Description
The Trane VAL5023 is an OEM-quality Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for reliable refrigerant metering in R-22 air conditioning and cooling systems rated at 6 tons of capacity. Designed as a direct replacement for compatible Trane equipment, this valve ensures precise control of refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, optimizing system efficiency, preventing flood-back, and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging.
With 3/8″ liquid-line inlet and 1/2″ outlet connections, the VAL5023 is sized for straightforward integration into existing 6-ton R-22 system linesets. Its thermostatic sensing mechanism continuously adjusts refrigerant flow in response to evaporator superheat, keeping the system operating within its designed performance envelope.
