Johnson Controls V46BR-2 Valve

The Johnson Controls V46BR-2 Valve is a heavy-duty, direct-acting pressure actuated water regulating valve engineered for demanding high-pressure applications using non-corrosive refrigerants. This model features a robust 1-1/2 inch ASME four-hole flange configuration, designed to maintain stable head pressure by modulating water flow in response to changes in the refrigerant circuit. Built for extreme environments, the NAVSEA certified housing is constructed from cast naval bronze with Monel interior parts, providing superior resistance to fatigue and internal wear. The unit operates within a 70 to 260 PSI opening point range and utilizes a Style 34 pressure element featuring a 30-inch capillary with a sweat connection. This specific model provides a reliable mechanical solution for maritime or industrial cooling systems where V46BR-2C compatibility is required, as both units share identical technical specifications and internal geometry. This valve ensures precise refrigerant head pressure control, preventing compressor overload and optimizing condenser efficiency.

• Corrosion Resistance: Engineered with cast naval bronze and internal Monel components for longevity in harsh environments.
• Broad Pressure Range: Adjustable opening point from 70 to 260 PSI accommodates various high-pressure refrigerant requirements.
• NAVSEA Certified: Meets rigorous standards for naval and maritime applications, ensuring reliable performance under high stress.
• Direct Acting Design: Mechanical actuation provides immediate response to pressure fluctuations without the need for external power.
• Universal Compatibility: Direct replacement for the V46BR-2C, fitting standard 1-1/2 inch flanged piping systems.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the V46BR-2 and the V46BR-2C?
Technically, the V46BR-2 and V46BR-2C are identical in form, fit, and function. They share the same pressure range, flange dimensions, and internal materials.

Can this valve be used with seawater applications?
Yes, the combination of naval bronze and Monel components is specifically designed to handle corrosive fluid environments, making it a standard choice for maritime cooling.

Does the V46BR-2 require a specific mounting orientation?
For optimal performance and to prevent debris accumulation in the Style 34 pressure element, it is best practice to mount the valve in a vertical position with the bellows housing pointing upwards.
