Heil Quaker ICP 1173650 Device
The Heil Quaker ICP 1173650 Device is a precision-engineered fixed orifice piston designed for critical refrigerant flow regulation in residential split systems. As a genuine ICP OEM replacement part, this metering device .046 ensures the exact pressure drop required to transition high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a saturated vapor state before it enters the evaporator coil. With a precise .046-inch bore, this brass component is calibrated to maintain the thermal balance and superheat levels necessary for peak cooling performance and compressor protection.
Whether you are performing an AC unit repair or a heat pump service, matching the correct piston size to the outdoor unit's capacity is vital. The 1173650 metering device features a Chatleff-style fitting, measuring approximately 0.5 inches in length with a 0.375-inch outer diameter, allowing for seamless integration into International Comfort Products equipment, including brands like Tempstar, Arcoaire, and Comfortmaker. Utilizing this authentic HVAC metering device prevents common performance issues such as evaporator icing or liquid slugging, ensuring your HVAC system components operate within manufacturer specifications.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM Fit: Engineered specifically for ICP HVAC parts compatibility, eliminating the guesswork found with universal alternatives.
- Precision Metering: The .046-inch aperture provides consistent refrigerant flow for stable evaporator coil performance.
- Optimized Efficiency: Critical for maintaining SEER ratings by ensuring accurate refrigerant saturation and heat transfer.
- Contractor-Grade Durability: Machined from high-quality brass to withstand the thermal stresses of the refrigeration cycle.
Common Questions
How do I know if I need a .046 piston?
The required metering device size is typically stamped on the outdoor unit rating plate or listed in the manufacturer’s charging chart provided with the condenser.
Can I use this piston with R-410A systems?
Yes, the ICP 1173650 piston is compatible with R-410A applications, provided the system capacity and liquid line pressure drop requirements match the .046 specification.
Wait, what happens if the piston is the wrong size?
An undersized piston causes high superheat and reduced cooling capacity, while an oversized piston leads to low superheat and potential compressor damage due to liquid floodback.
