Lennox 97M85 TXV

Lennox 97M85 TXV

The Lennox 97M85 is a high-performance thermal expansion valve (TXV) engineered for precise refrigerant metering in R-410A cooling systems. Designed to replace failing or inefficient valves, this component features an integrated internal check valve to facilitate proper flow during heat pump cycles. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the correct superheat is critical for compressor longevity and evaporative efficiency; this external equalizer TXV ensures reactive adjustments to load changes, preventing liquid floodback and optimizing the SEER2 rating of the overall system. Built for Lennox air handlers and cased coils, the 97M85 handles high-pressure environments common in modern HVACR service. Whether you are performing a preventative upgrade or a critical repair, this R-410A expansion valve provides the reliability required for commercial and residential split systems where precision refrigerant flow control is non-negotiable.

Key Benefits for Technicians:
  • Precise Superheat Control: Maintains optimal evaporator performance across varying heat loads to protect the compressor.
  • Integrated Check Valve: Specifically designed for heat pump applications, allowing reverse flow without needing extra piping.
  • OEM Compatibility: Exact fit for specific Lennox 97M85 configurations, reducing installation time and call-backs.
  • Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the thermal stresses of R-410A high-pressure refrigeration cycles.
Common Service Questions:

Can this expansion valve be used with R-22 systems?
No, this R-410A TXV is calibrated specifically for the pressure-temperature characteristics of R-410A refrigerant and cannot be used in R-22 legacy systems.

Does this unit require an external equalizer line connection?
Yes, the Lennox 97M85 utilizes an external equalizer to accurately sense evaporator outlet pressure, ensuring more precise metering than internal equalizer alternatives.

What are the symptoms of a failing Lennox 97M85 TXV?
Common indicators include erratic superheat readings, frost on the evaporator coil, or high suction side pressure coupled with poor cooling performance.
