Trane VAL7364 TXV
For technicians servicing legacy systems, the Trane VAL7364 thermostatic expansion valve is a precision-engineered metering device designed specifically for R-22 refrigerant circuits. This genuine OEM Trane TXV is internally equalized and rated for a 2.8-ton capacity, making it an essential component for maintaining proper superheat levels and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging. The valve features a 3/8" inlet and a 1/2" outlet, accommodating standard refrigeration line sets found in residential and light commercial air conditioning units. With its 30-inch capillary tube and sensing bulb, the Trane VAL7364 provides the responsive feedback needed to optimize evaporator coil efficiency during varying load conditions. For contractors performing retrofits or repairs, this direct replacement TXV ensures localized control of refrigerant mass flow, stabilizing suction pressure and maximizing the performance of older 2.8-ton systems. This rugged component is built to withstand the demanding thermal cycles typical of HVACR refrigeration valves.
Key Benefits- Precise Superheat Control: Maintains optimal refrigerant flow to the evaporator, preventing compressor flooding and improving overall system efficiency.
- Legacy System Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for R-22 refrigerant, allowing for reliable maintenance of veteran HVAC platforms.
- Optimized 2.8-Ton Rating: Sized perfectly for mid-range residential air handlers and evaporator coils to ensure balanced heat exchange.
- Extended Capillary Reach: The 30" capillary tube provides flexibility for proper sensing bulb placement on the suction line manifold.
- Durable OEM Construction: Designed by Trane to meet exact internal specifications for mechanical reliability and leak-free performance.
Is the Trane VAL7364 compatible with R-410A systems?
No, this expansion valve is specifically calibrated for use with R-22 refrigerant and should not be used in R-410A applications due to different pressure and thermostatic requirements.
Does this TXV include the sensing bulb insulation?
Standard replacement VAL7364 valves typically require separate bulb insulation; always ensure the bulb is properly wrapped and in full contact with the suction line to ensure accurate superheat readings.
Can I use this valve on a 3-ton system?
While close in capacity, this valve is engineered for a 2.8-ton load. Utilizing an undersized or oversized TXV can lead to hunting and unstable system performance; always match the tonnage to your original equipment manufacturer's data.
