Refrigerants
Applicable to HCFC, HFC, R717 (Ammonia) and R744
(CO
).
2
Flammable hydrocarbons are not
recommended.
The valve is only recommended for use in closed
circuits. For further information please contact
Danfoss.
Temperature range
-60 °C – +120 °C (-76 °F – +248 °F)
Pressure range
The valves are designed for a max.
working pressure of 52 bar (754 psig).
Technical data
The ICS can be used in suction, liquid, hotgas and
liquid/vapor lines. The ICS regulates the ow of the
media by modulation or on/o function, depen ding
on the control impulse from the screwed on pilot
valve or valves.
Regulating range
Dependent on the chosen type and combination of
pilot valves.
Opening di erential pressure (p)
The ICS main valve requires a minimum opening
di erential pressure of 0.07 bar (1 psi) to begin to
open and 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) to be completely open.
Back pressure to the ICS valve forces the
piston to open and create a reverse ow.
If reverse ow is not accepted, a check
valve must be installed downstream of
the ICS valve (be aware of the risk of
trapped liquid).

Installation
The valve must be installed with the manual
opening in vertically upwards position ( g. 1).
The valve must be installed with the arrow in the
direction of the ow and the top cover upwards ( g.
2). The top cover can be rotated in any direction.
The valve is tted with a spindle for manual
opening. The spindle can open the ICS 100-150
valves against a di erential pressure of 10 bar (154
psi). If an external pilot valve is used, the pilot line
must be connected to the upper side of the main
line so that any dirt and oil from the plant will not
nd its way into the pilot line.
If the ICS is to be used as a solenoid valve in a
liquid line, external control pressure cannot be
recommended because it can cause liquid hammer.
The valve is designed to withstand a high internal
pressure. However, the piping system should be
designed to avoid liquid traps and reduce the risk of
hydraulic pressure caused by thermal expansion.
It must be ensured that the valve is protected from
pressure transients like "liquid hammer" in the
system.

Welding ( g. 3, 4 and 6)
The valve can stay assembled during the welding
process provided that the welding method is
controlled and ensuring no welding debris.
The function module can be lifted out using a bolt
size M10 or by using one of the eyebolts placed in
the topcover ( g 4, pos. 7). Debris blocking the bolt
hole will need to be removed.
The internal surfaces and weld
connections of the enclosed
ICS/ ICM valve have been applied
with an anti-corrosion treatment.
In the event that the function modules are to
be left disassembled for any length of time,
please ensure that the function modules are
further protected by placing in a polyethylene
bag or by applying a rust protection agent (e.g.
refrigeration oil or BRANOROL) on the surfaces.
Only materials and welding methods, compatible
with the valve body material must be used. The
valve should be cleaned internally to remove
welding debris on completion of welding.
Avoid welding debris and dirt in the
valve body and the function module. The valve
body must be free from stresses (external loads)
after installation.
The valves must not be mounted in systems where
the outlet side of the valve is open to atmosphere.
The outlet side of the valve must always be
connected to the system or properly capped o , for
example with a welded-on end plate.
Assembly and tightening ( g. 5 and 7)
Remove welding debris and any dirt from pipes and
valve body before assembly. Check that the o-rings
are intact before installing the function module. If
possible, apply some refrigeration oil to ease the
insertion and to protect the o-rings. Check that the
top gasket has not been damaged. If the surface has
been damaged or the gasket has been bent, it must
be replaced.
During insert of the function module make sure it is
rotated like shown in g. 5
None of the 4 vertical legs are
allowed to be positioned in the middle
of the connection opening.
The legs must be rotated to be within
30 to 60 degrees from middle position.
Make sure the insert is in-line with the housing
and fully at the bottom (no angle - no partial
protrusion).
The gasket has to t easy with no gaps.
Tighten the top cover with a torque wrench to the
values stated in g. 7.
Colours and identi cation
The ICS valves are Zinc-Chromated from factory. The
Zinc-Chromatization does not cover the welding
connections. If further corrosion protection is
required, the valves can be painted.
Precise identi cation of the valve is made via the ID
plate on the top cover.
The external surface of the valve housing must be
protected against corrosion with a suitable top
coating after installation involving welding and
consequent assembly.
Protection of the ID plate when painting the valve is
recommended.
Maintenance
S
ervice
The ICS 100-150 valves are easy to dismantle and
can be serviced by using spare parts available from
Danfoss.
Do not open the valve while the valve is still under
pressure.
Pressure relief can be done by carefully opening the
manual operating spindle. Because of small grooves
along the thread on the spindle, refrigerant can be
released into open air when operating the manual
opener. This operation must only be done after
providing the correct countermeasures under local
legislation.
The function module can be lifted out using a
bolt size M10 screwed into the threaded hole of
the piston on the function module ( g. 3). Debris
blocking the bolt hole will need to be removed.
The ICS 100-150 insert can be serviced by
dismantling the insert. This is done by screwing
o the washer plate g 7 and removing the parts
( g 8). When reassembling the valve, Danfoss
recommends to use Loctite 586 or similar on the
thread of the washer plate.
Upon opening and removal of the function module:
- Check that the o-rings on the function
module has not been damaged. A
valve with a damaged o-ring might not
modulate according to the speci cation.
- Check that the piston and cylinder is
free of scratches and look for wear
marks. If the wear is excessive the
function module should be serviced
or replaced to prevent false pilot signal.
- Check that the movement of the
cylinder and valve seat is free and with
low friction.
- If the te on valve plate has been
damaged the te on valve plate should
be replaced by using a Danfoss
sparepart kit.
Assembly
Remove any dirt from the body before the valve is
assembled. Check that all channels in the valve are
not blocked by particles or similar.
If possible, apply some refrigeration oil to ease the
insertion and to protect the o-rings.
Tightening
See Tightening in Installation section.
Use only original Danfoss parts, including O-rings
and gaskets for replacement. Materials of new parts
are certi ed for the relevant refrigerant.
In cases of doubt, please contact Danfoss.
