Description
The Copeland 027973 (TCLE 12 HW 5FT 7/8X1 1/8 ODF S/T) is a heavy-duty Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for reliable refrigerant metering in large commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems. Designed for use with R22 and R407C refrigerants, this valve delivers precise superheat control at a 12-ton capacity rating, making it well-suited for demanding commercial cooling applications.
Built with a straight body configuration and ODF (Outside Diameter Fit) sweat connections, installation integrates cleanly into copper refrigerant piping. The externally equalized design ensures accurate pressure sensing at the evaporator outlet, compensating for pressure drop across the coil and maintaining stable superheat control even in longer or multi-circuit evaporators. A MOP (Maximum Operating Pressure) charge limits evaporator pressure during pull-down conditions, protecting the compressor from overload.
