- Sporlan’s proven valve construction for long service life and consistent performance
- Suitable for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications
Why Choose an External Equalizer TXV?
External equalizer valves are the preferred solution when evaporator pressure drop is significant — a common condition in distributor-fed evaporators and longer coil circuits. By sensing downstream pressure directly at the evaporator outlet, the external equalizer eliminates the risk of flood-back and protects the compressor, while maximizing evaporator efficiency and system capacity.
