Venturi-Flo™ Low Pressure Drop Distributors
Description
Renowned in the HVACR trade for its unique, one-piece design, this low-pressure drop distributor provides for maximum distribution efficiency to a multi-circuit evaporator while ensuring minimum pressure drop with a capacity range wider than standard orifice-plate-type distributors. KeepFlo™ accomplished this by designing an innovative low-pressure drop flow path in the distributor, resulting in a smooth-contour flow path that delivers equal distribution of the refrigerant to each evaporator circuit. It can be used on any direct expansion, multi-circuit evaporator that has equal lengths.
- Construction: Brass or aluminum
