Sporlan 044438-01 TXV
The Sporlan 044438-01, designated as model HCAE-3-VX100, is a high-performance thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) engineered for precision refrigerant metering in air conditioning and heat pump applications. This balanced port valve provides stable operation across a wide range of load conditions, making it an ideal choice for systems utilizing R-22, R-407C, or R-407A. Featuring a 3/8" x 1/2" ODF sweat connection, this 3-ton nominal capacity valve excels in both air-source and water-source equipment. The stainless steel power element and 450 PSI maximum operating pressure ensure rugged durability in demanding environments. Designed with an internal check valve, the HCAE series is optimized for bi-directional flow, allowing for seamless integration into heat pump liquid lines without the need for additional external check piping.
Key Benefits- Balanced Port Design: Compensates for changes in head pressure, ensuring consistent superheat control during varying ambient temperatures.
- Internal Check Valve: Simplifies heat pump installations by allowing reverse flow in heating mode with minimal pressure drop.
- Broad Refrigerant Compatibility: Field-proven for R-22 and R-407C retrofits, maintaining efficient evaporator performance.
- Adjustable Superheat: Features a field-adjustable stem to fine-tune system performance and prevent liquid floodback.
- ODF Solder Connections: Precision-machined 3/8" inlet and 1/2" outlet copper fittings for leak-proof, high-strength brazed joints.
Is this TXV compatible with R-410A systems?
No, the HCAE-3-VX100 is specifically charged for R-22 and its common replacements like R-407C. For R-410A applications, a "Z" or "VZP" charge valve is required to match the higher pressure-temperature curve.
Does this valve require an external equalizer?
Yes, the HCAE-3 model utilizes an external equalizer to accurately sense pressure at the evaporator outlet, ensuring the valve reacts to the true superheat level and avoids evaporator starving.
Can this be used as a universal replacement for 1.5 to 3-ton units?
While the nominal capacity is 3 tons, the balanced port design allows it to maintain control at lower loads, often functioning effectively in systems down to 1.5 tons depending on the specific liquid temperature and pressure drop.
