of t he Council, of 27 January 2003, on t he rest rict ion of t he use of
cert ain hazardous subst ances in elect rical and elect ronic equipment
listed in the Annex of the same Directive;
among these applications the following
exceptions are par ticularly interesting in air
conditioning / refrigerating systems:
Lead as an alloying element in steel
containing up to 0,35% lead by weight,
aluminium containing up to 0,4% lead by
weight and as a copper alloy containing up to
4% lead by weight
Hexavalent chromium as an anti-corrosion of
the carbon steel cooling system in absorption
refrigerators
The Member States of European Community had
to adopt the two Directives 2002/ 95/ EC and
2002/ 96/ EC, with the next updating
2003/ 108/ EC, before 13 August 2004, unless
delays granted by the European Parliament.
For a long time Castel Company has star ted a
careful inquir y, together with its suppliers, to
identify the presence or not of the above-
mentioned hazardous substances, either in its
own products or in its own production
processes, and to remove them progressively.
At the end of this wide examination Castel
Company may declare that its products:
1. Do not contain mercur y, cadmium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBB),
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
2. Do not contain hexavalent chromium, used for
the sur face treatments (yellow zinc plating) of
steel par ts. Castel Company has removed the
yellow zinc plating treatments from all its
products, before the end of 2005, and has
chosen:
other sur face treatments containing trivalent
chromium instead of hexavalent chromium.
where possible, other materials which don t
need sur face treatments.
3. Contain lead as an alloying element in steel,
aluminium and copper alloys within the
accepted limits according to the Annex of
RoHS Directive.
The purpose of Directive 2002/ 95/ EC (RoHS
Directive) is to prevent or restrict the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment and to contribute to the
environmentally sound recover y and disposal of
waste electrical and electronic equipment.

and cans
Ar ticle 10 of WEEE Directive establishes that,
from 13 August 2005, new electrical and
electronic equipment put on the market are
appropriately identified as waste subject to
separate collection, by means of the proper
symbol shown in Annex IV of the same Directive.
Ar ticle 4 of RoHS Directive establishes that,
from 1 July 2006, new electrical and electronic
equipment put on the market does not contain
the following substances:

The correct select ion of a component is based
on t he knowledge of t he relat ionship bet ween

Gas charge: t he behaviour of valves wit h gas
charge will be det ermined by t he lowest
t emperat ure at any par t of t he expansion valve
(t hermost at ic element , capillar y t ube or bulb). If
any par t s ot her t han t he bulb are subject ed t o
t he lowest t emperat ure, malfunct ion of
expansion valve may occur (charge migrat ion).
Cast el t hermost at ic expansion valves wit h gas
charge always feat ure MOP funct ions and
include ballast ed bulb. Ballast in t he bulb has a
damping ef fect on t he valve regulat ion and
leads t o slow opening and fast closure of t he
valve.
MOP (Maxi mum Operat i ng Pressure): t his
funct ionalit y limit s t he evaporat or pressure t o a
maximum value t o prot ect t he compressor from
t he overload condit ion (Mot or Overload
Prot ect ion). MOP is t he evaporat ing pressure at
which t he expansion valve will t hrot t le liquid
inject ion int o t he evaporat or and t hus prevent
t he evaporat ing pressure from rising. Expansion
valve operat es as superheat cont rol in normal
working range and operat es as pressure
regulat or wit hin MOP range. The MOP point will
change if t he fact or y superheat set t ing of t he
expansion valve is changed. Superheat
adjust ment s influence t he MOP point as
following:
increase of superheat
decrease of MOP
decrease of superheat

Superheat : t his is t he cont rolling paramet er of
t he expansion valve. Superheat , measured at
t he evaporat or out let , is defined as t he
dif ference bet ween act ual bulb t emperat ure
and t he evaporat ing t emperat ure, deduce from
evaporat or pressure. In order t o prevent liquid
refrigerant from ent ering t he compressor, a
cer t ain minimum superheat must be
maint ained. In expansion valve operat ion t he
following t erms are used:
St at ic superheat : it s t he superheat above
t hat t he valve will begin t o open. Cast el
t hermo expansion valves are fact or y preset
at t he following values:
5 C for Cast el valves wit hout MOP
4 C for Cast el valves wit h MOP
with nominal operating conditions (see table 2)

Subcool i ng: it s defined as t he dif ference
bet ween t he condensing t emperat ure (deduced
from condensing pressure) and t he act ual
t emperat ure at inlet valve. Subcooling generally
increases t he capacit y of refrigerat ion syst em
and may be account ed for when dimensioning
an expansion valve. Depending on syst em
design, subcooling may be necessar y t o
prevent flash gas from forming in t he liquid
line. If flash gas forms in t he liquid line, t he
capacit y of expansion valve will be great ly
reduced. All capacit y t ables, in t his chapt er, are
calculat ed for a subcooling value of 4 C; if t he

SELECTION
To correct ly select a t hermo expansion valve on
a refrigerat ing syst em, t he following design
condit ions must be available:
Type of refrigerant
Evaporat or capacit y, Q

