Has anybody encountered Sporlan Heat Reclaim and Condenser Split Valves leaking from the rubber O ring that seals the two halves of the valve body?
We have found at least five in the last year, all have been 2 1/8", some are R404a some R507 most occur after installed for around a year, short cycling of the controls doesn't appear to be a problem, the latest two I found on a site last night that has only been running for 3 months, one rack constantly on heat reclaim and condenser split to reheat store, the other cycling, both splitters pissing gas
Costing big $$$ in gas and we'll probably install around 40 or 50 of these valves next year, goodbye profits!
I reckon the material is the problem, would be better of with the white O rings used on Rotalock service valves, dont know what they are made of, maybe teflon or neoprene but they last longer than these rubber numbers.
Any others come across this? Faulty batch maybe?
