New Equipment & OEM
APR Control or APR‑E Valve on New Equipment
Rawal Devices offers more than just a retrofit solution. Design engineers, OEMs, modifiers, contractors, and distribution partners use APR-equipped systems to deliver continuous capacity modulation from day one. By pairing our technology with more economical equipment, they can achieve performance comparable to variable-speed systems while remaining cost competitive and winning more jobs.
The cost-effective alternative
Modulating performance, without the variable-speed price
Pair standard single-stage equipment with the APR Control and ship a unit that modulates like variable speed or digital scroll, at a fraction of the added cost. It is a maintenance-free mechanical valve: part-load performance and humidity control with none of the electrical failure points that drive warranty claims, and full rated capacity on design day.
Value engineering
For OEMs and modifiers, the APR Control is the line item that makes standard equipment bid-competitive: pair it with standard single-stage equipment and the unit meets a modulating-performance spec without the cost of a variable-capacity system, so the standard unit wins the bid on price. Equipment dealers use the same move to win competitive projects while still meeting the performance requirement.
Why build APR Control into new equipment
Oversizing is not only an old-equipment problem. New systems are sized for a design day too, so they spend most of their life oversized. APR Control gives a new system continuous capacity modulation from the start, so it runs at part load instead of short cycling, for the same comfort, humidity, reliability, and part-load energy benefits.
- Spec with zero design-day risk: no impact on the unit's rated capacity during design day conditions
- Turn a constant-volume unit into VAV-style part-load behavior by pairing APR Control with fan-speed control
- Sized to the lead compressor through a complimentary Rawal Devices Engineering consultation
- Built for the A2L era: compatible with R-410A, R-454B, and R-32
- Both products: mechanical APR Control, or electronic APR‑E Valve where new DOAS and process systems need discharge-air precision
Or start by what you need
Who installs it
OEMs & Third-Party Modifiers
Factory-installed modulation on standard units, so the equipment ships ready to run instead of cycle.
Contractors
Added on new installs with the same three refrigerant connections as a retrofit.
Design Engineers
Specified into the design so the system is right-sized and modulating from commissioning.
Distributors: distributor-sourced business is always honored and supported. Send us the application and Rawal Devices Engineering backs the sale with sizing and engineering support.
