Emerson Alco 071155 Cage Assembly
The Emerson Alco 071155, also identified as the X9117B8B cage assembly, is a critical internal component engineered for high-capacity TER series expansion valves. Designed for versatility across multiple refrigerants, this assembly delivers a 35 ton nominal capacity when utilizing R22 or R407C. For alternative systems, it provides 25 tons for R134a, 21 tons for R404A/R502/R526, and 20 tons for R-12 applications. As a drop-in replacement part, the X-9117-B8B ensures precise superheat control and reliable mass flow modulation in large-scale commercial HVACR systems. This cage assembly is manufactured to tight tolerances to prevent hunting and ensure stable evaporator performance under varying load conditions. For technicians servicing legacy or modern Alco T-Series valves, verifying the Emerson 071155 compatibility with the existing valve body and power assembly is essential for maintaining system efficiency and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging.
Key Benefits- Compatible with a wide range of refrigerants including R22, R407C, R134a, and R404A.
- Provides high-capacity flow modulation up to 35 tons nominal capacity.
- Interchangeable design allows for direct replacement of X9117B8B internal components.
- Engineered specifically for Emerson TER series valve bodies to ensure airtight seating.
- Robust construction withstands the high-pressure demands of industrial refrigeration cycles.
Is the 071155 compatible with R410A systems?
No, this specific cage assembly is designed for use with lower pressure refrigerants like R22, R407C, and R134a. Always verify valve body pressure ratings before installation.
How do I confirm if my TER valve requires the X9117B8B assembly?
Check the identification tag on the valve body or the existing cage. The 071155 is the direct technical equivalent to the X-9117-B8B designation used in legacy catalogs.
Can this cage assembly be serviced in the field?
Yes, the cage assembly design allows for field replacement without removing the entire valve body from the line, provided the system is properly pumped down and isolated.
