Sporlan 048348-01 Valve
The Sporlan 048348-01 Valve is a high-performance HXAE-5-VX100 B15 thermostatic expansion valve engineered for precision refrigerant metering in air conditioning and heat pump systems. Designed with a balanced port construction, this TXV ensures stable superheat control across varying head pressures and load conditions, preventing evaporator flooding and compressor slugging. It features 3/8" x 5/8" ODF solder connections and is rated for capacities between 3.5 to 5 tons, making it a reliable choice for commercial and residential R-22 or R-407C applications. The stainless steel power element provides long-term durability against corrosive environments, while the externally adjustable superheat allows for fine-tuning during system startup to maximize evaporator efficiency.
Key Benefits- Balanced Port Design: Compensates for changes in pressure drop, maintaining consistent refrigerant flow in systems with wide-ranging ambient temperatures.
- Enhanced Compatibility: Optimized for use with R-22 and R-407C refrigerants in H-series heat pump and AC configurations.
- Field Adjustability: Features an external adjustment stem for precise superheat tuning, ensuring the evaporator remains fully active without liquid carryover.
- Durable Construction: Built with a stainless steel diaphragm and brass bar body for high burst pressure resistance and leak-proof reliability.
- Improved Efficiency: Minimizes "hunting" and maintains the ideal temperature-pressure balance for lower energy consumption.
Can I use this valve for R-410A systems?
No, the 048348-01 is specifically charged and calibrated for R-22 and R-407C. Using it with high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A will lead to incorrect metering and potential system failure.
Does this valve require an external equalizer?
Yes, the HXAE series includes an external equalizer connection, which is essential for systems using refrigerant distributors to accurately sense evaporator outlet pressure.
How do I adjust the superheat on this model?
Remove the bottom cap to access the adjustment stem. Turning the stem clockwise increases superheat (reduces flow), while counter-clockwise decreases superheat (increases flow). Adjust in small increments and allow the system to stabilize before re-testing.
