Self-Contained. Self-Cleaning. Manual-Opening.

HT Series High Side Floats

These carefully designed and manufactured high-pressure float drain regulators are ideal for metering high-pressure refrigerant liquid to a lower-pressure vessel without allowing refrigerant gas to pass. These self-contained, nonelectrical float drain regulators provide a simple solution for many applications. Liquid and gas enter the valve inlet and collect in the valve body. As the liquid level rises, it lifts the float ball assembly exposing the slide valve orifice and metering liquid to the outlet.
  • Self-contained, no separate pilot
  • Low friction, self-cleaning slide block
  • Simple, reliable design
  • Manual-opening stem
  • Easy installation

Applications

These float drain regulators are specifically designed for refrigeration systems. They are suitable for ammonia, R22, R134a, and other Hansen-approved refrigerants. They can be used as outlined below.

High Side Floats

The HT100, HT200, and HT300 high side floats (float drain regulators) are typically used to drain condensers to chillers, recirculators, controlled pressure receivers, or flooded evaporators; to drain hot gas supply mains; or to drain liquid condensate from heat reclaim coils.

Defrost Drainers

The HD101 defrost drainer, a variation of the HT100 high side float, has an adjustable vent valve bypass to fine-tune individual systems which may experience evaporator defrost gas binding. It is designed as a liquid condensate drain for an evaporator during hot gas defrost. It drains liquid while preventing most hot gas from flowing to the suction line. This process saves energy by eliminating artificial loading of the compressor.
