Sporlan subcooling valve

[BESC5240]

Hi ,

does anyone have something on this valve. It seems to be used in milk cool tanks (Mueller?) and some AC/HP application.
I have googled but was not able to find anything. (only Sporlan types BS and CS ?). The sporlan/parker website did not help eather.
A data sheet or even a few words on it's working principle are very welcome.
thanks.
B.

Do you have any form of identification on the valve ?

I can only find BS an CS as well....

I do not have such a valve. I just got a customer requesting such a valve. He claim:
- it is used on the condensor outlet of a (Mueller) milk cool tank cooling unit,
- it should save about 8 % energy (?????)

I don't know what the valve looks like, neither how it works, neither how it helps to save 8 % energy ...

Prof Sporlan briefly mmentions this valve in this post:

Found this pdf, is that what you are looking for?

Check the ORAR valve.

The info Chemi provided is the only thing I can think of. It is essentially a three way valve that controls head pressure by flooding the condenser with liquid refrigerant. That would provide subcooling, but it also limits the ability of the discharge pressure to be reduced.

I believe these valves are non-adjustable and must be selected for the refrigerant.

Just got by email all the info from Mueller.
Interesting little valve, works lite TEV, fully adjustable, senses the temperature on the liquid line between the condenser and the receiver.

I will try to "cut" the relevant part from that pdf and post it here.

I hope to get soon the model and manufacture name and post all the info here.

I think Sporlan is behind it.
