Description
The Trane VAL12456 Suction Side Valve with Body is a component that is used in HVAC systems, more particularly in the suction line of refrigeration circuits. This valve is commonly known as suction side valve and its function is to regulate the flow of the refrigerant vapor that is returning to the compressor. In a functional perspective, it provides means of sealing off the compressor when it is being serviced, thereby avoiding loss of refrigerant and structural compromise of the system. When open, it allows free-flow of refrigerant and when closed it isolates the suction line. Used mostly in large commercial HVAC equipment such as chillers and rooftop systems, this valve helps in the control of system operation.