PWM SOLENOID EXPANSION VALVE WITH
INTERCHANGEABLE ORIFICE
APPLICATION
Solenoid expansion valve Cast el t ype 2028
regulat es t he refrigerant flow int o t he
evaporat or by modulat ing t he opening t ime
phase of t he plug and so permit t ing a wide
range of power.
This valve must be used wit h a coil t ype HM4
(see t able 2), cont rolled by an elect ronic
regulat or device (not supplied by Cast el).
This valve is most frequent ly used in
refrigerat ion syst ems, in par t icular refrigerat ed
cabinet s in t he supermarket , which use
refrigerant fluids proper t o t he Group II (as
defined in Ar t icle 9, Sect ion 2.2 of Direct ive
97/ 23/ CE, and referred in Direct ive
67/ 548/ CE).
OPERATION
Valve t ype 2028 is a laminat ion device t hat
receives liquid from t he condenser and inject s
it int o t he evaporat or, operat ing t he necessar y
pressure drop across t he expansion orifice.
It s an ON/ OFF valve t hat must be regulat ed
wit h t he Pul se Wi dt h Modul at i on (PWM)
met hod and it can be act uat ed by a ver y simple
elect ronic cont roller. In according t o t he PWM
met hod, t he evaporat or refrigerant capacit y Q
T
,
required in a fixed period T , is delivered by
t he valve in a t ime int er val t , shor t er t han
T . During t he period t t he valve opens and
permit s maximum flow (ON phase); in t he
remaining period T-t t he valve closes wit h no
flow (OFF phase).
For an ef fect ive PWM regulat ion, t he valve must
be sized in such a way t hat in t he hardest
condit ions of t he syst em, t he orifice of t he
valve is big enough t o deliver t he refrigerant
request ed; in t hese ext reme condit ions t he
valve will last opened for t he ent ire period T .
The use of an elect ronic regulat or allows a
more accurat e met ering of t he refrigerant
reaching a great er ef ficiency (and t hen a
sensible decrement of t he machiner y
management cost s) and a fast er response t o
t he variat ions of t he evaporat ion load.
CONSTRUCTION
Valve is supplied complet e wit h it s orifice; t here
are seven dif ferent orifices corresponding t o
seven dif ferent evaporat or capacit ies , t hat
increase passing from orifice 01 t o orifice 07.
The orifices are int erchangeable and can be
mount ed even if t he valve is soldered on t he
syst em; in t his case use t he corresponding
spare par t s kit , in according t o t able 3.
The main par t s of t he valves are made wit h t he
following mat erials:
Hot forged brass EN 12420 CW 617N for
body and t he housing pipe of t he mobile plug
Copper t ube EN 12735-1 Cu-DHP for solder

Tables 1 and 4 show t he following funct ional
charact erist ics of a solenoid valve:
PS;
TS;
Kv fact or;
minimum Opening Pressure Dif ferent ial
(minOPD), t hat is t he minimum pressure
dif ferent ial bet ween inlet and out let at which
a solenoid valve, pilot operat ed, can open
and st ay opened;
maximum Opening Pressure Dif ferent ial
(MOPD according t o ARI STANDARD 760:
2001), t hat is t he maximum pressure
a solenoid valve, pilot operat ed, can open.
Before connect ing t he valve t o t he pipe it is
advisable t o make sure t hat t he refrigerat ing
syst em is clean. In fact t he valves wit h P.T.F.E.
gasket s are par t icularly sensit ive t o dir t and
debris.
Fur t hermore check t hat t he flow direct ion in t he
pipe corresponds t o t he arrow st amped on t he
body of t he valve.
All valves can be mount ed in what ever posit ion
except wit h t he coil point ing downwards.
The brazing of valves wit h solder connect ions
should be carried out wit h care, using a low
melt ing point filler mat erial. It is not necessar y
t o disassemble t he valves before brazing but
it s impor t ant t o avoid direct cont act bet ween
t he t orch flame and t he valve body, which could
be damaged and compromise t he proper
funct ioning of t he valve.
Before connect ing a valve t o t he elect rical
syst em, be sure t hat t he line volt age and
frequency correspond t o t he values marked on
t he coil.
The NO valves have been designed t o work only
wit h direct current coils.
To use t hem in applicat ions wit h 220/ 230 VAC
suplly it s necessar y t o mat e t he NO valve wit h
t he following component s:
Coil 9120/ RD6 +
Connect or/ Rect ifier 9150/ R45
APPLICATIONS
The solenoid valves, shown in t his chapt er, are
classified Pressure accessories in t he sense
of t he Pressure Equipment Direct ive 97/ 23/ EC,
Ar t icle 1, Sect ion 2.1.4 and are subject of
Ar t icle 3, Sect ion 1.3 of t he same Direct ive.
They are designed for inst allat ion on
commercial refrigerat ing syst ems and on civil
and indust rial condit ioning plant s, which use
97/ 23/ EC and referred t o in Direct ive
67/ 548/ EEC).
OPERATION
The valves series 1020; 1028; 1050; 1058;
1059; 1064; 1068; 1070; 1078; 1079; 1090;
1098; 1099 are normally closed.
NC = when t he coil is de-energised t he plunger
st ops t he refrigerant flow.
The valves series 1150; 1158; 1164; 1168;
1170; 1178;1190; 1198 are normally open.
NO = when t he coil is energised t he plunger
st ops t he refrigerant flow.
The valves series 1020 and 1028 are direct
act ing, while t he valves of all t he ot her series
are pilot operat ed, wit h diaphragm or pist on.
The NC valves are supplied eit her wit hout coil
(S t ype) or wit h coil (example: A6 t ype wit h coil
HM2220 Vac).
The NO valves are supplied only wit hout coil (S
t ype).
N.B.: t he NO valve visually dif fers from t he
corresponding NC model by means of t he red
ring inst alled below t he yellow nut t hat fast ens
t he coil.

