Danfoss SCA-X / CHV-X Check Valves
SCA-X is a check valve with a built-in stop (shut-off) valve function — one valve does the work of a separate check valve plus stop valve. CHV-X is a single-function check valve. Both open at extremely low differential pressure with excellent flow characteristics, and are easy to inspect, service and overhaul. Available in angle and straight-way bodies, in 52 bar and 65 bar versions — download the datasheet matching your required pressure rating below.

Key features
- Opens at only 0.04 bar (0.58 psig) differential pressure
- Built-in damping chamber prevents flutter and pulsation at low refrigerant flow or density
- SCA-X back-sealing: stem packing can be replaced under pressure while the system runs
- Modular Flexline concept: convert to any other SVL product (regulating, stop, strainer) by replacing the complete top part — no welding
- Laser-cut V-port for excellent regulating performance (SCA-X/CHV-X 50–125)
- Low-temperature steel body and bonnet; 42CrMo5 high-pressure bolts
- Approvals: DNV, CRN, BV, EAC, PED (contact us for the current certificate list)

CHV-140B — 140 bar series for CO2 transcritical
For industrial CO2 transcritical systems, the CHV-140B series (Flexline SVL-140B platform) offers the same check-valve function at 140 bar (2030 psi): opens at 0.04 bar differential pressure, built-in damping chamber against pulsation, DN 15 – DN 100 (½″ – 4″), angle or straight-way, low-temperature steel. UL / CRN approved.
SCA-X SS / CHV-X SS — stainless steel series
For corrosive environments (coastal installations, outdoor applications, food plants with daily detergent treatment), the SCA-X SS / CHV-X SS series offers the same check (and stop-check) function in special cold-resistant stainless steel: 52 bar g (754 psig), –60 – +150 °C, butt-weld DIN / ANSI connections, DNV / CRN / BV / EAC approved. SCA-X SS retains the internal backseating for spindle-seal replacement under pressure.
Applications
- Compressor discharge lines — SCA-X stop-check prevents backflow and isolates the compressor
- Oil separator outlets and liquid lines requiring backflow protection
- Any industrial refrigeration line needing a check valve with minimal pressure drop

Frequently asked questions
What is the Danfoss CHV-X check valve used for?
The CHV-X is a check valve that prevents refrigerant backflow in industrial refrigeration systems — for example stopping high-pressure gas flowing back to the compressor on shutdown.
What is the difference between CHV-X and SCA-X?
The CHV-X is a check valve only. The SCA-X combines a check valve with a built-in shut-off valve, so it can also isolate the line for service.
At what pressure does the CHV-X open?
The CHV-X is designed to open at a very low differential pressure of 0.04 bar, minimizing pressure loss in normal flow.
What pressure is the CHV-X rated for?
The standard CHV-X range is rated 52 bar; a 65 bar version is also available. Older documentation without a pressure marking refers to the 52 bar version — confirm the rating when ordering. We also supply 65 bar and 120 bar versions — contact us if you need them.
Which refrigerants is the CHV-X suitable for?
The CHV-X is applicable to HCFC, HFC, R717 (ammonia) and R744 (CO2).
What sizes are available?
The CHV-X range covers DN 15 to DN 125 (1/2 to 5 in.).
Where is a check valve typically installed?
Typical locations include compressor discharge lines, hot gas lines and liquid lines where reverse flow must be prevented — for instance between the compressor and the oil separator or condenser.
Is this a genuine Danfoss product? How long is delivery?
Yes. We are an authorized Danfoss industrial refrigeration distributor in China, listed in Danfoss China’s official authorized dealer directory. All valves are brand-new, genuine stock with valid warranty. We ship from China; express delivery takes about 1–2 weeks to most destinations worldwide.
