Description
The Copeland 054401 is a TCLE series, 7-1/2-ton externally equalized Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for reliable refrigerant metering in commercial and light-industrial refrigeration systems. Designed specifically for R22 refrigerant at medium temperature charge applications, this valve delivers precise superheat control to maximize system efficiency and protect the compressor from liquid slugging.
The valve features an SAE external connection with a 5-foot capillary tube length, providing installation flexibility in a wide range of system configurations. The externally equalized design ensures accurate pressure sensing at the evaporator outlet, making it ideal for use with multi-circuit or longer evaporator coils where pressure drop is a concern. Supplied in a VLF (Valve Less Flange) configuration for direct integration into existing piping assemblies.
