Safety Instructions:
•
Read installation instructions thoroughly.
Failure to comply can result in device failure,
system damage or personal injury.
•
It is intended for use by persons having the
appropriate knowledge and skill. Before
attempting to install the regulator, make sure
pressure in system is brought to and remains at
atmospheric pressure.
•
Do not release any refrigerant into the
atmosphere.

Do not use any other fluid media without prior
approval of Alco Controls. Use of fluid not
listed could result in change of Hazard
Category of the product and consequently
change of conformity assessment requirement
for product in accordance with European
Pressure Equipement Directive 97/23/EC.

In a severely contaminated system, avoid
breathing acid vapours and avoid contact with
skin from contaminated refrigerant / lubricants.
Failure to do so could result in skin injury.

Installation and Mounting:
Two typical installation applications are possible:
Hot Gas Bypass to the evaporator inlet (with up to
100% of capacity control) per Fig. 1
Hot Gas Bypass to the suction line (max. 40% of
capacity control
because of oil return
capability) per Fig. 2
•
Pressure regulators can be installed in any position.
•
Direction of flow must match arrow on body.
•
Before brazing clean tubing.
•
CPHE:
Remove power assembly and cage before
brazing.
•
ACP:
Do not disassemble valve before brazing.
•
Use wet rags or chill blocks when brazing to
prevent valve damage.
Do not

Internal parts must be protected from foreign
material and moisture. ALCO filter
liquid line and ALCO filter use in suction line is
recommended.
•
Install the external equalizer line to the compressor
suction line alw
pressure regulators. NEVER join the equalizer line
with another control except of the Liquid Injection
Valve.
Setting:

below
The function of the CPHE and ACP series regulators
is to prevent the suction pressure from falling below
a predetermined set point, thereby balancing the
system. Therefore, the first step after installation is
to determine this set point for the minimum suction
pressure allowable for your application. To do so,
follow this procedure:
•
Start the system and determine if it is operating
properly. Install a gauge on the compressor suction
line and measure the suction
system has stabilized. To make sure, that hot gas is
not bypassed de

CLOCKWISE turn of the adjusting stem will

Direct flame away from valve body (Fig. 3).
Use an inert gas such as nitrogen to pass through
the valve to prevent copper oxide formation.
The use of appropriate brazing material is required
(soft solder is not allowed).
Never use oxygen or flammable gases.
Internal parts must be protected from foreign
material and moisture. ALCO filter-drier use in
liquid line and ALCO filter use in suction line is
recommended.
Install the external equalizer line to the compressor
suction line always downstream from evaporator
pressure regulators. NEVER join the equalizer line
with another control except of the Liquid Injection
Valve.

If desired set point differs from factory setting,
follow the procedure for setting before any
installation and/or refer to the Adjustment Table

NOTES:
•
On multiple evaporator systems, do not pipe hot
gas to more than one evaporator. Use separate
bypass regulators or consult the ALCO
Applications Engineering De
•
If the compressor is located above the evaporator,
bypass should be piped to the evaporator to insure
proper oil return during low load bypass
conditions.
•
On a long piping run, bypass to the evaporator,
insulate the bypass to prevent condensate.
Condensate can lead to unstable conditions and
or flooding of the compressor.
Solenoid Connections
•
If a compressor discharge line thermostat is used,
it is recommended that the solenoid
series with the thermostat.

source.
(NEVER wire on the load side of the motor
starter.)
Note 1: For installation of a Liquid Injection Valve
(e.g. L-series), refer to ALCO’s catalog for selection
and see the Superheat Table below.
Note 2: If a liquid-injection solenoid valve is used,
the electrical connections should be in parallel with
the hot gas solenoid valve.
Leakage test:
•
After completion of installation, a pressure test
must be carried out as follows:
•
- According to EN378 for systems which must
comply with European pressure equipment
directive 97/23/EC.
•
- To maximum working pressure of system for
other applications.
Warning:
•
Failure to do so could result in loss of refrigerant
and personal injury.
•
The pressure test must be conducted by skilled
persons with due respect regarding the danger
related to pressure.

Before any service shut down system and
disconnect from power source.
