The Sporlan Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, a leader in motion and control technologies, based in Washington, Missouri, has released a new-to-market three way valve, referred to as the Modulating 3-Way Valve (MTW), for use with conventional direct expansion air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
The Modulating 3-Way Valve is designed to modulate flow of refrigerant at two ports and divert flow between two separate outlets. The product line features two sizes, the MTW-9 and MTW-17, which cover R-410A flow capacities up to 40 tons (131 kW). These valves are approved for suction, liquid and discharge line uses; including dehumidification, reheat and heat reclaim industrial applications.
