Thermostatic Expansion Valve TXV 1/2" x 5/8" ODF Solder Sporlan EBQE 168554 Refrigeration

The Sporlan Thermostatic Expansion Valve 168554, specifically the EBQE Body 4x5x2, is a critical component in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Sporlan, a leading manufacturer in the HVAC industry, has developed this valve to help regulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. This regulation ensures efficient cooling performance by maintaining optimal system pressure and temperature, thereby enhancing overall system efficiency. The EBQE model is particularly known for its durability and reliability, making it suitable for both commercial and residential applications. This valve is designed to automatically adjust the refrigerant flow based on the temperature at the evaporator outlet, allowing for precise temperature control within the cooling system. Unlike fixed or manually operated valves, the thermostatic nature of the EBQE allows for greater adaptability to varying load requirements. Unique features of the Sporlan EBQE Thermostatic Expansion Valve include: - High resistance to corrosion due to quality materials used - Enhanced energy efficiency by optimizing refrigerant flow - Simplified installation process with standardized connections - Compatibility with a wide range of refrigerants, making it versatile for various systems Overall, the Sporlan Thermostatic Expansion Valve 168554 is an essential component that plays a pivotal role in achieving effective temperature control in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

REFRIGERANT: This is a valve BODY, so it is not charged for any one refrigerant. The EBQ family is approved for R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-410A, R-507, R-12, R-401A, R-402A, R-408A, R-409A and R-422D. The refrigerant is determined by the thermostatic element and cartridge fitted to it: KT-43 element for the R-22 family, KT-45 element for R-410A. R-410A elements are approved for the BQ, EBQ and SBQ balanced-port bodies only, so this body IS R-410A capable, unlike the conventional-port Q, EQ and SQ bodies. Manufacturer: Sporlan Division, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Washington, Missouri, USA Part number: 168554 Valve type: EBQE. E for extended ODF solder connections, B for balanced port construction, Q for replaceable cartridge, E for external equalizer. Connections: 1/2 in ODF solder inlet x 5/8 in ODF solder outlet x 1/4 in ODF solder external equalizer. This is the 4 x 5 x 2 code marked on the record, read in eighths of an inch. ODF means a female connection sized to receive copper tubing of the corresponding OD. Inlet strainer: 100 mesh insert strainer, Sporlan part number 877-004 for the 1/2 in ODF inlet Element joint: knife edge, metal to metal. Element size No. 43 for R-22, No. 45 for R-410A. Bi-directional: the EBQ balanced-port body is approved for bi-directional applications Body and internals: machined brass bar body, brass seat, stainless steel pin, brass pin carrier, stainless steel pushrod, extended copper fittings silver soldered to the body Net weight: 1 lb (454 g) Shipping weight: 1-1/2 lb (680 g) Cartridge range accepted: BQC-AAA, BQC-AA, BQC-A, BQC-B and BQC-C, giving 1/8 through 5-1/2 tons on R-22 and 1/4 through 6 tons on R-410A Note: a complete valve requires three parts, being the body, the cartridge and the thermostatic element. This listing is the body only. Sourcing the cartridge and element to match your refrigerant and tonnage is the buyer's responsibility, and we can help match them.
