Description
Overview
The Copeland 053916 is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Built to handle both R22 and R407C refrigerants, this externally equalized valve delivers accurate superheat control at a 3-ton capacity, making it a dependable choice for service, replacement, and new installation work.
Key Features
- Model: HFES 3 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 ODF S/T
- Refrigerant compatibility: R22 and R407C
- Nominal capacity: 3 Ton
- Temperature application: Medium temperature charge
- Body style: Straight body configuration
- Capillary tube length: 5 feet for flexible bulb placement
- External equalization: Ensures accurate superheat control across varying load conditions
- Connection type: Sweat (ODF) connections for secure, leak-free installation
- Inlet connection size: 3/8″ ODF sweat
- Outlet connection size: 1/2″ ODF sweat
Application
This TXV is ideally suited for medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems and air conditioning equipment using R22 or R407C refrigerant. The externally equalized design compensates for pressure drop across the evaporator, providing consistent superheat regulation even in longer or higher-pressure-drop coil configurations. The 5-foot capillary tube allows flexible remote bulb positioning for optimal sensing.
Installation Notes
- Use with externally equalized evaporators requiring a remote equalizer connection
- Sweat (ODF) connections require standard brazing procedures
- Secure the remote sensing bulb firmly to the suction line per manufacturer guidelines
- Compatible with systems designed for R22 or R407C refrigerant circuits