box too.
The junction box type 9155/ R01 of fers a
protection degree IP65/ IP68 against dust and
water, according to EN 60529, when correctly
installed with the proper gaskets, which are
supplied as standard.
The junction box 9150/ R45 is equipped with a
full-wave bridge rectifier plus VDR for protection.
The VDR device, Voltage e-Dependent-Resistor, is
a special type of resistor, placed in parallel to the
coil; its purpose is to protect the diodes and the
coil from any excessive voltage generated within
the ac supply circuit.
WARNING: t he junct ion box 9150/ R45 must be
solely used wit h coils 9120/ RD6 (220 VRAC).
The wrong use of t hese junct ion boxes wit h
ot her t ypes of Cast el coils t akes quickly t o t he
dest ruct ion of t he coil.
The junction boxes 9150, DIN 43650
standardized, represent an ef fective system for
the connection of the coil to the supply circuit,
thus ensuring safety also in the presence of
moisture.
These junction boxes, according to assembly
requirements, allow choosing the position of outer
casing compared to inner terminal block. The
clamping screw of casing may be PG9 or PG11,
which are respectively suitable for cables with an
external diameter of 6 8 or
8 10 mm. Cables sized 3 x 0,75 mm

are to be
preferred.
The junction box type 9900 is available with
cabled core of dif ferent length. In this case,
it is not possible to change the position of casing
compared to terminal block.
Both the two types of fer a protection degree IP65
against dust and water, according to
EN 60529, when correctly installed with the
proper gaskets, which are supplied as standard.
Castel has developed a specific junction box, type
9155/ R01, suitable for use on those refrigerating
systems working in heavy duty environments, for
example:
exposition to the atmospheric conditions;
rooms with high moisture degree;
cyclic condensing / evaporating on the valve;
cyclic icing / defrosting on the valve.
This junction box, according to assembly
requirements, allows choosing the side position of
outer casing compared to inner terminal block; but
it is not possible to point the cable upwards. The

SOLENOID VALVES FOR DIFFERENT FLUIDS
APPLICATION
Castel supplies to its customers the permanent
magnet code 9900/ X91 for the normally closed
solenoid valves, shown in this chapter.
This product can be used during brazing of the
valve copper connections to the plant pipes;
slipping it on the armature, instead of the coil, it
allows the protective gas (nitrogen) flowing and
avoids any damage to the plunger gasket and to
the diaphragm.

Table 1 shows t he following funct ional
charact erist ics of a solenoid valve:
PS;
TS;
Kv fact or;
minimum Opening Pressure Dif ferent ial
(minOPD), t hat is t he minimum pressure
a solenoid valve, pilot operat ed, can open
and st ay opened;
maximum Opening Pressure Dif ferent ial
(MOPD according t o ARI STANDARD 760:
2001), t hat is t he maximum pressure
a solenoid valve, pilot operat ed, can open.
Before connect ing t he valve it is advisable t o
make sure t hat t he piping are clean and t hat
t he flow direct ion in t he pipe corresponds t o
t he arrow st amped on t he body of t he valve.
All valves can be mount ed in what ever posit ion
except wit h t he coil point ing downwards.
Before connect ing a valve t o t he elect rical
syst em, be sure t hat t he line volt age and
frequency correspond t o t he values marked on
t he coil.

AIR CAPACITY
Table 2 provides t he values of air capacit y
under t he following condit ions:
t emperat ure at valve inlet = 20 C;
discharge pressure (absolut e) = 1 bar;
Kv of the valve under consideration = 1 m
3
/ h.
The pressures upst ream t he valve specified in
t he t able are absolut e values.
EXAMPLE
Select t he valve suit able for use wit h
approximat ely 200 m
3
/ h of air, assuming an
absolut e pressure of 8 bars at valve inlet
( = 7 bars of relat ive pressure + 1 bar) and an
accept able pressure drop across t he valve of
1,5 bars.
In t he column of pressures upst ream t he valve,
t he value 8 is shown; where t his column
int ersect s t he horizont al column relat ing t o t he
pressure drop of 1,5, t he value of 87 m
3
/ h is
shown. This is t he capacit y value of a
hypot het ical valve wit h Kv = 1 working under
t he above ment ioned condit ions.
200 / 87 = 2,29
This is t he Kv value required in t he case under
considerat ion.
In Table 1, select t he valve wit h t he Kv value
nearest t o 2,29, rounding of f t he value and
subsequent ly checking t hat all t he
charact erist ics of t he select ed valve
(max. opening pressure dif ferent ial,
t emperat ure, connect ions, et c.)
are suit able.
When t he viscosit y of t he liquid is expressed as
dynamic viscosit y, i.e. cP, where:
1cP = 10
-3
N sec/ m

t he corresponding value of cinemat ic viscosit y
in cSt is obt ained by t he following relat ion:
where:
= cinemat ic viscosit y [cSt ];
= dynamic viscosit y [cP];
= volumic mass of t he fluid at t he
considered t emperat ure [kg/ dm
3
].
Moreover, t he fluid viscosit y may remarkably
var y according t o changes in t emperat ure.
Therefore, if t he t emperat ure of t he fluid does
not ensure viscosit y values compat ible wit h t he
correct operat ion of t he valve, t he valve may
not open.

