Description
The Sporlan Controls 169423 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) engineered for use with R404A refrigerant in 1.5-ton cooling applications. Designed for precise refrigerant metering, this valve helps maintain optimal evaporator performance by modulating refrigerant flow in response to superheat conditions at the evaporator outlet. The included 5-foot external equalizer line allows accurate pressure sensing downstream of the valve, making it well-suited for systems with higher pressure drops across the evaporator coil.
Sporlan, a Parker brand, is a trusted name in refrigeration controls and has decades of experience delivering reliable, high-quality expansion valves for commercial and light commercial refrigeration systems. The 169423 is built to Sporlan’s exacting standards for consistent superheat control, long service life, and compatibility with modern HFC refrigerant blends.
