What Is a Non-Bleed TXV?
A non-bleed thermostatic expansion valve does not allow refrigerant to bleed through the valve seat when the system is off. This prevents pressure equalization across the system during the off cycle, which is critical for systems using a hard-start compressor or where refrigerant migration could cause liquid slugging at startup.
Applications
- ICP, Heil, Tempstar, Arcoaire, and Comfortmaker residential split systems
- 2.0-ton cooling systems requiring TXV refrigerant metering
- Service and replacement applications on compatible ICP-platform equipment
Why Choose OEM?
Using an OEM TXV from International Comfort Products ensures the valve is matched to the system’s design specifications, preserving efficiency ratings, warranty compliance, and long-term reliability. Always verify compatibility with your specific model number before installation.
