Description
Copeland 054936 Externally Equalized Thermal Expansion Valve
The Copeland 054936 (Model HFE 1 1/2 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 SAE ANG) is a precision-engineered thermal expansion valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature HVAC and refrigeration applications. With an angle body configuration, SAE flare connections, and external equalization, this valve delivers accurate superheat control and consistent system performance.
Key Features
- Model: HFE 1 1/2 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 SAE ANG
- Inlet connection: 3/8″ SAE flare
- Outlet connection: 1/2″ SAE flare
- Body style: Angle body for flexible installation in tight spaces
- Capillary tube length: 5 feet for versatile bulb placement
- Compatible refrigerants: R-22 and R-407C
- Nominal capacity: 1.5 tons
- Temperature range: Medium temperature charge
- Equalization type: Externally equalized for accurate superheat control across longer evaporators
Application & Benefits
The external equalizer port compensates for pressure drop across the evaporator, ensuring precise superheat regulation even in systems with higher refrigerant-side pressure losses. The angle body design simplifies installation in confined equipment spaces, while the 5-foot capillary tube allows the sensing bulb to be positioned optimally on the suction line. Dual refrigerant compatibility with R-22 and R-407C makes this valve a practical choice for both existing and retrofitted systems.
