Application
The Copeland 054361 TXV is ideal for use in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems utilizing R22 or the popular R407C drop-in replacement refrigerant. The externally equalized design makes it especially well-suited for systems with distributor assemblies or longer evaporator circuits where pressure drop across the coil is a factor. The 5-foot capillary tube provides installation flexibility, allowing the sensing bulb to be positioned accurately on the suction line for optimal superheat measurement.
