Kv-value 1) with offset 0.6 bar (8.7 psig) | KVP 12 – 22: 1.7 m3 / h |
KVP 28 – 35: 2.8 m3 / h |
Kv-value 1) with maximum P-band | KVP 12 – 22: 2.5 m3 / h |
KVP 28 – 35: 8.0 m3 / h |
1) The Kv value is the flow of water in [m3 / h] at a pressure drop across valve of 1 bar, ρ = 1000 kg / m3.
This product (KVP 12 – KVP 22) is evaluated for R290, R600, R600a and R1270 by ignition source assessment
in accordance with standard EN13463-1.

Nominal Capacity
Danfoss Code Number | Valve Type | Connection Type | Rated capacity 1) [kW] |
R22 | R134a | R404A/R507 | R407C |
034L0021 | KVP12 | 1/2 Flare | 4.0 | 2.8 | 3.6 | 3.7 |
1) Rated capacity is the regulator capacity at
evaporating temperature te = -10 °C
condensing temperature tc = +25°C
pressure drop in regulator Δp = 0.2 bar (2.9 psig)
offset = 0.6 bar (8.7 psig)
To select the product for other conditions or refrigerants, use Danfoss Coolselector®2.
The connection dimensions chosen must not be too small, as gas velocities in excess of 40 m / s at the inlet of the regulator can result in flow noise.
