Emerson Alco 060857 Expansion Valve
The Emerson Alco 060857 is a high-capacity TJRE 14 HC thermal expansion valve engineered for precision superheat control in medium-temperature R22 systems. This 14-ton externally equalized TXV (identical to TJRE14HC5FTVLF) is specifically designed for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications where load requirements fluctuate. Featuring a robust stainless steel power assembly and a 5-foot capillary tube, this valve ensures stable refrigerant metering through its double seat orifice design, which provides superior partial load performance compared to standard single-port valves. Contractors typically utilize this model in R22 medium temp refrigeration setups that require a consistent superheat at the evaporator outlet to prevent liquid slugging and maximize heat transfer efficiency.
Built for durability in demanding environments, the 060857 expansion valve includes a laser-welded diaphragm to withstand high pressures during reverse flow or system transients. As a "less flange" (VLF) model, it offers a modular solution that integrates seamlessly into existing piping with the appropriate body flange. The external equalizer connection is vital for systems with significant pressure drops across the evaporator, ensuring accurate bulb response. Use this HVACR replacement expansion valve to maintain optimal superheat settings and reliable system pull-down during peak demand.
Key Benefits:- Enhanced Load Stability: The double seat orifice design delivers precise refrigerant flow even during low-load conditions, preventing hunting.
- Modular Flexibility: Designed as a "less flange" unit (TJRE14HC5FTVLF), allowing for easier field servicing and compatibility with various flange types.
- Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel power element and a large diaphragm for high stability and longevity.
- R22 Specialty: Specifically charged for R22 medium-temperature transitions, ensuring accurate pressure-temperature response.
- Is the Emerson 060857 compatible with modern R22 alternatives? This valve is specifically designed for R22 refrigerant; for retrofits using HFC or HFO blends, consult the Alco selection chart to ensure the bulb charge matches the new refrigerant's P-T curve.
- Why does this 14-ton TXV require an external equalizer? Given the high tonnage, the pressure drop across the evaporator is likely significant. An external equalizer ensures the valve senses the true pressure at the evaporator outlet for accurate superheat control.
- Does this include the flange and gaskets? No, this is the "less flange" model (VLF). The mounting flange and associated gaskets must be sourced separately or reused from the existing installation.
