built-in staging port on both sides to enable more flexibility in system designs and Bolt on to all TTS/TGS/TTH/TGH compressor discharge ports
- Optimized flow path enhances flow capacity with lower pressure drop and Multiple orientations possible
OFC check and stop valves
Designed to address main oil-free applications pain points, the OFC valve improves system efficiency and reliability, while reducing complexity. This patented all-in-one valve incorporates a damp nozzle check valve, a stop valve and diffuser functions. It makes a perfect fit with Danfoss Turbocor® oil-free compressors.
Product Highlights
- Low pressure drop – high system efficiency
- Performance at low flow conditions
- Able to cover different conditions for startup, closing and operating
- Prevention from reverse rotation and backflow, fast closure
- Reliability in extensive surge applications
- Protection against compressor and system limitations
- Low sound for better customer perception
- Embed 90° elbow to valve
- No leakage especially during service
- Can be put in a vertical line to save space horizontally
