Evaporator tons at 10ºF (5°C) temperature differential.  Ideal sizing could vary with desired time for defrosting, 
available supply pressure, amount of ice on evaporator, usage of pre-defrost pumpout, etc.  For other control 
valve sizing, see detailed Hansen bulletins on specific valve types.

VALVE SELECTION

* Type HCK2, HCK2W requires single pilot solenoid valve to operate and has minimal internal bleed to down stream side of main 

valve.  Type HS9B, HS9BW uses dual pilot solenoid valve assembly and has no internal bleed.

HT100 CONDENSATE 
DRAINER

This  unit  is  ideally  suited  for  the 

removal  of  liquid  condensate  from 
hot gas mains and headers.  Helps 
assure refrigerant gas will be available at inlet of hot 
gas supply valve leading to evaporator.  This avoids 
moving condensed liquid through valve before frost 
melting can begin.  Typical rating at 86ºF to 10ºF is 

7.5 lbs./min. (0.063 kg/sec.) for ammonia and 24.5 lbs./

min. (0.117 kg/sec.) for R22.  For greater capacities, 
contact factory.  Inlet/outlet connections: combination 

¾” FPT/1”Weld.

HD101 DEFROST 

CONDENSATE LIQUID 

DRAINER

Mechanical/non-electrical  float 
regulator drains liquid condensate 
from evaporator during defrost.  It 
has built-in gas vent plus expansion valve bypass as 
is necessary to avoid gas binding.  Suitable capacity 
for 42 ton (147 kW) max. ammonia evaporator or 11 
ton (39 kW) max. R22 evaporator; for larger capacities, 
contact factory.   Inlet/outlet connections: combination  

¾” FPT/1” Weld.
