4.3 Water Regulating Valve
The water regulating valve automatically regulates the amount of fluid necessary to remove the heat
from the refrigeration system, permitting more fluid to flow when load conditions are high and less
fluid to flow when load conditions are low. The valve consists of a brass body, balance spring, valve
seat, valve disc holders, capillary tube to discharge pressure, and adjusting screw.
4.3.1 Standard Valve - 150psig (1034kPa) System for 3 & 5-Ton Units (Johnson Controls Valve)
High Pressure Valve - 350psig (2413kPa) System for 5-Ton Units (Johnson Controls Valve)
Adjustment
The valve may be adjusted with a standard refrigeration service valve wrench or screw driver.
To lower the head pressure setting, turn the square adjusting screw clockwise until the high pressure
gauge indicates the desired setting.
To raise the head pressure setting, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise until the desired
setting is obtained.
