For accurate valve sizing, the valve selection program "Refrigeration VASP" is recom-
mended.
Ordering
Valve body and magnetic actuator form one integral unit and cannot be separated.
Should the valve’s electronics become faulty, the entire electronics housing is to be
replaced by spare part ASR61, which is supplied complete with Mounting Instructions
(74 319 0270 0).
See table on page 16.
If plant is resized, or should excessive wear impact the valve’s perform-
ance, a new valve insert ASR…N will restore the valve’s characteristics to
its original specifications.
The valve insert is supplied complete with Mounting Instructions
(74 319 0486 0).

Technical design / functions
4 selectable standard signals for setpoint and measured value
DIL switch to reduce the kvs value to 63 % of the nominal value
Potentiometer for adjustment of minimum stroke for suction throttle applications
Automatic stroke calibration
Forced control input for "Valve closed" or "Valve fully open”
LED for indicating the operating state
The MVS661..N refrigerant valve can be driven by Siemens or third-party controllers
that deliver a DC 0/2...10 V or DC 0/4...20 mA output signal.
For optimum control performance, we recommend a 4-wire connection between con-
troller and valve. When operating on DC voltage, a 4-wire connection is mandatory!
The valve stroke is proportional to the control signal.
If the positioning signal is interrupted, or in the event of a power failure, the valve’s
return spring will automatically close control path 1 3.

ited to 63 % mechanical stroke. 63
% of full stroke then corresponds to
an input / output signal of 10 V.
If, in addition, the stroke is limited
to 80 %, for example, the minimum
stroke will be
0.63 x 0.8 = 0.50 of full stroke.

Stroke
In the case of the suction throttle valve, it is
essential that a minimum stroke limit be
maintained to ensure compressor cooling
and efficient oil return. This can be
achieved with a reinjection valve, a bypass
line across the valve, or a guaranteed
minimum opening of the valve. The mini-
mum stroke can be defined via the control-
ler and control signal Y, or it can be set
directly with potentiometer Rv.
The factory setting is zero (mechanical stop in counterclockwise direction, CCW). The
minimum stroke can be set by turning the potentiometer clockwise (CW) to a maximum
of 80 % kvs.
Under no circumstances must potentiometer Rv be used to limit the stroke on
expansion applications. It must be possible to close the valve fully.

The printed circuit board of the MVS661..N has a slot to facilitate calibration.
To make the calibration, insert a screwdriver in the slot so that the contacts
inside are connected. As a result, the valve will first be fully closed and then
fully opened.
Calibration matches the electronics to the valve’s mechanism.
During the calibration process the green LED flashes for about 10 seconds;
refer to "Indication of operating state" (page 5).

Sizing
For straightforward valve sizing, refer to the tables for the relevant application (from
page 9).
For accurate valve sizing, we recommend to make use of the valve sizing software
"Refrigeration VASP", available from your local Siemens office.
The refrigeration capacity Q0is calculated by multiplying the mass flow by the specific
enthalpy differential found in the h, log p-chart for the relevant refrigerant. To help de-
termine the refrigeration capacity more easily, a selection chart is provided for each
application (from page 10). With direct or indirect hot-gas bypass applications, the en-
thalpy differential of Qc(the condenser capacity) must also be taken into account when
calculating the refrigeration capacity.
If the evaporating and/or condensing temperatures are between the values shown in
the tables, the refrigeration capacity can be determined with reasonable accuracy by
linear interpolation (refer to the application examples from page 11).
At the operating conditions given in the tables, the permissible differential pressure
pmax (25 bar) across the valve is within the admissible range for these valves.
If the evaporating temperature is raised by 1 K, the refrigeration capacity increases by
about 3 %. If, by contrast, subcooling is increased by 1 K, the refrigeration capacity
increases by about 1 to 2 % (this applies only to subcooling down to approximately
8 K).
Engineering notes
Depending on the application, it may be necessary to observe additional Installation
Instructions and fit appropriate safety devices (e.g. pressurestats, full motor protection,
etc.).
In order not to damage the seal inside the valve insert, the plant must be vented on the
low-pressure side after the pressure test has been made (valve port AB), or the valve

must be fully open during the pressure test and during venting (power supply con-
nected and positioning signal at maximum or forced opening by G ZC).
To prevent the formation of flash gas on expansion applications, the velocity of the
refrigerant in the fluid pipe must not exceed 1 m/s. To assure this, the diameter of the
fluid pipe must under certain circumstances be greater than the nominal size of the
valve.
1 = evaporator
2 = compressor
3 = condenser
4 = expansion valves
a) The differential pressure over reduction must be less than half the differential
pressure ΔpFL.
b) The inlet path between diameter reduction and expansion valve inlet
Must straight for at least 600 mm
May not contain any valves
A filter / dryer must be mounted upstream of the expansion valve.
The valve is not explosion-proof.
Mounting notes
The valve should be mounted and commissioned by qualified staff. The same applies
to the replacement electronics and the configuration of the controller (e.g. SAPHIR or
PolyCool).

The refrigerant valves can be mounted in any orientation, but
upright mounting is preferable.
Arrange the pipework in such a way that the valve is not lo-
cated at a low point in the plant where oil can collect.
The pipes should be fitted in such a way that the alignment
does not distort the valve connections. Fix the valve body so
that that it cannot vibrate. Vibration can lead to burst connec-
tion pipes.
Before soldering the pipes, ensure that the direction of flow
through the valve is correct.
The pipes must be soldered with care. To avoid dirt and the
formation of scale (oxide), inert gas is recommended for sol-
dering.
The flame should be large enough to ensure that the junction
heats up quickly and the valve does not get too hot.
The flame should be directed away from the valve.
During soldering, cool the valve with a wet cloth, for example,
to ensure that it does not become too hot.

Valve sizing with correction factor
The applications and correction tables on the following pages are designed for help
with selecting the valves. To select the correct valve, the following data is required:
Application
Expansion (starting on page 11)
Hot-gas (starting on page 13)
Suction throttle (starting on page 15)
Refrigerant type
Evaporating temperature to[ °C]
Condensing temperature tc[ °C]
Refrigeration capacity Q0[kW]
To calculate the nominal capacity, use the following formula:
kvs [m³/h] = Q0[kW] / K…* *K… for Expansion = KE
for hot-gas = KH
for suction throttle = KS
The theoretical kvvalue for the nominal refrigeration capacity of the plant should not
be less than 50 % of the kvs value of the selected valve
For accurate valve sizing, the valve selection program "Refrigeration VASP" is rec-
ommended
