Thermostatic expansion valves

Type TE 5 – TE 55

The TE 5 - TE 55 series expansion valve regulate
the injection of refrigerant into evaporators.
It controls the refrigerant ow based on the
superheat. The exchangeable power element
is produced with the well known Danfoss laser
welding technology for extended lifetime
capability. The TE 5 - TE 55 series is available with
a wide range of orices which will cover a wide
range of applications.

Applications:

- Air conditioning system

- Chiller

- Cold room

- Freezer

- Other refrigeration systems

Features • Wide operating range:

Identication

The thermostatic element is tted with a label (on
top of the diaphragm).

The label holds information like valve type,
evaporating temperature range, MOP point,
refrigerant, max. working pressure PS / MWP and
production date.

Production place and date (BE1315B) mean:
BE = Wuqing, China
13 = Week
15 = Year 2015

Design / Function

General

TE 5 – TE 55 valves have an interchangeable
orice assembly.

TE 5 – TE 55 valves are built up of three main
components (Parts program):

1. Thermostatic element

2. Orice assembly

3. Valve body with connections

1. Thermostatic
element

2. Orice assembly

3. Valve body with

The orice is refrigerant and range independend.

All valves are equipped with external pressure
equalization.

To ensure long operating life, the valve cone and
seat are made of a special alloy with particularly
good wear properties.

1. Thermostatic element.

2. Interchangeable orice assembly.

3. Valve body.

4. Superheat setting spindle.

5. External pressure equalizing
connection with 1⁄4 in / 6 mm are nut
(solder is available on TE 5).
