Description
Carrier 33B0006N16 Thermostatic Expansion Valve Overview
The Carrier 33B0006N16 is a factory-engineered thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) designed to deliver precise refrigerant metering and consistent system performance in residential and light commercial HVAC applications. With a 3/8″ ODF connection, a 30″ capillary tube, and a built-in 15% bleed feature, this TXV is engineered to maintain optimal superheat levels and protect the compressor under varying load conditions.
Key Features
- 3/8″ ODF refrigerant connection for straightforward installation on compatible Carrier systems
- 30″ capillary tube provides flexible bulb placement and routing during installation
- 15% bleed design allows a controlled refrigerant bypass to maintain stable pressure and prevent liquid slugging at startup
- Precision-calibrated valve body ensures accurate superheat control across a wide range of operating conditions
- OEM Carrier part — engineered for direct compatibility with Carrier equipment
Why Choose a TXV with a Bleed Feature?
A bleed-type TXV allows a small percentage of refrigerant to pass through the valve even when it is fully closed. This 15% bleed rate helps equalize system pressures during the off cycle, reducing compressor start-up torque and extending equipment life. It also minimizes the need for a hard-start kit in many applications.
Application
- Designed for use in Carrier residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps
- Ideal for replacement or service of existing Carrier TXV assemblies
- Compatible with systems using the 3/8″ ODF liquid line connection
