Description
The Emerson Flow Control (Alco) 054917 Thermostatic Expansion Valve is a high quality valve used to expand and regulate the flow of refrigerant into evaporators in air conditioning systems. The valve connection size is 3/8 inch x 1/2 inch and the capillary length is 5 feet, which helps properly control refrigerant, thereby improving the system’s efficiency. It controls the refrigerant flow depending on the evaporator temperature to achieve the correct superheat level. Advantages are increased energy savings, decreased stress on the compressor parts, and increased capacity for cooling, making it appropriate for use in air conditioning and refrigeration.
