Master Catalog 125 Valves, Miscellaneous (Other Than Gas) Section V Product Bulletin V47 Issue Date 0518 © 2018 Johnson Controls 1 Code No. LIT-125690 V47 Series Temperature Actuated Modulating Water Valves Application The V47 modulating valves regulate the flow of water to maintain a desired temperature. V47A valves OPEN on a temperature increase at the bulb while V47N valves CLOSE on a temperature increase at the bulb. Refer to LIT-125687 for pressure actuated water valves. The V47 temperature valves are widely used on heat exchangers to maintain optimum operating temperatures of internal combustion engines, air compressors, hydraulic oil, etc. Important benefits from the use of water valves include maximum operating efficiency of the equipment and a substantial savings effected by the conservation of water flow. They are used on condenser applications where expensive fluids are economically recovered or where the use of cooling water is restricted and on such varied applications as the temperature control of swimming pools and the control of paint temperatures on industrial printing machines. Temperature actuated three-way diverting valves are available for special applications. Contact Customer Service for additional information. For use with liquids other than water, contact Customer Service. All Series V47 water regulating valves are designed for use only as operating devices. Where system closure, improper flow or loss of pressure due to valve failure can result in personal injury and/or loss of property, a separate pressure relief or safety shutoff valve, as applicable, must be added by the user. Features • No close fitting sliding parts in water passages. • Range spring does not come in contact with the cooling water. • Easy manual flushing, if required. • Valve design minimizes chatter and water hammer. Fig. 1 -- V47 Temperature Actuated Water Valve. • Free movement of all parts provides smooth temperature modulation. • Adjustment not affected by water pressure variations. • Withstands high hydraulic shock without damage. General Description Specifications This product is made of copper alloy, which contains lead. The product is therefore not to be used on drinking water. 2 V47 Product Bulletin General Description A pressure-balanced design, employing synthetic rubber sealing diaphragms correctly proportioned to the valve port area, balances valves against both gradual and sudden water pressure changes, seals water away from range spring and guides and provides protection against high water surge pressures. Range spring and sliding parts are not submerged in water where they would be subject to sedimentation and corrosion. Only five metal parts, made of corrosion. Only five metal parts, made of corrosion resistant material, come in contact with the water -- valve disc holder, disc stud, valve seat, valve stem, and body. (See Fig 2.) IMPORTANT: Before using this chart determine type of bulb needed in particular application. Table 1 -- Heating Bulb -- Bulb temperature is always HIGHER than bellows temperature. Table 2 -- Cross-ambient Bulb -- Bulb temperature rises higher and drops lower than bellows temperature. Recommended for general use with standard 75 to 135°F (24 to 57°C) range to maintain control at bulb location. Note: To provide satisfactory operation, always install valve with bellows down and spring cage up. Capillary end of temperature bulb should always be higher than plugged-end of bulb, or if horizontal, the word TOP should be at the top or uppermost surface of bulb. Never subject temperature bulb to temperatures in excess of 20F° (11C°) above maximum range temperature. Example: 75 to 135°F (24 to 57°C) range; maximum bulb temperature not to exceed 155°F (68°C). See page 6 and 7 for Flow Chart and how To Select Water Valve Size. Fig. 2 -- Typical cross-sections of threaded type valves. Interiors of flange models are similar. V47 Product Bulletin 3 Stock Temperature Valves Due to many variations of temperature actuated valves, a group of standard V47 (open high) valves are maintained in stock for shipment on short notice. These valves are available in three temperature ranges and are furnished with 6 feet (1.8 m) of armored capillary and a Style 4 temperature bulb (closed tank immersion). All stock valves are supplied with a drilled and tapped internal bypass in the regulator body. A solid plug is installed in this hole for 100% shutoff. A drilled plug is packed in an envelope with each valve for field installation, if continuous minimum flow is required. (See Fig. 3.) Temperature Elements Standard temperature elements are furnished with 6 ft (1.8 m) capillary. Optional capillary lengths are available on quantity orders, lengths 2 ft (.6 m), 4 ft (1.2 m), 10 ft (3 m) and longer in increments of 5 ft (1.5 m) at extra cost. Temperature bulbs and ranges currently available are listed in Temperature Ranges and Bulb Dimension Chart. Finned air immersion type temperature bulbs, special elements and special temperature ranges are available. Consult Customer Service. Optional Construction Internal Bypass A drilled hole is provided in valves which are actuated by temperature of water passing through the valve. Hole in valve body provides continuous bypass flow permitting temperature actuated bulb to sense temperature change. Eliminates requirement for special bypass line. Specify internal bypass hole size required. Bypass hole sizes are 035 in. (.89 mm), .062 in. (1.58 mm), .093 in. (2.36 mm), or .125 in. (3.18 mm). (See Fig. 4.) 4 V47 Product Bulletin Stainless Steel Bulb Models with stainless bulb, support tube, and closed tank fittings are available at extra cost on special orders. Mounting Bracket Mounting bracket as illustrated in Fig. 5 available on 3/8 in. valve only when specified. Specify bracket position required. Other styles of brackets on 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. valves available on quantity orders. Consult Customer Service. V47 Product Bulletin 5 Disc Holder, Valve Seat and Extension Sleeve Available in monel on commercial valves at additional cost. Capillary Protection Armored capillary tubing is available at additional cost (standard on stock valves). Manual Flushing Valves may be manually flushed by lifting range spring follower with screwdrivers at two sides of lower spring cap to open valve. This does not change valve adjustment. Valves For L.P. Gas Temperature actuated modulating valves for regulating flow of L.P. gas to crop driers or outdoor industrial equipment as shown in LIT-125695. Companion Flanges and Gaskets Kits available at additional cost, when specified. For 1-1/2 in., 2 in., and 2-1/2 in. sizes -- A.S.M.E. 125 lb. standard only. Each flange kit contains two ring gaskets, two cast iron flanges, eight machine bolts and eight hex nuts. (See Fig. 6.) Repairs and Replacement Field repairs must not be made except for replacement of the sensing element, internal parts, and the rubber diaphragms. For a replacement valve or replacement parts kit, contact the nearest Johnson Controls wholesaler. Replacement part kit numbers are shown in Forms 996-57 and 996-58. Ordering Information When ordering water valves, specify the following: 1. Catalog Number, if established. 2. If a stock valve cannot be used specify Product No. if available. 3.

Fig. 7 -- A.S.M.E. flange type water valve (for flange bolt holes). 6 V47 Product Bulletin To Select Water Valve Size Refer to Flow Chart for selection of valves. Carefully follow steps as outlined below. 1. Determine the maximum water flow required and draw a horizontal line across upper half of Flow Chart through this flow. 2. Determine the temperature rise above the valve opening point. a. Valve closing point is the highest temperature at which it is desired to have no flow through the valve. b. Valve opening point will be about 5F° (2.8C°) above the valve closing point. c. Determine the temperature the valve is to maintain. d. Subtract the temperature opening point from the operating temperature. This gives the temperature rise. 3. Draw horizontal line across lower half of Flow Chart through this value. 4. Determine the allowable pressure drop through the valve -- this is the pressure actually available to force liquid through the valve. 5. On lower half of curve, mark point on drawn-in horizontal temperature line at pressure determined in Step 4. Interpolate between curves, or pick curve for nearest lower pressure drop for which curve is drawn (this gives a reserve maximum load capacity). 6. From this point draw line vertically upward until it intersects drawn-in horizontal water flow line in upper half of Flow Chart. 7. If intersection falls on a valve size curve this is the valve size. 8. If intersection falls between two curves the required valve size is the larger of the two.
