Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and features of SPF quick-release couplings used in air conditioning systems, particularly for modular cooling systems in various applications such as aircraft, helicopters, motorsports, and portable units.
Key Features:
  • Modularity and Ease of Use: SPF couplings allow for easy and quick assembly and disassembly, supporting up to 400 connections under normal conditions without the need for qualified maintenance personnel.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand frequent connections and disconnections, even under residual pressure, ensuring long-term reliability.
  • Lightweight Construction: Made from high-performance treated aluminum alloy, suitable for applications requiring reduced weight.
  • High Leaktightness: Features double sealing barriers to prevent coolant loss and maintain system integrity during storage and use.
  • Safety and Environmental Protection: Includes a reliable screw locking mechanism with a locking pin safety feature, non-spill flush face design to minimize fluid loss, and protective dust caps.
Technical Specifications:
  • Working Temperatures: EPDM seals: -40°C to +125°C; HNBR seals: -15°C to +125°C.
  • Pressure Ratings: Maximum working pressure of 80 bar with a maximum differential pneumatic pressure of 40 bar during connection and disconnection.
  • Flow Characteristics: Detailed flow rate and pressure drop charts for different SPF models (06, 09, 14, 17) using Freon R134a in both gaseous and liquid phases.
  • Seal Options: Various seal types available depending on the coolant and compressor oil used, with specific part numbers for EPDM and HNBR seals.
Applications and Recommendations:
  • SPF couplings are suitable for a wide range of applications, including aeronautics and motorsports, where frequent handling and extreme conditions are common.
  • For specific applications and additional testing, particularly in aeronautics, contact the manufacturer for tailored solutions.

SPF - Air conditioning-2

Frequent connections and disconnections of air conditioning systems ... The SPF quick-release couplings ensure modularity of cooling systems Easy to connect and disconnect, they ensure quick assembly and immediate use of modular cooling systems. They withstand a large number of connections/ disconnections even under residual pressure: up to 400 connections under normal conditions of use. High level of leaktightness Double sealing barriers for: - a large number of connections/disconnections without refilling the circuits with coolant, - preloading and prolonged storage of cooling components. Leaktight...
