Description
The Sporlan Controls OYE-55-CP is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) engineered for use with R454B refrigerant, a low-GWP A2L refrigerant increasingly specified in modern commercial and light commercial refrigeration systems. Designed with a no-bleed seat, this valve prevents refrigerant migration during off cycles, helping maintain system efficiency and reducing the risk of liquid slugging at startup. The OYE series is a trusted Sporlan platform known for precise superheat control and long-term reliability in demanding refrigeration applications.
Key Features
- Rated for R454B refrigerant — a low-GWP, A2L next-generation refrigerant
- No-bleed valve design prevents refrigerant migration during off cycles
- 9×11 ODF solder connections for secure, leak-free installation
- 5-foot capillary tube for flexible bulb placement and routing
- Externally equalized design for accurate superheat control across varying load conditions
- Sporlan OYE series construction for durable, long-service performance
Application
The OYE-55-CP is well suited for commercial refrigeration systems transitioning to or designed around R454B. The externally equalized valve body accommodates systems with distributor nozzles or longer evaporator circuits where pressure drop across the evaporator must be compensated. The no-bleed feature makes it an ideal choice for systems requiring tight pressure control during the off cycle.
