Description
Overview
The Copeland 057354 (HFES 8 HW100 5FT 5/8×7/8 ODF S/T) is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in R22 and R407C systems. Featuring an externally equalized design and a 5-foot capillary tube, this valve delivers accurate superheat control across a wide range of operating conditions — making it an ideal choice for commercial and residential HVAC/R applications.
Key Features
- Compatible refrigerants: R22 and R407C
- Inlet connection: 5/8″ ODF sweat
- Outlet connection: 7/8″ ODF sweat
- Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) charge: 100 PSI
- Capillary tube length: 5 feet for flexible bulb placement
- Externally equalized design for accurate superheat sensing in systems with higher pressure drops
- Sweat (solder) connections for secure, leak-free installation
- ODF (Outside Diameter Female) fittings for standard copper tubing compatibility
Externally Equalized Design
The external equalizer port connects downstream of the evaporator outlet, compensating for pressure drop across the evaporator coil. This ensures precise superheat control and prevents refrigerant flooding or starving — critical for system efficiency and compressor protection.
MOP Charge Protection
The 100 PSI Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) charge limits the valve’s opening at high evaporator temperatures, protecting the compressor from overloading during pull-down or high-load conditions.
