Description
The Copeland 054395 (TCLE 3 HC) is a 3-ton, R22 refrigerant, externally equalized Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for medium-temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Supplied without a flange (VLF — Valve Less Flange), it is engineered for precise refrigerant metering and superior superheat control in demanding HVAC/R systems.
Key Features
- 3-ton capacity for medium-temperature refrigeration applications
- Compatible with R22 refrigerant
- Medium-temperature charge for reliable operation across standard refrigeration temperature ranges
- SAE external equalizer port for accurate downstream pressure sensing
- 5-foot (5 ft) capillary tube length for flexible installation and remote bulb placement
- Externally equalized design ensures consistent superheat control regardless of evaporator pressure drop
- Valve Less Flange (VLF) configuration — no flange included for streamlined integration
Application
The externally equalized TXV is ideal for evaporators with significant pressure drop, multi-circuit coils, or distributor-fed systems where internal equalization would result in inaccurate superheat control. The 5-foot capillary tube provides installation flexibility for remote sensing bulb placement on the suction line.