SAFETY VALVES 3060
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Valves series 3060 are safet y devices
according t o t he definit ion given in Ar t icle 1,
Point 2.1.3, 2nd dash of 97/ 23/ EC Direct ive
and are t he subject of Ar t icle 3, Point 1.4 of
aforesaid Direct ive.
The valves above ment ioned are st andard t ype,
unbalanced, direct -loaded safet y valves. Valve
opening is produced by t he t hrust t he fluid
under pressure exer t s on t he disc, when said
t hrust exceeds, under set t ing condit ions, t he
opposing force of t he spring act ing on t he disc.
Valves are ident ified by means of:
a model number formed of an
alphanumerical coding t hat includes:
in t he first par t t he family ident ificat ion
(e.g. 3060/ 45C);
in t he second par t t he set t ing pressure,
expressed in bars, mult iplied by 10 (e.g.
140);
an alphanumerical serial number.
CONSTRUCTION
Body: squared, obt ained t hrough die forging
and subsequent machining. It houses t he
following element s:
t he nozzle wit h flat sealing seat ;
t he disc guide;
t he set t ing spring holder;
t he t hreaded seat of t he set t ing adjust ing
ring nut .
In t he body, above t he disc guide, a small
pressure relief duct is provided t hrough which
t he spring holder is put int o cont act wit h t he
out put connect ion. For t his reason, during
relief, no gas leak occurs int o t he at mosphere.
Di sc: obt ained t hrough bar machining and
equipped wit h gasket , it ensures t he required
sealing degree on t he valve seat . The gasket is
made in P.T.F.E. (Polyt et rafluoret hylene), a
mat erial t hat , during valve est imat ed ser vice
life, maint ains a good st rengt h and does not
cause t he disc t o st ick on t he seat . The disc is
properly guided in t he body and t he guide
act ion can never fail; t here are no glands or
ret aining rings t hat hamper t he movement
t hereof.
Spri ng: it opposes t he pressure and t he fluid
dynamic act ions and always ensures valve re-
closing aft er pressure relief.

INSTALLATION
The valves can be inst alled in any sect ion of a
refrigerat ing syst em, where it is necessar y t o
avoid an inversion of t he refrigerat ing flow, in
compliance wit h t he limit s and capacit ies
indicat ed in t able 3.
Table 1 shows t he following funct ional
charact erist ics of a check valve:
PS;
TS;
Kv fact or;
minimum opening pressure dif ferent ial, t hat
is t he minimum pressure dif ferent ial
bet ween inlet and out let at which a check
valve can open and st ay opened.
Before connect ing t he valve t o t he pipe it is
advisable t o make sure t hat t he refrigerat ing
syst em is clean. In fact t he valves wit h P.T.F.E.
gasket s are par t icularly sensit ive t o dir t and
debris. Fur t hermore check t hat t he flow
direct ion in t he pipe corresponds t o t he arrow
st amped on t he body of t he valve.
The allowed operat ing posit ions are:
t ypes 3122 and 3142 wit h horizont al axis
and valve cover facing upward;
t ypes 3182 wit h inlet facing down and t he
valve cover facing upward;
t ypes 3110, 3130 and 3131, preferably wit h
ver t ical axis and arrow upward. Sloping axis,
up t o horizont al posit ion, are t olerable.
The brazing of valves wit h solder connect ions
should be carried out wit h care, using a low
melt ing point filler mat erial. Before st ar t ing t o
braze, it s necessar y t o disassemble t he valves
series 3122, while t his operat ion is not
necessar y wit h solder connect ion valves. In any
case, it s impor t ant t o avoid direct cont act
bet ween t he t orch flame and t he valve body,
which could be damaged and compromise t he
proper funct ioning of t he valve.
APPLICATIONS
The check valves, shown in t his chapt er, are
67/ 548/ EEC).
For heavy dut y, about t he operat ion
t emperat ure, for example inst allat ion on t he
discharge line close t o t he compressor, Cast el

APPLICATIONS
The wat er regulat ing valve, employed wit h
condenser fed wit h eit her main or well wat er,
keeps t he condensat ion pressure const ant at
t he previously set value by adjust ing t he wat er
flow so as t o ensure a balanced heat exchange
under all condit ions.
At plant st ar t -up, t his adjust ment is designed t o
allow t he t hermost at ic valve t o rapidly reach
normal operat ing condit ions and subsequent ly,
during operat ions, t o avoid excessive pressure
increases or decreases under dif ferent flow
condit ions. An excessive rise of high pressure
af fect s t he refrigerat ing capacit y of t he syst em.
On t he ot her side, pressure lowering leads t o
insuf ficient refrigerant feeding of t he evaporat or
wit h a consequent increased gas overheat ing
and parallel reduct ion of gas pressure at
compressor suct ion.
Cast el valves are appropriat e for refrigerant
fluids HCFC and HFC and only for main and well
wat er.
OPERATIONS
The moving element s of t he valve are a met al
bellows and a shut t er.

spring, t he valve progressively opens in line
wit h t he increasing condensat ion pressure, and
closes when t his pressure decreases.
When t he compressor st ops, t he valve closes:
wat er is no longer fed int o t he condenser, t his
being a not able operat ing economy.
Valve set t ing is per formed in t he works at a

(valid for R134a at a t emperat ure of
condensat ion of 30 C);
let t er B equivalent t o about 14 bar
(valid for R404A, R407C and R507 at a

When t he point of int ersect ion of pressure
dif ferent ial t hrough t he valve and flow range is
wit hin t he area bet ween t he cur ves of t wo
valves, select t he valve wit h larger diamet er.
When t he valve is complet ely closed, t he
pressure must be t he same as t he refrigerant
sat urat ion pressure at t he air t emperat ure of
t he place where t he condenser is inst alled.
When t he valve begins t o open, t he pressure is
about 0,2 bar above t he pressure when t he
valve is t ot ally closed.
The pressure drop corresponding t o t he wat er
flow rat e specified above in t he
condenser/ piping circuit , wit h t he exclusion of
t he wat er regulat ing valve, is about
2,5 bar.
The wat er regulat ing valve has t his pressure
dif ferent ial at it s disposal:
p = 3 2,5 = 0,5 bar
At p = 0,5 bar t he 3210/ 04 valve, complet ly
opened, ensures t he required flow rat e

