Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for Danfoss Saginomiya 4-way reversing valves, which are essential in reversible applications like heat pumps and air conditioning units. These valves facilitate the inversion of the refrigeration cycle, allowing a switch between cooling and heating modes.
Specifications:
  • Application Range: The valves are suitable for a wide range of capacities and are compatible with common refrigerants such as R407C, R410A, R404A, R134a, and R22.
  • Design Features: They are designed for high reliability, featuring a unique mechanism that ensures instantaneous changeover at minimal pressure differential, prevents incomplete changeover, and minimizes leakage.
  • Approval: The valves are CE approved.
Technical Data:
  • Working Pressure: The maximum working pressure is 45 bar.
  • Ambient Temperature: The operational temperature range is from -20°C to 55°C.
  • Connection Dimensions: Various inner and outer diameters are available to meet different system requirements.
Operation Principles:
  • The valve functions by shifting a slider through differential pressure changes, which is actuated by a pilot solenoid valve.
  • The solenoid coil energizes to toggle between heating and cooling cycles, moving the pilot valve and slider accordingly.
Installation and Handling:
  • Valves can be installed either horizontally or vertically, with specific orientation guidelines for different series.
  • Ensure that pipes are clean before installation and use a strainer to prevent debris from entering the valve.
  • Avoid overheating the valve body during soldering and do not wrap the solenoid coil with thermal insulation.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that the supply voltage matches the coil's rated voltage.
  • Securely tighten the enclosure fixing bolt when mounting the solenoid coil.
  • Provide slack in wiring to prevent stress on connections.
Capacity Charts: The document includes capacity charts for different valve models under various conditions, illustrating their performance based on specific temperature settings.

The 4 way valves are used in reversible applications such as heat pumps or reversible air conditioning units and chillers. The 4 way valve allows an inversion of the refrigeration cycle, changing from cooling mode in summer to heating mode in winter. The cycle inversion is initiated by a small solenoid pilot valve, which pilots the movement of a slider, which changes the direction of the refrigerant. The valve is connected to the discharge and suction pipes. (2) condition 2: 54,4 °C condensing / 7,2°C evaporating / 5°C super-heat / 5°C sub-cooling (3) see valve style overview on page 7 (6) -...

The pilot valve ensures a very reliable changeover from cooling to heating mode; the changeover happens instantaneously with a minimum pressure differential. The valve design also guarantees a minimum pressure drop and a very low risk of leakage. The STF models offer a wide range of connection dimensions, configurations and capacity for specific applications. The standard STF models are packed as 1 pc. per box providing increased flexibility. Standard coils are water-proof (IP65)

For optimum performance of 4 - way reversing valves, observe the following recommendations and guidelines: 1. The following installation is possible for 4-way reversing valve: a. in horizontal position, the orientation of STF series 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 series should be in the range from 0o to 180o,. For the remaining valve types any orientation from 0o to 360o is possible (Fig.1 ). in vertical position, the valves can be installed in any orientation as long as the coil stem position is up (Fig. 2a). 2. Before installing, thoroughly clean the inner part of pipes to prevent dust or dirt particles...
