Application
The Sporlan 169458 TXV is ideal for use in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, chillers, and commercial refrigeration systems requiring precise superheat control at the 8-ton capacity range. The external equalizer line allows the valve to accurately sense evaporator outlet pressure independently of the inlet, making it the preferred choice for systems with multi-circuit or distributor-fed evaporators where significant pressure drop across the coil is expected. Sporlan’s reputation for quality and consistency makes this valve a trusted choice among HVAC/R professionals.
