Ranco North America produces a family of electrically operated flow control valves which are designed to replace traditional orifice tube and expansion valve components while offering enhanced system efficiency and operation as well as passenger comfort.


APPLICATIONS

  • Use as the flow control device in automotive HVAC systems. Ranco flow control devices incorporate multiple selectable flow orifices and take the place of orifice tubes or mechanical expansion valves. They are controlled by the vehicle's ECM or other electronic control.
  • Shut-off valve with (OSOT) and without (VS8H) orifice used with rear air conditioning systems in mini-vans and sport utility vehicles to stop oil migration and compressor slugging. Control is maintained via the vehicle's ECM or other electronic control.

SPECIAL FEATURES  
  • Tighter control of superheat for improved system efficiency and greater passenger comfort. The ECM or other electronic control determines the correct refrigerant flow for the flow control to select, based on changes in either load or engine speed.
  • Pressure spikes associated with scroll compressors can be dampened, eliminating nuisance shut downs.
  • Valve materials are compatible with all new and existing automotive refrigerants and lubricants.
  • Cost effective solution, offering a lower total installed cost than traditional approaches to capacity control.
  • A wide range of flow rates and orifice sizes can be accommodated. Contact Ranco North America marketing for additional details.

VS8H Solenoid Shut-off Valve

This is a right angle refrigerant solenoid shut-off valve, used primarily in rear air conditioning applications on mini-vans and sport utility vehicles. The VS8H offers a compact size, right angle flow pattern, and standard thread sizes that make it an easy drop-in replacement for existing right angle thermal expansion valves.

OSOT Solenoid Shut-off Valve
with Orifice

The OSOT flow control valve incorporates a solenoid shut off valve that can be thermostatically controlled to provide rear-cooling control at a very reasonable total cost. It incorporates a fixed orifice which is available in a number of different sizes to accommodate different applications. The control is designed to fail in the closed mode so that the front air conditioning system is always functional

EDSOT Multiple Orifice Flow Control

The EDSOT flow control is electrically controlled by the vehicle's ECM or other electronic control. Based on engine speed and load, the flow control is directed to select the appropriate orifice size to maintain tight control of system superheat. As a result, both system efficiency and passenger comfort can be enhanced over a wide range of operating conditions.

A wide variety of orifice sizes, fittings, terminations, and other optional constructions are available.
