Description
Johnson Controls V46AE-1 Pressure Actuated Water Regulating Valve
The Johnson Controls V46AE-1 is a commercial-grade, direct-acting, pressure-actuated water regulating valve engineered for use with non-corrosive refrigerants in demanding HVAC and refrigeration applications. Built with a durable cast iron body and designed for standard flow, this Style 45 valve delivers reliable, responsive condenser water flow control based on refrigerant head pressure.
Key Features
- 1-1/4″ NPT connection for straightforward installation into standard piping systems
- 70 to 260 PSI opening point range for broad compatibility across commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems
- Direct-acting, pressure-actuated design for precise, automatic water flow modulation
- Cast iron body construction for durability in commercial environments
- Standard flow configuration suitable for typical commercial condenser water circuits
- Compatible with non-corrosive refrigerants
- Includes 30″ capillary tube with 1/4″ flare nut for easy connection to the refrigerant circuit
- Style 45 design for drop-in replacement and retrofit compatibility
How It Works
The V46AE-1 senses refrigerant head pressure through its capillary connection and automatically modulates condenser water flow to maintain optimal system operating pressures. As head pressure rises, the valve opens to increase water flow; as pressure drops, the valve closes to conserve water and maintain efficiency. This automatic response helps protect compressors, improve system efficiency, and extend equipment life.
