Description
Overview
NC T/V Kit (65°C) is a thermostatic valve kit designed to help maintain a healthy operating oil temperature in ELGi compressor frames F5 and F6, especially in cooler ambient conditions or intermittent duty cycles. By helping the system reach operating temperature faster, it supports cleaner lubrication and reduces moisture-related oil issues.
Key Features
- 65°C thermostatic control to support stable oil temperature in low-ambient starts
- Helps reduce condensation risk that can occur when equipment runs too cool
- Supports consistent lubrication to protect internal components during warm-up and short-cycle operation
- OEM-fit kit intended for ELGi F5 / F6 frame applications
Quick Reference
| Kit Type | Thermostatic valve kit |
|---|---|
| Setpoint | 65°C |
| Fits | ELGi frame sizes F5, F6 (verify by model/serial) |
Where This Helps Most
- Cold-weather operation or facilities with cooler compressor rooms
- Operations with frequent start/stop or short run times
- Sites looking to reduce moisture-in-oil symptoms (e.g., cloudy or milky oil)
Installation Notes
- Confirm compatibility using compressor model, frame size (F5/F6), and serial number before ordering/installation.
- Install during planned maintenance with proper lockout/tagout, depressurization, and oil-handling procedures.
- After installation, check for leaks and verify normal warm-up behavior under load.
FAQs
What does “65°C” mean on this kit?
It refers to the thermostatic control point used to help the lubrication system reach and maintain an operating temperature range. Actual running temperature varies by load, ambient conditions, and compressor configuration.
When should I consider adding a thermostatic valve kit?
If your compressor runs in cool ambient conditions, short-cycles often, or you’re seeing signs of moisture accumulation in the oil, a thermostatic kit can help the system operate in a healthier temperature range.
Will this change my compressor’s rated pressure or flow?
No. This kit is intended to support temperature management and lubrication behavior; it does not change the compressor’s rated performance.
Can my team install this, or do I need a technician?
Installation is typically handled by a qualified service technician to ensure correct fitment, leak-free operation, and safe oil-handling practices.
