VALVES FOR REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on Castel's valves for refrigerating systems, emphasizing quality and compliance with international standards. It highlights the company's commitment to quality, certified by UNI EN ISO 9001:2008, and adherence to EEC Directives and American Quality Approval.
Certifications and Standards: Castel's products are manufactured using advanced machinery, ensuring safety and environmental compliance. The valves are suitable for HCFC and HFC refrigerants and are tested for external leakage and pressure containment, meeting standards such as EN 12284:2003 and Directive 97/23/EC.
Product Warranty: All products come with a 12-month warranty covering defects, provided the customer returns the defective item with a detailed description. The warranty excludes defects due to incorrect installation or misuse.
Check Valves: Classified as "Pressure accessories" under the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, these valves are designed for commercial and industrial systems using specific refrigerants. Key materials include hot forged brass, copper, stainless steel, and PTFE. Installation guidelines emphasize cleanliness and correct flow direction.
Hermetic Valves: Also classified under the Pressure Equipment Directive, these valves are available in two-way and three-way types, suitable for various refrigerants. Construction materials include brass, steel, and reinforced PBT.
Receiver Valves: Designed for refrigerating systems, these valves come in two-way and three-way configurations. They are made from brass and steel, with specific sealing materials for durability.
Technical Data: The document includes tables detailing valve dimensions, weights, and refrigerant flow capacities for various models, providing essential specifications for installation and operation.
Specifications: The document lists catalogue numbers, dimensions, and weights for different valves. For example, the valve with catalogue number 6591/5 has dimensions of 5/8” and a weight of 45 grams. The maximum working pressure (MWP) for some valves is specified, such as 435 psi for certain models.
Applications: The valves are designed for use with refrigerant fluids like R22, R134a, R404A, R407C, R410A, and R507, suitable for Group II applications as defined by the directive. They are used for mounting and intercepting gauges on control panels.
Construction: Valves are constructed from materials such as hot forged brass EN 12420 – CW 617N for the body, steel for the spindle, and chloroprene rubber for gland seals. Specific models include features like SAE-Flare connections and NPT or swivel SAE Flare connections for gauge mounting.
Line Piercing Valve: This type of valve provides a quick and economical means of creating a loading, outlet, or inlet point in the refrigerating system. It can be applied to copper tubes with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 10 mm and installed in any position.
Installation: The installation process involves using a threaded fork to secure the valve to the copper tube, with the needle piercing the pipe to connect the inlet with the SAE-Flare connection.
General Characteristics: The document includes tables detailing the general characteristics and dimensions of the valves, such as the 8330/A model, which has a 1/4” SAE Flare connection and is suitable for pipe diameters of 6-10 mm, with a temperature range of -10°C to +70°C.
