Danfoss 003N-6162 Valve

The Danfoss 003N-6162 is a heavy-duty AVTA 15 thermostatic water-regulating valve designed for precision temperature control in demanding cooling applications. Featuring a 1/2-inch connection and a temperature range of 77°F to 150°F, this self-acting cooling water valve operates on an open-on-rise principle, increasing flow as the sensed temperature exceeds the set point. The 2-meter (approx. 6.6 ft) capillary tube and remote sensor offer flexible mounting options, ensuring accurate thermal feedback even in tight mechanical spaces. Constructed with a robust brass body and optimized for neutral media, this Danfoss AVTA valve is a staple in hydraulic systems, vacuum pumps, and industrial compressors where consistent thermal regulation is critical. Its pressure-neutral design ensures that fluctuations in inlet pressure do not compromise the temperature set point, providing reliable industrial temperature control without the need for external power or complex actuators.

• Self-Acting Operation: Eliminates the need for electrical wiring or pneumatic controllers, reducing installation time and potential points of failure.
• Pressure Neutralization: The bellows system compensates for variations in water pressure, maintaining a consistent flow rate and temperature stability.
• Corrosion Resistance: High-grade brass construction and durable internal components ensure longevity in harsh mechanical environments.
• Field-Adjustable: The manual adjustment knob allows for precise set-point calibration in the field based on specific load requirements.
• Universal Mounting: The remote sensor can be installed in any orientation, facilitating integration into complex piping layouts.

What is the maximum pressure rating for the Danfoss 003N-6162?
This AVTA series valve is rated for a maximum pressure of 232 psi (16 bar) on the sensor and up to 145 psi (10 bar) for the working pressure, making it suitable for most high-pressure cooling loops.

Does this valve require a specific orientation for the sensor?
The sensor must be placed in a location where the medium temperature is representative of the system load. While the valve body can be oriented as needed, ensuring the sensor has full contact with the thermal source is critical for accurate thermostatic cooling.

Can this valve be used for heating applications?
No, the 003N-6162 is an "open on rise" valve, meaning it opens as temperatures increase to facilitate cooling. For heating applications, a "close on rise" valve would be required.
