Sporlan Controls 168147 Valve

Sporlan Controls 168147 Valve

The Sporlan Controls 168147 Valve, model SQE-5(2T)-SZP, is a purpose-built thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) engineered for low-temperature refrigeration applications. Designed to maintain precise superheat control, this valve is optimized for R-404A and R-507 refrigerants, providing a 2-ton nominal capacity. The externally equalized design ensures accurate refrigerant metering across the evaporator, even in systems with significant pressure drops. With 3/8" x 1/2" ODF sweat connections and a 60-inch capillary tube, this valve offers the versatility required for tight mechanical footprints. For field serviceability, it includes a 100 mesh removable strainer to protect the internal orifice from debris. Built to withstand a maximum operating pressure of 450 psi, this Sporlan 168147 valve utilizes a ZP thermostatic charge, specifically formulated to prevent motor overload during pull-down on low-temp systems including walk-in freezers and reach-in units.

Technical Benefits for Contractors:
  • MOP Functionality: The ZP thermostatic charge provides a pressure-limiting feature to protect the compressor motor during high-load start-up periods.
  • Field Serviceability: Features a 100 mesh removable strainer, allowing for routine maintenance and cleaning without replacing the entire valve body.
  • Precise Metering: Externally equalized ports compensate for pressure drops in the evaporator, ensuring the system operates at peak efficiency.
  • Durable Construction: Heavy-duty brass body and stainless steel internal components designed for low-temperature refrigeration environments.
  • Installation Flexibility: The 5-foot capillary tube allows for remote bulb placement to get the most accurate suction line temperature reading.
Common Maintenance Questions:

What is the benefit of the ZP charge on this Sporlan TXV?
The ZP charge is designed for low-temperature applications to provide a "Maximum Operating Pressure" (MOP) feature. This helps prevent the compressor from overloading by limiting the evaporator pressure during a hot pull-down.

Can this valve be used with R-507?
Yes, the Sporlan 168147 is fully compatible with both R-404A and R-507. Ensure your superheat adjustments are verified during commissioning as these refrigerants have slightly different pressure-temperature relationships.

Is the strainer replaceable on the SQE series?
This valve includes a 100 mesh removable strainer. It is recommended to inspect the strainer during any system repair to ensure proper flow and prevent orifice plugging in low-temperature cycles.