CONSTRUCTION
New liquid indicat ors, series 38, and new
liquid/ moist ure indicat ors, series 39, are
manufact ured in a t ot al hermet ic const ruct ion
t o avoid any possible refigerant leaks. The
glass lens , wit h it s proper gasket , is housed
int o t he brass body and is fixed in t his seat
wit h a edge calking operat ion.
The main par t s of t he indicat ors are made wit h
body;
connect ions;
Glass for lens;
PTFE for out let seal gasket s;
Liquid/ moist ure indicat ors series 3770, 3771,
3780 and 3781 are manufact ured wit h t he
glass lens direct ly fused ont o a st eel met allic
ring, wit h proper sur face prot ect ion.
APPLICATIONS
The indicators, shown in this chapter, are
classified Pressure accessories in the sense
of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/ 23/ EC,
Ar ticle 1, Section 2.1.4 and are subject of
Ar ticle 3, Section 1.3 of the same Directive.
The indicators series 3780 are excluded from
the scope of Directive 97/ 23/ EC, as specified in
the Guidelines 1/ 8 and 1/ 9, because they are
piping components.
They are designed for installation on commercial
refrigerating systems and on civil and industrial
conditioning plants, which use refrigerant fluids
proper to the Group II
(as defined in Ar ticle 9, Section 2.2 of Directive
97/ 23/ EC and referred to in Directive
67/ 548/ EEC).
Liquid indicators and moisture liquid indicators
ensure a fast and safe inspection of the
conditions of the refrigerant fluid in the circuit
concerning regular flow and moisture. Liquid
indicators also ensure inspection of the regular
return of oil to the compressor crankcase.
OPERATION
The moist ure/ liquid indicat ors consist of a
sensit ive element as a ring, which changes
color passing from green t o yellow according t o
t he percent age of moist ure in t he syst em. The
dat a of moist ure cont ent , shown in t able 1 wit h
t he green color, can be considered
admissible for t he proper working of t he
syst em. When t he sensit ive element from green

using a low melt ing point filler mat erial. In any
case, avoid direct cont act bet ween t he t orch
flame and t he indicat or body or glass, wich
could be damaged and compromise t he proper

INSTALLATION
At t he st ar t -up t he color of t he sensit ive
element may be yellow, due t o exposure t o air

t he moist ure of t he refrigerant is brought back
t o accept able levels wit h t he dehydrat or, t he
indicat or color is once again green. This is
evidence t hat equilibrium has been re-
st ablished. In case of persist ing yellow,
measures have t o be t aken t o eliminat e

EXAMPLE OF SELECTION
Syst em dat a:
Refrigerant : R407C
Condensing t emperat ure: + 50 [C]
Weight of refrigerant : 34 [kg]
According t o DIN 8949:2000, t he adsorpt ion
capacit y of t he drier is given by:
(1.050 50) x 34 / 1.000 = 34 g of H
2
O
where:
1.050 ppm. = moist ure in t he refrigerant
ent ering t he filt er according t o DIN 8949:2000
50 ppm. = moist ure in t he refrigerant flowing
out t he filt er according t o DIN 8949:2000
Comparing t he absorpt ion capacit y required
wit h t he values shown in t able 2, drier
mod.4032 should be select ed, wit h a wat er
absorpt ion capacit y of 47,5 g at 50 C.
If t he dehydrat ing capacit y of product s is
expressed in wat er drops, it must be
remembered t hat :
1g H
2
O = 20 wat er drops
In t his case and when a molecular sieve drier is
select ed, t he following result is obt ained:
34 x 20 = 680 wat er drops.
If moist ure exceeds t he values specified in DIN
8949:2000, a drier wit h a higher adsorpt ion
capacit y shall be select ed.

FILTER DRIERS WITH REPLACEABLE ANTI-ACID
SOLID CORE
Approved by Underwri t ers Laborat ori es
Inc.
Except filt ers 4423/ 17A, / 21A, / 25A and
4424/ 25A, / 33A
APPLICATIONS
The filt ers, shown in t his chapt er, are classified
Pressure vessels in t he sense of t he
Pressure Equipment Direct ive 97/ 23/ EC,
67/ 548/ EEC).
OPERATIONS
In t he case of filt ers wit h more t han one block,
t he passage of t he fluid t akes place in parallel;
as a result , t he pressure drop does not
increase propor t ionat ely t o t he number of
blocks. A large ring bet ween t he block and t he
inner sur face of t he filt er permit s t he
accumulat ion of solid par t icles, and prevent s
clogging. Before leaving t he filt er, t he
refrigerant fluid must pass t hrough t he mesh
sieve on which blocks are mount ed. The danger
t hat small par t icles of dehydrat ing mat erial
being int roduced int o t he syst em is t hus
avoided. Fur t hermore, at filt er out let , a plast ic
cup, t he edge of which closely adheres t o t he
inner sur face of t he filt er, prevent s dir t from
reaching t he out let connect ion during normal
operat ion and block change.
CONSTRUCTION
The filt ers t ype 4410 are manufact ured in st eel,
wit h t he except ion of t he connect ions which are
made of EN 12735-1 Cu-DHP copper t ube.
The filt ers t ype 4420 are complet ely
manufact ured in st eel and solder connect ion,
are machined wit h a st eel bar EN 10025
S355JR.
The blocks series 4490 and 4491 has been
developed for specific inst allat ions on
refrigerat ing syst ems using HFC refrigerant
fluids, par t icularly R134a, R404A, R407C,
R410A ed R507 mixed wit h polyolest er
lubricant s. In spit e of t his, t he new block may
be successfully used also in refrigerat ing
95
The manufact uring process of blocks series
4490 and 4491 gives a considerable
compact ed ness and st out ness t o bot h t he
product s so t hat t hey are resist ant t o shocks
and abrasions.
The blocks series 4490 have a volume of 48
cu.in., equivalent t o approx. 800 cm
3
, and it is
used wit h t ype 4411, 4412, 4413 and 4414
filt ers.
The block series 4491 has a volume of 96
cu.in., equivalent t o approx. 1600 cm
3
. and it is
used wit h t ype 4421, 4423 and 4424 filt ers.
The t wo blocks are shaped as a hollow cylinder
and t heir overall dimensions correspond t o
t hose of ot her int ernat ional brands.
Consequent ly t hey are int erchangeable. The
hollow cylinder shape of fers a large sur face
area t o t he inflowing fluid, which crosses t he
block in radial sense. As a result , dehydrat ion
is highly ef ficient wit h a minimum loss of
charge.
Filt ers may be supplied also wit h an access
fit t ing kit G9150/ R05, t o be ordered
separat ely.

