Sporlan 180137P Power Element
As an HVACR professional, you know that precise refrigerant metering is non-negotiable for system longevity. The Sporlan 180137P is a high-performance KT-33-VX100 Power Element designed specifically for large-capacity Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TEVs). This replacement element features a 120-inch (10-foot) capillary tube, providing the necessary reach for complex evaporator coil configurations while ensuring rapid, accurate response to suction line temperature changes. Engineered for R-22 refrigerant systems, the VX100 thermostatic charge is optimized for air conditioning and high-temperature refrigeration applications, effectively preventing compressor slugging and maintaining target superheat.
The Type 33 element size is compatible with Sporlan P, H, and O series valves, making it a staple for commercial tonnage requirements. When replacing a failed diaphragm, this stainless steel power element restores factory-spec modulation without requiring a full valve body replacement. The green-coded Sporlan element utilizes a pressure-limiting CP100 charge characteristic, which protects the compressor motor by limiting the maximum operating pressure (MOP) during high-load pull-down scenarios. This is a critical component for technicians prioritizing system stability and evaporator efficiency in the field.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Extended Reach: The 10-foot capillary tube allows for flexible bulb placement on large-diameter suction lines or distant headers.
- System Protection: The VX100 charge provides precise superheat control to prevent liquid floodback and evaporator freeze-ups.
- Reduced Downtime: This field-replaceable thermostatic element allows for rapid service of Sporlan expansion valves without breaking refrigerant lines.
- Versatile Compatibility: Specifically designed for R22 systems using Sporlan Type 33 large-frame valve bodies.
Does this element include the bulb clamps?
Yes, this Sporlan 180137P kit typically includes the necessary bulb clamps and mounting hardware required for a secure thermal bond to the suction line.
Can I use the KT-33-VX100 on an R-407C retrofit?
While originally designed for R-22, this element's pressure-temperature curve is often used in R-407C conversions; however, always verify superheat settings and MOP requirements against current system pressures.
Is the 10-foot capillary tube specialized for specific equipment?
The 120-inch capillary is ideal for packaged rooftop units and built-up systems where the TXV body is situated away from the suction header exit.
