Description
The Copeland 009955 (Model HFE 1/2 FC 5FT 1/4 x 1/2 SAE ANG) is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Built with an angle body configuration and external equalization, this valve delivers accurate superheat control and consistent system performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
Key Features
- Refrigerant: Rated for R12 applications
- Capacity: 1/2 Ton
- Temperature Range: Medium temperature charge
- Equalization Type: Externally equalized for accurate superheat control in systems with higher pressure drops across the evaporator
- Body Style: Angle body design for flexible installation in tight or angled piping configurations
- Capillary Tube: 5-foot capillary tube for remote bulb placement flexibility
- Inlet Connection: 1/4″ SAE flare
- Outlet Connection: 1/2″ SAE flare
Why Choose an Externally Equalized TXV?
External equalization connects the equalizer line downstream of the valve outlet, sensing actual evaporator outlet pressure rather than valve outlet pressure. This is especially important in systems with distributor nozzles or long evaporator circuits where pressure drop across the evaporator is significant — ensuring precise superheat control and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging.
Ideal Applications
- Medium-temperature refrigeration systems using R12 refrigerant
- Commercial refrigeration display cases and walk-in coolers
- Air conditioning systems requiring accurate refrigerant metering
- Replacement TXV for OEM and aftermarket service applications
