Hvac Parker Hannifin Head Pressure Regulating Valves | Lac-5-100 1-1/8″ X 1-1/8″ X 1-1/8″ Odf Head Pressure Control Valve (100 Psi)

The Lac-5 Is A Three-Way Modulating Valve But Responds To Receiver Pressure.The Receiver Pressure Acts Under The Diaphragm.As The Receiver Pressure Drops Below The Valve Setting, The Seat Moves Away From The Discharge Port Allowing Discharge Gas To Bypass The Condenser.This Discharge Gas Warms The Liquid In The Receiver And Raises The Pressure To The Valve Setting.At The Same Time Discharge Gas Is Bypassing The Condenser, Liquid Flow From The Condenser Is Restricted, Which Allows Liquid To Back Up In The Condenser.Flooding The Condenser Reduces The Area Available For Condensing Thus Raising The Condensing Pressure.During Summer Conditions, The Seat Closes The Discharge Port Due To High Pressure In The Receiver.Therefore There Is Full Liquid Flow From The Condenser To The Receiver.
