Product catalog summary
Overview of Emerson Valves and Electronic Controls
Emerson offers a comprehensive solution for refrigeration systems with its range of electrical control valves, including models EX4, EX5, EX6, EX7, and EX8. These valves are designed to manage liquid or gaseous mass flow efficiently, independent of differential pressure, ensuring stable operation even at low condensing pressures.
Specifications and Features
  • The valves feature a stepper motor for precise control and are made with solid ceramic components to ensure durability and low internal leak rates.
  • They provide a positive shut-off function, eliminating the need for additional solenoid valves, and offer a linear capacity characteristic from 10% to 100% of maximum capacity.
Energy Efficiency
Emerson's electronic control valves are optimized for energy savings, particularly under partial load conditions or varying condensing pressures. Unlike conventional thermal expansion valves, these electronic valves maintain precise and stable operation, enhancing system performance and energy efficiency.
Valve Applications
  • The valves can be used for various tasks within a refrigeration circuit, such as superheat control, suction pressure control, liquid injection, condensing pressure control, and hot gas bypass control.
  • They are compatible with all conventional refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, R-407C, R-404A, R-507, R-410A, and R-744 subcritical.
Electronic Valve Controllers
Emerson's valve controllers, such as the EC3-X33, are designed for precise superheat regulation and include features like a built-in backup battery and MOP function to protect compressors. These controllers are adaptable to various refrigerants and valve types.
Product Range and Accessories
  • The document lists various products and accessories, including universal superheat controllers, terminal kits, display units, and pressure transducers, each with specific part numbers for easy identification.
Additional Applications
For heat pumps with reversing refrigerant flow, bi-flow versions of the valves are available to manage flow in both directions, demonstrating the versatility of Emerson's solutions.

Spread idea to carry the cover look and feel throughout the brochure Save energy in industrial cooling and air conditioning processes Improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption is key in today’s air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Often systems are designed and optimized to operate at full load conditions or with fixed condensing pressures, and at these conditions both conventional and electronic control valves operate efficiently. However, under a partial load condition or varying condensing pressure (e.g. due to low ambient temperature) the condensing pressure decreases. Under...

Electrical control valve applications The refrigeration circuit in the figure on the back page demonstrates how the same type of control valve can be used for different tasks: expansion valve for superheat control, suction pressure control for capacity modulation, liquid injection for de-superheating of compressor, condensing pressure control for head pressure control and hot gas bypass control to compensate excess compressor capacity and to ensure evaporating pressure does not go below a setpoint. The same valve can be used for all conventional refrigerants (R-22, R-134a, R-407C, R-404A, R-507,...
