All A4Regulators are pilot operated using upstream pressure for theopening force and require a minimum 2 psi (0.14 bar) pressuredrop to fully open. These valves are generally ordered with aclose coupled upstream strainer to prevent the entrance offoreign material into the valve and the rest of the system. Thefluid temperature range for the A4 Series of Regulators is -50Fto 220F (-45C to 105C).PURPOSE:These electrically compensated A4AM inlet pressure regula-tors modulate the flow of refrigerant gas or liquid to maintain avarying upstream (or inlet) pressure in response to an electricalsignal applied to a low voltage motor mounted on a regulatorpilot. When supplied with Range D, they also can be used tocontrol condensing pressures; for example, as part of a heatreclaim system.These regulators are excellent in controlling evaporator pres-sure/temperature where load fluctuations are great, such ashot carcass chilling, warm fruit and wine chilling and coolingtunnels. They are also useful where product load is fairlyconstant but very close temperature or humidity control isdesired.When the regulator is used in a location where excessivemoisture, corrosion or explosive atmosphere exists, or in lowtemperature applications where ice could accumulate on thepilot valve stem, the A4AR with A2BM remote pilot can be used.(See Fig. 7)I S O 9 0 0 1 C E R T I F I E D310219
