Sporlan 180483 KT-53-VC Power Element

The Sporlan 180483 KT-53-VC Power Element is a critical thermostatic replacement component engineered for high-temperature refrigeration and HVACR systems. This Type 53 power element is specifically designed for use with R-22 refrigerant and features a "C" thermostatic charge, ensuring precise superheat control in commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications. Built with a 5-foot capillary tube, the 180483 provides the reach necessary for flexible bulb placement, allowing for accurate temperature sensing even in tight evaporator configurations. As a direct Sporlan TXV replacement part, this element manages refrigerant flow by responding to temperature fluctuations, maintaining system efficiency and preventing liquid slugging back to the compressor. The Sporlan KT-53-VC is a standard in the industry for technicians requiring reliable, field-proven performance when servicing thermal expansion valves in the R-22 family.

• Precise Superheat Control: The "C" charge is optimized for high-temperature applications, providing stable refrigerant metering.
• Extended Reach: A 5-foot capillary length allows for versatile bulb mounting away from the valve body.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed as a direct replacement for Type 53 element assemblies in Sporlan thermostatic expansion valves.
• R-22 Optimization: Specifically calibrated for the pressure-temperature characteristics of R-22 refrigerant systems.
• Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the rigors of commercial HVACR environments, ensuring long-term operational stability.

What refrigerant is the Sporlan KT-53-VC compatible with?
This power element is specifically designed and calibrated for R-22 refrigerant systems.

Can I use this for low-temperature refrigeration?
The KT-53-VC features a "C" charge, which is typically intended for high-temperature/air conditioning applications. For low-temperature applications, confirm if a "Z" or "X" charge is required for your specific evaporator temperature range.

What is the capillary tube length?
This model comes with a 60-inch (5-foot) capillary tube, providing sufficient length for most standard and custom coil installations.
