AUTOMATIC REFRIGERANT CONTROL VALVES
2626 Big Bend Blvd.
St. Louis, Mo.
THERMO EXPANSION
VALVES--They assure posi
tive independent, automatic
control of liquid feed in each
refrigerated unit of a multiple
system.
They automatically regu
late liquid feed arid suction
pressure in accord with the
refrigerating load in any unit
thereby materially increasing
the efficiency of the compres
sor as well as the evaporating coils.
They provide a positive method of obtaining a maximum wet interior surface in any
type of evaporator.
'
They are sensitive to the slightest change in suction superheat, but are adjustable to
control the liquid flow at any required degree of suction superheat without permitting
the return of liquid refrigerant to the compressor.
There is a size and type for all refrigerants and all capacities from fractional tonnage
to 60 tons Ammonia, 100 tons Methyl Chloride, or 50 tons Freon.
MAGNETIC LIQUID STOP VALVES --are positive acting, and tight closing. They are indispensable wherever instan
taneous closing of the liquid supply line is in dicated. They are used extensively with expan sion valves where the tem perature difference be tween the refrigerant and the refrigerated substance
or area is very small. They are also used ex tensively with Alco Float Switches to maintain a constant liquid level in flooded evaporators.
All types are available in all the ordinary pipe sizes up to 1}4 in., and for tonnage capacities ranging from fractional tonnage to 350 tons Ammonia, 115 tons Methyl Chloride, or 55 tons Freon.
MAGNETIC SUCTION STOP
VALVES--are designed for use as suction
line shut-off or as low side by-pass valves.
They are built without
packing so as to operate
successfully on heavily
frosted lines. Makes pos
sible individual control of
two or more evaporating
units in a multiple system
even though there is a
wide difference in tem
perature requirement or
load conditions.^ They
provide individual tem
perature control in any
number of refrigerated
units in a series system
either flooded or fed by a constant pressure
expansion valve.
'
Built in
J^in., 1 in., lKim. lMin.,
or 2 in., sizes.
LIQUID FLOAT VALVES-- are provided
with a pat ented vent
tube inside the body which prevents gas binding, and permits the valve to be installed at the highest point on a full flooded system even though many
feet above the liquid receiver. They may also be installed at a low point in the system and will perform their function
equally as well. Available in a variety of capacities up to 25 tons Ammonia, 10 tons Methyl Chloride, or 5 tons Freon.
ELECTRIC FLOAT SWITCHES are highly ef ficient for the maintaining of a constant liquid level in individual flooded evaporators. Particu larly desirable for use on tubular coolers. There is no liquid flow through the Float Switch. By means of its electric switch,
it operates a magnetic valve in the liquid line, thereby maintaining the desired liquid level to within a limit of less than
one inch.

The Dole Valve Company
Main Office and Factory:' 1901-1941Carroll Avenue, Chicago, 111.
Branch Offices and Representatives in All Principal Cities
The Dole Valve Company is a progressive manufacturer of air and vacuum valves for
one or two pipe steam and hot water heating systems.
There is a Dole Air and Vacuum Valve for every purpose. The line is complete and it
is kept up to date by aggressive designing, engineering and manufacturing policies.
Our latest contributions are the new DOLE NO. 3A (% in. connection), NO. 3B 04 in.
connection) and NO. 3C (% in. male, Y in. female connections) AIR VALVES. Here
is a picture of the No. 3C Air Valve.
"L1
These Dole Nos. 3A, 3B
and 3C Air Valves are
designed to meet the in
creasing demand for popu
larly priced straight shank
valves . that give satis
factory venting perform
ance on systems where ex
treme water conditions are
encountered. They posi
tively do not "stick" or
spit water and they insure
free venting at any pres
sure up'to 15 lb.
Look at the illustrated
installation suggestions.
Notice that a nipple con
nection is not required
when Dole No. 3 Air
Valves are installed on
either cast iron or copper
convectors, provided the
heater has sufficient space
to accommodate the
siphon tube. Do not cut
or bend this tube.
Another important ad
dition which rounds out
the Dole line is the DOLE
NO. 7 SIGNAL AIR
VALVE for venting con
cealed hot water convec
tors or radiators. This
valve actually signals the
operator when all the air
is expelled. It is very easy
to operate (no holding a
cup to catch the water overflow) and it is easy to install.
Dole Air and Vacuum Valves for other venting purposes on one or two pipe steam and
hot water heating systems are the No. 2B Vacuum Valve, No. 6B Vacuum Valve, No. 100
Vacuum Valve, No. 103 Vacuum Valve, No. 2 Vacuum Valve, No. 6 Vacuum Valve,
No. 1 Air Valve, No. 4 Quick Vent Valve, No. 5 Quick Vent Float Valve, No. 8 Quick
Vent Valve, No. 9 Quick Vent Vacuum Valve, No. 1933 Air Valve, No. 10 Hot Water
Key Valve and the Dole Compound Gauge.
Dole Air and Vacuum Valves that are equipped with the new Vari-Vent feature for
"balancing" one pipe steam heating systems are the No. 2B Vari-Vent Vacuum Valve,
No. 100 Vari-Vent Vacuum Valve, No.' 101 Vari-Vent Vacuum Valve, No. 1 Vari-Vent
Air Valve and hlo. 3A-Vari-Vent Air Valve.
We have prepared "folders and illustrated price sheets on the whole Dole Air and
Vacuum Valve line. These are not only informative but make splendid sales material.
They are yours for the asking.
