Thermostatic expansion valves, type TE 5 - TE 55

Introduction

Thermostatic expansion valves regulate the

injection of refrigerant liquid into evaporators.
Injection is controlled by the refrigerant
superheat.
Features

Danfoss A/S (RC-CMS / HBS), 04 - 2004

Large temperature range:

76F to +50F
Equally applicable to freezing, refrigeration
and air conditioning plant.
Interchangeable orice assembly
easier stocking
easy capacity matching
better service.
Stainless steel power element, capillary tube and
bulb
high corrosion resistance
high strength and vibration resistance
fast installation: self-aligning bulb
good thermal contact and transmission

RD1AY422

Therefore the valves are especially suitable for

liquid injection in dry evaporators where the
superheat at the evaporator outlet is proportional
to the evaporator load.
Rated capacities from 5.5 to 100 TR for R22
Can be supplied with MOP
(Max. Operating Pressure)
Protects the compressor motor against
excessive evaporating pressure.
Patented double contact bulb
Fast and easy to install.
Good temperature transfer from pipe to
bulb.

Static superheat SS can be adjusted with setting

spindle.
The standard superheat setting SS is 9 F for valves
without MOP and 7.2 F for valves with MOP.
The opening superheat OS is 11 F from when

Thermostatic expansion valves, type TE 5 - TE 55

Design/Function

General
TE 5 and TE 55 valves have an interchangeable
orice assembly.
TE 5 and TE 55 valves are built up of three
interchangeable main components:
I. Thermostatic element, 1
II. Orice assembly, 2
III. Valve body with connections, 3
For the same valve type and refrigerant, the
associated orice assembly is suitable for all
versions of valve body and in all evaporating
temperature ranges.

The charge in the thermostatic element depends

on the evaporating temperature range. The
valves are equipped with external pressure
equalization.
External pressure equalization should always be
used on systems with liquid distributors.
The double contact bulb gives fast and precise
reaction to temperature changes in the
evaporator. It also makes tting the bulb quick
and easy.
The valves are able to withstand the eects that
normally occur with hot gas defrosting.
To ensure long operating life, the valve cone and
seat are made of a special alloy with particularly
good wear qualities.

Thermostatic expansion valves, type TE 5 - TE 55

Identication

The thermostatic element is tted with a label

(on top of the diaphragm).The code refers to the
refrigerant for which the valve is designed:
X=
N=
S =
Z=

R22
R134a
R404A/R507
R407C

The label gives valve type, evaporating

temperature range, MOP point, refrigerant, and
max. test pressure, PS.
With TE 20 and TE 55 the rated capacity is
stamped on a band label fastened to the valve

Element label

Orice assembly for TE 5, TE 12, 20 and 55

The orice assembly is marked on top of the
spring cup, e.g. as shown in the gure.
For a given size of valve, the same orice
assembly can be used for valves with ranges N
and B.
The thermostatic elements are dierent however:
On TE 5 and TE 12
the upper stamp (TE 12) indicates for which
valve type the orice can be used. The lower
stamp (01) is the orice size.
On TE 20 and TE 55
the upper stamp (N/B 50/35 TR) indicates
the rated capacity in the two evaporating
temperature ranges N and B, and the
refrigerant.
(50/35 TR = 175 kW in range N and
123 kW in range B).
The lower stamp (TEX 55) refers to the valve
type for which the assembly can be used.
