Description
The Copeland 058611 is a Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for reliable refrigerant metering in systems using R134a or R12 refrigerant. Designed without a flange for straightforward installation, this valve delivers precise superheat control to maximize system efficiency and protect the compressor from liquid slugging.
Key Features
- Compatible refrigerants: R134a / R12
- Nominal capacity: 1-1/2 Ton
- Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP): 55 PSI charge
- Inlet connection: 1/4″ SAE flare
- Equalization type: Externally equalized for accurate superheat control in longer evaporator circuits
- Capillary tube length: 5 ft (60 inches) for flexible bulb placement
- Valve style: Without flange (TCLE series)
- Model designation: TCLE 1 1/2 MW 55 SAE EE
Product Details
The externally equalized design compensates for pressure drop across the evaporator, making this TXV ideal for multi-circuit or longer evaporator coil applications where internal equalization would result in poor superheat control. The 55 PSI MOP charge limits the valve opening at high evaporator pressures, providing compressor protection during system startup and abnormal operating conditions.
Applications
- Residential and light commercial air conditioning systems
- Refrigeration equipment using R134a or R12 refrigerant
- Systems requiring externally equalized TXV control
- Retrofit and replacement applications for 1-1/2 ton evaporator circuits