Blocks must be ordered separat ely from t he
filt er. They are supplied in individual packages,
which are hermet ically sealed in suit able
wrappings (t ype 4490), and in special bags
(t ype 4491) for safe st orage over long periods
of t ime.
Ever y car t ridge is equipped of t wo seals in
synt het ic mat erial t o use like seal bet ween t he
t wo car t ridges and bet ween t he car t ridge and
it s covers.
If t he filt er is inst alled in a syst em wit hout any
by-pass, t he block replacement has t o be done
following t hese inst ruct ions:
1 Close t he valve on t he depar t ing line.
2 St ar t t he compressor and it s auxiliaries in
order t o t ransfer t he refrigerant charge int o
t he high pressure side of t he plant (liquid
receiver).
3 St op t he compressor at a suct ion pressure
suf ficient ly higher t han t he at mospheric
pressure.
4 Shut t of f t he ser vice valve at t he suct ion
side of t he compressor.
NOTE: if during t he t ransfer of t he refrigerant
t o t he high-pressure side of t he plant , t he
discharge pressures reach t oo high values
(t he condenser is flooded due t o insuf ficient
capacit y of t he liquid receiver), shut of f t he
valve on t he compressor suct ion side and
st op immediat ely t he compressor.
5 Replace quickly t he filt er block. During t he
preparat ion of t he new block, close t he filt er
wit h a clean clot h. The slight over-pressure
inside t he filt er and t he abilit y of t he
t echnician will prevent air from get t ing int o

SELECTION CRITERION
Wit h clean syst ems, refrigerant flow capacit y
and pressure drops of t able 2 are repor t ed t o a
gas speed of 20 m/ s for pipes adequat e t o t he
filt er connect ions.
For refrigerant flow capacit ies dif ferent from t he
t able values, under t he ot her same condit ions,
gas speeds and relat ive pressure drops
t hrough t he filt er can be gained for simple
propor t ionalit y.
EXAMPLE

Refrigerant : R407C
Refrigerant flow capacit y: 130 [kW]
Evaporat ing t emperat ure: + 5 [C]
Suct ion pipe: 2.1/ 8
Filt er: 4411/ 17C
In t able 2, corresponding t o filt er t ype
4411/ 17C refrigerant and evaporat ing

refrigerant flow capacit y = 141,7 [kW];
pressure drop = 0,21 [bar].
The gas speed in t he suct ion line will be:

Pressure drop t hrough t he filt er:
[bar]
Remember t hat t he dimensioning of t he suct ion
line in a refrigerat ing syst em requires great
at t ent ion.
In fact t he relat ive pressure loss,
included filt er, which implies a reduct ion of flow
capacit y sucked by t he compressor, influences
direct ly t he refrigerat ing capacit y of t he plant .
This line is normally sized t o have a t ot al
pressure loss lower t hen a variat ion of t he

Oil separat ors
106
The body is manufact ured from st eel pipe of
adequat e t hickness. Flanges and cover are also
made of st eel.
Eit her t hreaded connect ions of
separat ors series 5520 or solder connect ions
of separat ors series 5540 are manufact ured,
machining, wit h st eel bar
EN 10277-3 11S Mn Pb 37 + C.
The int ernal device is simple in order t o assure
a t rouble-free long operat ion.
Appropriat e met allic screens, placed on t he
inlet and out let , rapidly reduce gas speed, and
creat e t he condit ions required for t he
separat ion of t he oil from t he refrigerant .
A float operat ed needle valve, set on t he
bot t om of t he vessel, ret urn t he oil t o t he
crankcase of compressor. The bot t om also
includes a chamber t hat collect s all met allic
debris. A permanent magnet holds t hese
impurit ies t o avoid t hey st op or damage t he
operat ion of needle, moved by float ing.
APPLICATIONS
The oil separat ors, shown in t his chapt er, are
classified Pressure vessels in t he sense of
t he Pressure Equipment Direct ive 97/ 23/ EC,
67/ 548/ EEC).
The advant ages of t he oil separat or on t he
discharge line of a compressor in a
refrigerat ion syst em are confirmed by many
years of experience. The oil separat or
int ercept s t he oil mixed wit h compressed gas
and ret urns it t o t he crankcase of t he
compressor t hus assuring an ef ficient
lubricat ion of it s moving par t s. Fur t hermore,
t he oil separat or maint ains a high coef ficient of
condenser and evaporat or per formance by
almost complet ely removing oil deposit s from
t heir exchange sur faces. When a ver y high
t emperat ure at t he end of t he compression
st age leads t o t he format ion of oil vapours, a
separat or wit h a capacit y exceeding t he values
shown in t he t able should be used. Moreover,
t he oil separat or, damping t he valves
pulsat ions, reduces syst em noise wit h an open
or semi-hermet ic compressor.
Finally, t he use of an oil separat or leads t o:
a longer life of t he compressor;
a bet t er per formance of t he whole syst em
wit h consequent energy saving;
a quiet er operat ion by reducing pulsat ions.
Table 1 and 3 show t he t echnical dat a relat ing
t o t he working condit ions of oil separat ors.
CONSTRUCTION
Cast el manufact ures t wo t ypes of oil

