How do IDVs work?
Figure 3: Intermediate Discharge Valve (IDV)
Danfoss Intermediate Discharge Valves (IDVs) are located close to the discharge side of the compressor. They reduce
excessive compression of refrigerant under part-load conditions while maintaining the same cooling capacity. The
IDVs open when discharge pressure falls below the built-in optimization point. They adapt the eort of the motor to
the varying load and pressure conditions in the system, thus reducing the eort of the motor and its electrical
consumption and improving the system’s seasonal energy eciency.
