For water the following formulae can be used to
calculate the quantity of water (Q in m3/h) or
the pressure drop across the valve (∆p in bar).

The Kv factor is the quantity of 20°C water that
will pass through the valve at one bar pressure
drop and maximum valve opening.
Note
If the compressor operates in a high
ambient temperature, the refrigerant
pressure may at times remain high enough
to cause the valve to partly open when the
compressor is idle. In such conditions the
valve opening point should be raised just
enough to cause the valve to close during
compressor standby periods. Take this into
account when flow is calculated..
