Data Sheet
Thermostatic Expansion Valves
Type TR6
The TR6 series is a hermetic design which is
developed with features especially for use in
applications such as:
• Residential air conditioning systems
• Split systems
• Roof top units
• Heat pumps
• Chillers
• Light commercial air conditioning systems
The TR6 design incorporates a forged brass
body with the entire power element, including
the capillary tube and bulb, fabricated from
stainless steel. All valves are designed with
balanced port which reduces the inuence
from varying condensing pressures. The valves
can be delivered with special connections and
ttings both at the inlet, outlet, and the
equalizer connection.

Thermostatic Expansion Valves, Type TR6
Application
Traditional air conditioning system, cooling only
Figure 1: Traditional air conditioning system, cooling only
Illustrates the diagram of a traditional air conditioning system where the TR6 is controlling liquid injection in one
direction only.
Traditional air conditioning / heat pump system
Figure 2: Traditional air conditioning / heat pump system
Illustrates a split air conditioning / heat pump system with two thermostatic expansion valves, one for cooling mode
and one for heating mode. The thermostatic expansion valves each has a built-in check valve, which has the
function of preventing ow in one direction and allowing the ow in the opposite direction. It means that one
thermostatic expansion valve is controlling liquid injection into the indoor coil while the other thermostatic
expansion valve is bypassing the metering device with the open check valve.

Simplied air conditioning / heat pump system (bi-ow)
Figure 3: Simplied air conditioning / heat pump system (bi-ow)
Illustrates a packaged air conditioning / heat pump system with a short distance between the indoor and outdoor
heat-exchangers. The two TR6 valves from g 6 can be replace by one TR6 valve without internal check valve,
making use of the bi-ow feature of this thermostatic expansion valve. The single valve is controlling the liquid
injection in both directions. The normal ow direction marked with an arrow on the valve body should be used for
the primary function, i.e. cooling or heating.