separat ors series 5520 can be overhauled
for maint enance and can be replaced from
t he syst em. They are equipped wit h t hreaded
connect ions, which can mat e t o t he

INSTALLATION
The oil separat ors t ype 5520 and 5540 should
be inst alled in t he discharge line bet ween t he
compressor and t he condenser mount ed
securely in a ver t ical posit ion and reasonably
close t o t he compressor.
To prevent t he ret urn of refrigerant from
condenser, during t he of f cycle of t he syst em,
it s advisable t o inst all a check valve bet ween
t he condenser and oil separat or out let
connect ion.
Oil separat or per forms best when operat ing at
or near t he compressor discharge
t emperat ure. In locat ion t he oil separat or,
choose a posit ion t o avoid, as far as possible,
chilling of t he shell, which may result in
condensing of liquid wit hin t he separat or. If
t his is not possible, it is advisable t o supply
t he separat or wit h t he bet t er solut ions
(insulat ion, st rap heat er, ot hers) t o prevent t he
refrigerant in t he syst em from condensing in
t he shell.
Before t he oil separat or is inst alled, eit her one
5520 or one 5540, an init ial charge of oil
should be added t o it . Refer t o general
charact erist ics of oil separat ors or t o
inst ruct ion sheet for t he proper amount of oil.
Oil pre-charge is ver y impor t ant , failure t o pre-
charge separat or sump may result in damage
t o t he oil ret urn float mechanism. Use t he
same t ype of oil t hat is in t he compressor
crankcase.
Act ing as t he lay out of refrigerat ing syst em,
t he ret urn line may be run from t he oil fit t ing
t o:
t he compressor crankcase;
t he suct ion line upst ream t he compressor or
upst ream t he receiver, if present ;
t he oil reser voir if oil cont rol syst em is being
used.
A sight glass may be inst alled in t he oil line, in
a posit ion t hat oil is flowing t hrough t he t ube,
t o check t he correct working of t he oil
separat or.

SELECTING THE SIZE
OF AN OIL SEPARATOR
The select ing of an oil separat or should be
done comparing t he charact erist ics of t he
inst alled compressor, est ablishing:
inlet connect ion must agree wit h t he
discharge diamet er of t he compressor
refrigerant flow capacit y wit h fixed working
condit ions (sat urat ed discharge t emperat ure
sat urat ed suct ion t emperat ure, event ually
liquid subcooling, sucked vapour
overheat ing).
This is necessar y t o define t he gas speed
referred t o t he cross sect ion of oil separat or,
assigned an end compression t emperat ure. It
is advisable t he above-ment ioned speed
doesn t exceed 0,5 m/ s, t o avoid great swirl
phenomena.
Table 3 has being writ t en following t his
principle.
Generally, fixed t he following dat a: refrigerat ing

BALL VALVES
APPLICATIONS
The ball valves, shown in this chapter, are
classified Pressure accessories in the sense
of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/ 23/ EC,
Ar ticle 1, Section 2.1.4 and are subject of
Ar ticle 3, Section 1.3 of the same Directive.
They are designed for installation on commercial
proper to the Group II (as defined in Ar ticle 9,
Section 2.2 of Directive 97/ 23/ EC and referred
to in Directive 67/ 548/ EEC).
CONSTRUCTION
The specific design of Castel ball valves:
ensures the internal equilibrium of pressures
when the valve is closed;
permits the bi-directional flow of the
refrigerant and, consequently, the assembly
on the plant without taking into account the
direction of the refrigerant;
prevents any risk of ejection or explosion of
the spindle.
The opening and closing of the valve is realized
by turning the spindle one four th of a turn. A
standstill in turning realizes either a full opening
or a full closing, moreover the arrow printed on
the spindle head shows the flow direction.
The electric welding of the bodies and the seal
gaskets, assembled on the spindle, prevent any
leaks.
Ball valves are available in the following two
types:
type 6590 (full por t) and type 6591 (reduced
por t) without access fitting.
type 6590/ A (full por t) and type 6591/ A
(reduced por t) with access fitting.
These ball valves are equipped with valve core
8394/ A and cap 8392/ A.

INSTALLATION
The brazing of ball valves should be carried out
with care, using a low melting point filler material.
It is impor tant to avoid direct contact between
the torch flame and the valve body, which could
be damaged and compromise the proper
functioning of the valve.

Hardened st eel for t he needle;
Chloroprene rubber (CR) for t he out let seal
gasket s.
INSTALLATION
The t hreaded fork must be inst alled ast ride of
t he copper t ube, t he valve is fast ened t o t he
pipe by t ight ening t he lower nut and screwing it
t he needle pierces t he pipe. The hole, pierced
by t he needle, connect s t he pipe inlet wit h t he
SAE-Flare connection as shown in figures 1 and 2.
APPLICATIONS
The valve, shown in this chapter, is classified
Pressure accessories in the sense of the
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/ 23/ EC, Ar ticle
1, Section 2.1.4 and is subject of Ar ticle 3,
Section 1.3 of the same Directive.
It is designed for installation on commercial
proper to the Group II (as defined in Ar ticle 9,
Section 2.2 of Directive 97/ 23/ EC and referred
to in Directive 67/ 548/ EEC).
The piercing valve is a fast and cheap means of
providing a loading, outlet or inlet point in the
refrigerating system. It can be applied on copper
tube with a 6 mm to 10 mm diameter, and can
be installed in any position on the system.

