Description
Overview
The Copeland 055931 (Model HFES 2.5 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 ODF S/T) is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature commercial and residential HVAC/R applications. Built to handle both R-22 and R-407C refrigerants, this externally equalized valve ensures accurate superheat control and consistent system performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
Key Features
- Refrigerant compatibility: R-22 and R-407C
- Nominal capacity: 2.5 tons — ideal for medium-sized cooling systems
- Medium temperature charge for reliable operation in standard cooling applications
- Externally equalized design compensates for evaporator pressure drop, improving superheat accuracy
- Straight body configuration for straightforward installation and compact footprint
- Sweat (ODF) connections for secure, leak-free brazed joints
- Inlet connection: 3/8″ ODF sweat
- Outlet connection: 1/2″ ODF sweat
- 5-foot capillary tube for flexible remote bulb placement
Application
This TXV is well-suited for use in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems operating on R-22 or R-407C refrigerant. The externally equalized design makes it especially effective on evaporators with a significant pressure drop across the coil, ensuring stable superheat control and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging.
