Thermostatic expansion valve

Type T 2 and TE 2

Thermostatic expansion valves maintain a constant superheat level at the evaporator outlet

Thermostatic expansion valves regulate the injection of refrigerant liquid into evaporators.

Injection is controlled by the refrigerant superheat.

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.

4Superheat setting spindle (see instructions)

T2 and TE2 valves have an interchangeable oriƒce assembly.

The oriƒce assembly is suitable for all versions of valve body and refrigerants and in all evaporating temperature ranges.

The charge in the thermostatic element depends on the refrigerant and evaporating temperature range.

The valves are available with internal (T2) or external (TE2) pressure equalization.

External pressure equalization should always be used on systems with liquid distributors. The bulb gives fast and precise reaction to temperature changes in the evaporator. The bulb is ƒxed with a Danfoss patented bulb strap for quick, easy and reliable connection. The valves are able to withstand the e…ects 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.

Superheat

SS = static superheat OS = opening superheat

SH = SS + OS = total superheat Qnom = rated capacity

Qmax= maximum capacity

Static superheat SS can be adjusted with setting spindle. Standard superheat setting SS is 4K for all standard valves.

The opening superheat OS is 6 K from when opening begins to where the valve gives its rated capacity Qnom.

Example

Static superheat SS = 5 K Opening superheat OS = 6 K Total superheat SH = 5 + 6 = 11 K

The rated capacity is based on:

Evaporating temperature te = 4.4 °C

Condensing temperature tc = 38 °C

Refrigerant temperature ahead of valve tl = 37 °C

Valve selection based on capacity calculation

As for extended capacity calculations and valve selection based on capacities and refrigerants, please refer to Coolselector®2. Rated and extended capacities are calculated with the Coolselector®2 calculation engine to ARI standards with the ASEREP equations based on laboratory measurements of selected valves.

How to select a valve

Example: Refrigerant = R407C Q (capacity) = 1.1kW

Tcond (condensing temperature) = 25 °C Tevap (evaporator temperature) = -30 °C Tsub (subcooling temperature) = 2 K Dpd (distributer pressure drop) = 1 bar Q (capacity) = 1.1kW

fsub (subcooling correction factor) = 0.98 fp (distribution correction factor) = 0.96

Q

= selected capacity

fsub×fp

1.1

 

= 1.17 kW

0.98 × 0.96

The selection will be: TE2 oriƒce 00 (1.21 kW > 1.17 kW)
