Description
Overview
The Copeland 055827 is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in residential and light commercial cooling systems. Rated at 1/2 ton capacity and compatible with both R22 and R407C refrigerants, this valve delivers consistent performance under medium temperature charge conditions. Its externally equalized design ensures accurate superheat control even in systems with higher pressure drops across the evaporator, making it an ideal choice for demanding HVAC applications.
Key Features
- Refrigerant compatibility: R22 and R407C
- Capacity: 1/2 Ton, medium temperature charge
- Connection type: Sweat (ODF) — 3/8″ inlet x 1/2″ outlet
- Body style: Straight body configuration
- Capillary tube length: 5 feet for flexible bulb placement
- Externally equalized for accurate superheat control in systems with evaporator pressure drop
- Model: HFES 1/2 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 ODF S/T
Benefits
- Precise refrigerant metering improves system efficiency and protects the compressor from liquid slugging
