Thermostatic expansion valves
Type TGE
The TGE series of thermostatic expansion valves have balanced port design
TGE is a dedicated designed series of thermostatic expansion valves for all standard refrigerants.
The tight design meets the environmental demands for today and future. Versions for non standard refrigerants can be produced to order.
Applications
• Water chillers
• Bus A/C
• Rooftop units
• Heat pumps
• Refrigerated containers
• Others A/C and refrigeration system

Balanced port design and advantage
The TGE series of thermostatic expansion valves have balanced port design.
Balanced port design prevents changes in pressure drop across the valve from influencing operation and provides excellent control on applications having widely varying operating conditions.
Balanced port TXV’s are recommended in refrigeration and air conditioning systems with any combinations of these conditions:
1.Widely varying head pressures
2.Widely varying evaporator loads
3.Widely varying pressure drop across the TXV
4.Fluctuating or extremely low liquid temperatures
5.Intermittent liquid line flash gas
TGE valves are designed for biflow operations. TGE 10 has minor capacity reduction in reverse flow.

The central push pin is fitted with a robust seal (Pos 4) that ensures maximum tightness for the life of the valve.
Static superheat (SS) can be adjusted by the setting spindle (Pos 7), see Figure 1: Balanced port design TGE 10 & .Figure 2: Double balanced port design TGE 20 and TGE 40
The standard superheat setting (SS) is 4K / 7.2 °F and adjustable for 0 – 8K / 0 – 14.4 °F.
SS = Static Superheat
OS = Opening Superheat
SH = SS + OS = total superheat
Example:
Static superheat SS = 4K / 7.2 °F
Opening superheat OS = 4K / 7.2 °F
The opening superheat is 4K / 7.2 °F, i.e. from the point the valve begins to open up to rated capacity. Opening superheat is determined by the design and cannot be changed.
Total superheat SH = SS + OS
SH = 4 + 4 = 8K / 14.4 °F
Total superheat SH can be altered by changing SS (by using the setting spindle).

Figure 5: A heat pump system similar to that in fig. 4 but with a more compact design, where the distance between evaporator and condenser is very short. This system has only one bi–flow TGE valve metering liquid refrigerant eƒectively in both directions. Changeover is by means of a 4–way valve. A suction filter drier is often placed in suction lines just before the compressor. The normal flow direction of TGE is determined by the primary function, i.e. cooling or heating
