Sporlan 180270 Power Element
The Sporlan 180270 is a high-performance KT-43-VCP100 replacement power element designed for thermostatic expansion valves (TEV) in R-22 air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Engineered with a 30-inch capillary tube, this Element Type 43 ensures precise superheat control by sensing suction line temperatures and modulating refrigerant flow accordingly. It is specifically built for systems requiring a VCP100 thermostatic charge, featuring a Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of 90 psig to prevent compressor motor overload during high-load start-up conditions. This genuine Sporlan power head is also compatible with R-422D, R-407A, and R-407C refrigerants, making it a versatile service part for maintaining legacy and retrofit HVACR equipment.
For contractors performing field service, the Sporlan 180270 offers a durable stainless steel diaphragm and welded construction for leak-proof performance. Its 30-inch capillary length provides sufficient reach for optimal bulb placement on the suction line, ensuring the Large Flat Diaphragm can respond rapidly to load changes. Utilizing this R-22 power element allows for the restoration of original valve performance without the need to replace the entire TEV body, significantly reducing labor time on the job site.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Precise Superheat Management: The VCP100 charge and Type 43 element provide stable control across varying evaporator loads.
- System Protection: Integrated 90 psig MOP prevents excessive suction pressure, protecting the compressor during pull-down.
- Extended Compatibility: Rated for R-22, R-422D, R-407A, and R-407C, streamlining inventory for multiple refrigerant types.
- OEM Durability: Constructed with a high-strength welded stainless steel element to resist corrosion and vibration.
- Service Efficiency: Simplifies valve repair as a field-replaceable component for standard Sporlan thermostatic expansion valves.
What does the VCP100 charge signify for this power element?
The VCP100 charge is a "Vapor Charge with Pressure Limit," specifically intended for air conditioning applications. It provides a Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of 90 psig, which limits the pressure of the sensing bulb to protect the compressor motor from overloading at high suction pressures.
Can the Sporlan 180270 be used as a replacement for older R-22 valves?
Yes, this Sporlan 180270 (KT-43-VCP100) is a direct replacement for existing Element Type 43 heads used on many R-22 TEV bodies. Ensure the capillary length and thermostatic charge match the original specifications for your specific application.
Where should the sensing bulb for the 30-inch capillary be mounted?
The bulb should be securely clamped to a horizontal section of the suction line, ideally in the 4 or 8 o'clock position, to ensure accurate temperature sensing without interference from oil or liquid refrigerant pooling.
