Featured Products
Sporlan SER-AA, -A
The Sporlan SER-AA and SER-A valves are ideal for subcritical C02 (R-744) supermarket cases and other small HFC and HCFC (hydrofluorocarbon) applications. The uni-body construction (a unique feature of the SER family) strengthens corrosion resistance, reduces leak paths and improves mounting flexibility.

Sporlan’s Flush-All
Sporlan Division's Flush-All video provides a combination of product promotion information as well as "how-to" instruction for the Flush-All product line. A complete product overview clearly shows the enhanced capability and product performance offered by the Flush-All product. The how-to portion of the video provides the best practices and recommended steps to get peak performance and refrigerant system protection.
When a change in system chemistry occurs, thoroughly purging system line sets of chemical and solid contaminants is the key to eliminating a costly and frustrating callback related to a restricted metering device. The Flush-All Kits provide a unique total solution that couples the powerful FA Flush-All solvent with our patented bi-flow Sporlan SFD-163S filter-drier.
The ozone-safe FA Flush-All solvent aggressively addresses old oil, varnish and sludge within the line-sets before system start-up. This is advantageous since oil breakdown products can exist in the liquid line and are difficult to remove with competing filter-driers that only address moisture concerns of HFC/ POE lubricant systems. The Sporlan SFD-163S is an application specific filter-drier designed for permanent installation in the liquid line. The SFD-163S effectively eliminates disturbed debris not cleared during the flush procedure. The filter-drier removes particles down to three microns in size, preventing their accumulation at the metering device.
Innovation
Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, recently showcased the new Sporlan Secondary Fluid Control package (SFV) for use in secondary glycol refrigeration systems at the AHR Expo 2013, held in Dallas.
The valve and controller combination allows users to set their desired case temperature, and walk away with confidence. Laboratory and field installations have demonstrated case temperature stability within 0.5 degree of setpoint and reductions in compressor cycling by up to 60 percent.
By pairing a fully modulating stepper motor valve with advanced adaptive algorithms, the SFV package achieves consistent flat line control without the headaches associated with system commissioning. Matching glycol mass flow to the unique requirements of each case results in an overall reduction in glycol pump speed and energy consumption.
“Typically, case temperature is maintained using on-off solenoid control and mechanical balancing valves,” said Tom Bourquin, Product Manager at Parker Sporlan. “When this modulating solution is installed, temperature control is immediately achieved without commissioning or callbacks.”
The valve and controller combination can also improve shelf life of product due to a reduction in thermal shock, which can occur as a result of major temperature fluctuations. Energy savings from the glycol pump and improved chiller stability are additional benefits for customers.
Video: The Year of CO2
Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, released their new CO Series Copper Filter-Drier specifically designed for vending machine and beverage dispensing equipment. The CO series can withstand the extreme pressure of transcritical CO2 systems and can handle the industry’s highest pressure capability with maximum rated pressure of 2,250 psig (15.5 MPa) (UL file SA1756) while providing complete system protection in a compact design. Also featured was the Sporlan line of CO2 gas cooler valves, developed for supermarket refrigeration systems in response to customer demand. Gordon Coates from the New Product Development division comments, “[Customers] have also asked for better low-flow capability, higher resolution valves, so this is an answer to that.” Construction of these valves are in stainless steel with 3 different body sizes and replaceable cartridge assembly and screen, “everything is interchangeable, it’s a modular type design”, adds Coates. Also on display are the latest transcritical CO2 controllers.
