BULLETIN 10-10 — Page 1 t THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVES 10 Outstanding Features & Benefits of Sporlan Thermostatic Expansion Valves • SELECTIVE THERMOSTATIC CHARGES Designed to provide optimum performance for all applications — air conditioning and heat pump, medium and low temperature refrigeration. • THERMOSTATIC ELEMENT DESIGN Long lasting and field proven stainless steel diaphragm and welded element construction. • DIAPHRAGM DESIGN Large flat diaphragm permits precise valve control.
Page 2 — BULLETIN 10-10 t SELECTION PROCEDURE The following procedure should be used when selecting a Sporlan TEV: 1. Determine the liquid temperature of the refrigerant entering the valve. The TEV capacity tables on pages 4 to 8 are based on a liquid temperature of 100°F for R-22, R-134a, R-401A, R-402A, R-404A, R-407C, R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, and R-507. For other liquid temperatures, apply the correction factor given in the tables for each refrigerant. For example see Table B. 5. Select body type.
BULLETIN 10-10 — Page 3 t SELECTION PROCEDURE 7. Valve Nomenclature / Ordering Instructions Combine the letters and numbers in the following manner to obtain the complete valve designation. Also include all connection sizes and the capillary tube length. EXAMPLE EG Body Type F = E = V = G = M= J = X = L = S = V E Sporlan Code – Refrigerant Element Label Color Code “E” specifies external equalizer. Omission of letter “E” indicates valve with internal equalizer. e.g.
