Hello everyboy,
I discover this great website while googling for how to calculate Kv number of a valve.
I am not interested in any software, I would like to find some literature or book about it. My aim is to make my own Excel sheet.
I have not been able to find any reliable source of information for all valves: liquid line, suction line, superheated gas, etc.
Thank you very much in advanced for your help. ^^

Thank you for your response. I found this document but I still have some doubts. This document is very usefull and I learn a lot of things about the issue. However, it is a quite general document for all valves and I was looking for somethins more especific for refrigeration.
Thank you very much anyway!

Dear Brian, I really appreciate your help. Do you know any book where this issue is treated deeply?
Considering the amount of books about refrigeration, it must be a book about how to size valves with kv. I have a lot of books of refrigeration and in all of them the issue is treated briefly.
I also checked Ashrae, but they use a different methodology.
Thank you very much for your help!

Usually a valve supplier will give kv values, its up to you to select.
Danfoss Directcalc programme is good & gives options of each selection, as well as where valve in system is located ie gas, liquid or expansion device.

Brian,
Stangely enough my link works sometimes, but your copy of mine does not?
Basically if you search for kv value of control valves & a lot of information is available.

Sizing valves by Kv (or Cv) is a matter of fluids theory, related with orifice and energy conservation. Valve selection in refrigeration is a particular case of that. Please look at a couple of docs I upload , about :
