KVS 1C/2C/3C/5C

KVS Colibri® is a series of electric suction modulating valves for AC transport and refrigeration applications. Accurate temperature or pressure control is obtained by modulating the refrigerant flow in the evaporator with a current or voltage driver.The balanced design provides bi–flow operation as well as solenoid shut–off function in both flow directions at MOPD 40 bar (580 psig).