All st raight fit t ings, from series 7110 t o series
7170, and all t he plug, from series 7510 t o
series 7520, are machined by brass bar EN
12164 CW 614N.
Seal caps series 7560 and gasket s
series 7580 are made wit h copper
Cu ETP UNI 5649.
The main par t s of t he flanges joint s are made
bushes and flanges;
aramidic fibers for seal gasket of t he
flanges.
APPLICATIONS
All t he fit t ings, shown in t his chapt er, are
excluded from t he scope of Direct ive
97/ 23/ EC, as specified in t he Guidelines 1/ 8
and 1/ 9, because t hey are piping component s.
67/ 548/ EEC).
OPERATION
The sealing syst em bet ween t he end of a male
connect ion and a nut series 7010, 7020 and
7030 requires a special flaring of t he end of
copper t ube, t he so-called flared connect ion.
The sealing syst em bet ween t he end of a male
connect ion and a Flare-ODS adapt er allows
avoiding t he flaring process on copper t ube end
(nat ional laws of some European count ries
don t accept t his operat ion) because t he t ube
end is brazed int o t he solder connect ion of t he
adapt er.
We wish t o remember t o our cust omers t hat
t hey may assure no leakage of t he male
connect ion/ adapt er syst em only int erposing t he
copper gasket 7580, supplied wit h t he same
adapt er.
Flange joint s 7630 consist of t wo brass bushes
for brazing t o t he copper t ubes. When t he four
flange screws are t ight ened, a gasket , put
bet ween t he t wo bushes, assures t he seal of
flanged joint s.
CONSTRUCTION
All nut s, from series 7010 t o series 7050, and
all t he elbows, TEE and cross fit t ings, from
series 7210 t o series 7410, are manufact ured
wit h hot forged brass
EN 12420 CW 617N.

APPLICATIONS
All t he fit t ings, shown in t his chapt er, are
excluded from t he scope of Direct ive
97/ 23/ EC, as specified in t he Guidelines 1/ 8
and 1/ 9, because t hey are piping component s.

INSTALLATION
The int ernal working pressure-t emperat ure
rat ing for a copper fit t ing, is dependent upon,
not only fit t ing st rengt h, but also t he adopt ed
joining process and t he used filler met al. The
working pressure-t emperat ure values given in
t ables 1 and 2 are referred t o a brazing
process, per formed in accordance wit h t he
sound engineering pract ice.
We wish t o remember t he definit ion of brazing
process, given in EN 13133 : 2000 St andard.
The process of joining generally applied t o t he
joining of mat erials by a heat ing process during
which t he parent mat erials do not melt and t he
filler met al is drawn int o t he joint by capillar y
act ion. It is generally applicable t o joining
syst ems where t he filler met al melt s at 450 C
or above .
In act ual pract ice brazing is done at
t emperat ures ranging from 630 t o 820 C and
t here are t wo general t ypes of brazing filler
met als, normally used for joining copper t ube:
Copper Phosphorus alloys (t he so called B-
CuP), proper t o CP Class of EN 1044 : 1999
St andard, t hat are normally used wit hout
fluxes;
Silver alloys (t he so called B-Ag), proper t o
AG Class of EN 1044 : 1999, t hat must be
used wit h t heir specific fluxes.

chloroprene rubber (CR) for seat gasket ;
gasket for t ypes 8394/ A and 8395/ A;
PTFE for out let seal gasket for t ype 8394/ B.
APPLICATIONS
All t he access fit t ings and valve cores, shown
in t his chapt er, are excluded from t he scope of
Direct ive 97/ 23/ EC, as specified in t he
Guidelines 1/ 8 and 1/ 9, because t hey are
piping component s.
67/ 548/ EEC).
The access fit t ings allow t o creat e a loading or
draining point rapidly and wit h a minimum
expense.
Aft er complet ion of t he loading or draining
operat ions, t he cap wit h gasket
(cod. 8392/ A) prevent s any leakage.
For par t icular cust omer s requirement s,
t he 7020/ 20 flare blind nut wit h combined
8580/ 2 copper flare gasket may replace
t he 8392/ A cap.
This solut ion requires t o screw t he nut wit h a
t orque wrench at 8,5 11,5 Nm.
For syst em using R410A refrigerant , Cast el has
developed t hree specific access fit t ings wit h
5/ 16 SAE-Flare connect ion (codes 8350/ X09,
8351/ X05 and 8351/ X07) t hat have t o be
used wit h t he following par t s:
valve core, code 8395/ A1;
flare blind nut , code 7020/ X02;
Also t his solut ion requires t o screw t he nut wit h
a t orque wrench at 8,5 11,5 Nm.
OPERATION
The valve consist s of a body t hat can have
dif ferent shapes and sizes, according t o t he
dif ferent requirement s of t he cust omers. Inside
t he valve, t he valve core seat is manufact ured
according t o t he ARI STANDARD 720:1997.
When t he int ernal valve core has been inser t ed
t hrough t he fit t ing, by t he mount ing t ool (code
8390/ A), t he fluid flows just act ing on t he valve
needle.
