3 Introduction Thermostatic expansion valves regulate the injection of refrigerant liquid into evaporators. Injection is controlled by the refrigerant superheat. Therefore the valves are especially suitable for liquid injection in dry evaporators where the superheat at the evaporator outlet is proportional to the evaporator load. Features Large temperature range Equally applicable to freezing, refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Interchangeable orifice assembly easier stocking easy capacity matching better service. Rated capacities from 0.5 to kw (0.5 to TR) for R22. Can be supplied with MOP (Max. Operating Pressure) Protects the compressor motor against excessive evaporating pressure during normal operation. Stainless steel bulb Fast and easy to install. Good temperature transfer from pipe to bulb. Valves for special temperature ranges can be supplied.

TE valves with mm outlet have 6 mm pressure equalization. Solder adaptor The adaptor is for use with thermostatic expansion valves T 2 and TE 2 with flare solder connections. When the adaptor is fitted correctly it meets the sealing requirements of DIN The adaptor offers the following advantages: The orifice assembly can be replaced. The filter can be cleaned or replaced. When using the solder adapter, a special orifice assembly is required. Please use the following tables to select both the appropriate adapter and orifice asembly. Only in this way can the sealing requirements of DIN 8964 be fulfilled. Solder adaptor for filter drier (FSA) may not be used in the T 2 inlet. Flare connections See previous page.

10 Design Function General T 2 and TE 2 valves have an interchangeable orifice assembly. For the same valve type and refrigerant, the associated orifice assembly is suitable for all versions of valve body and in all evaporating temperature ranges. The charge in the thermostatic element depends on the evaporating temperature range. The valves can be equipped with internal (T 2) or external (TE 2) pressure equalization. External pressure equalization should always be used on systems with liquid distributors. The double contact bulb gives fast and precise reaction to temperature changes in the evaporator. It also makes fitting the bulb quick and easy. The valves are able to withstand the effects that normally occur with hot gas defrosting. To ensure long operating life, the valve cone and seat are made of a special alloy with particularly good wear qualities.. Thermostatic element (diaphragm) 2. Interchangeable orifice assembly 3.

11 Identification The thermostatic element is fitted with a laser engraving on top of the diaphragm. This engraving gives valve type (with code number), evaporating temperature range, MOP point, refrigerant, and max. working pressure, PS/MWP. The code refers to the refrigerant for which the valve is designed: X = R22 Z = R407C N = R34a S = R4A/ R507 45A Orifice assembly for T 2 and TE 2 The orifice assembly is marked with the orifice size (e.g. ) and week stamp + last number in the year (e.g. 74). The orifice assembly number is also given on the lid of its plastic container. Capillary tube label for T 2 and TE 2 The label gives the orifice size () and consists of the lid of the orifice assembly plastic container. It can easily be fastened around the expansion valve capillary tube to clearly identify the valve size.
