Application
Designed specifically for heat pump applications, the Copeland 056818 TXV regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil to maintain optimal superheat under varying load conditions. The external equalizer port compensates for pressure drop across the evaporator, making this valve ideal for multi-circuit or larger coil assemblies. The 5-foot capillary tube provides installation flexibility, allowing the sensing bulb to be positioned precisely at the evaporator outlet.
