Description
Copeland 055092 Externally Equalized Thermal Expansion Valve
The Copeland 055092 (Model HFES 1/4 RC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 ODF ANG) is a precision-engineered thermal expansion valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in commercial and light-commercial refrigeration systems. Built to handle R502 refrigerant, this angle body valve delivers consistent performance in medium-temperature applications where accurate superheat control is critical.
Key Features
- Refrigerant: Rated for R502 applications
- Capacity: 1/4 ton (medium temperature charge)
- Body Style: Angle body configuration for flexible installation in tight spaces
- Connections: 3/8″ inlet x 1/2″ outlet, sweat (ODF) connections for secure, leak-free brazing
- Capillary Tube: 5-foot capillary tube for remote bulb placement flexibility
- Equalization: Externally equalized design compensates for distributor and evaporator pressure drop, ensuring accurate superheat control
- Charge Type: Medium temperature charge for reliable operation across standard refrigeration temperature ranges
Application & Benefits
The externally equalized design of this TXV makes it ideal for evaporators with significant pressure drop, such as those using refrigerant distributors or multi-circuit coils. The angle body orientation simplifies installation in confined equipment spaces, while the sweat connections ensure a permanent, vibration-resistant joint. The 5-foot capillary tube provides ample reach for proper bulb placement on the suction line, enabling precise superheat sensing and stable system operation.
