Description
The International Comfort Products 1183870 is an OEM thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) engineered for 5-ton R-410A heat pump systems. Designed as a bi-flow valve, it allows refrigerant to meter properly in both the heating and cooling directions — making it the ideal direct replacement for heat pump applications where the refrigerant circuit reverses seasonally.
TXVs are critical to system efficiency and reliability. By precisely regulating refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil and maintaining consistent superheat, this valve helps protect the compressor from liquid slugging, optimizes system capacity, and improves overall energy efficiency. The bi-flow design eliminates the need for a separate check valve and TXV in parallel, simplifying the refrigerant circuit and reducing potential leak points.
This valve is an OEM-specified component sourced directly from International Comfort Products, ensuring compatibility and fit with ICP, Heil, Tempstar, Arcoaire, and other brands within the ICP family of products.
