Carrier 46101100 TXV Valve

The Carrier 46101100 TXV Valve is a critical metering component designed for precise refrigerant control in R-22 HVAC systems. Engineered for Carrier model 50BR-016N61100, this thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) features a durable bi-metal construction and a brass body for maximum reliability in high-pressure environments. The 4-foot bulb extension with adjustable metering allows for fine-tuning based on actual heat load, preventing common evaporator issues like liquid slugging or refrigerant starving. By maintaining the correct superheat, the 46101100 ensures your refrigerant circuit operates at peak thermal efficiency. As a genuine Carrier replacement part, it integrates seamlessly into the existing liquid line, providing the mechanical response required to handle fluctuating system demands. For service technicians working on legacy R-22 equipment, this valve is essential for restoring proper evaporator coil performance and extending the service life of residential or commercial air conditioning units.

• Precise Flow Regulation: Ensures the evaporator receives the exact refrigerant charge needed to maintain efficient heat transfer.
• Enhanced System Stability: Features a specialized cooling blade and bi-metal design to dissipate excess heat and stabilize temperature regulation.
• Adjustable Metering: Includes a 4-foot bulb extension for versatile placement and real-time adjustment of refrigerant flow.
• OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Carrier R-22 configurations, ensuring correct fit and pressure ratings for model 50BR-016N61100.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality brass and bi-metal materials to withstand demanding refrigeration cycles.

Is the Carrier 46101100 compatible with R-410A systems?
No, this specific thermostatic expansion valve is calibrated and designed exclusively for R-22 refrigerant systems. Using it with R-410A will lead to incorrect metering and potential compressor damage.

What are the physical dimensions for installation planning?
This TXV measures approximately 4.1 inches in length, 2.7 inches in width, and 1.3 inches in height, making it suitable for compact evaporator coil cabinets.

Does this valve help prevent compressor flooding?
Yes, by accurately sensing suction line temperature via the sensing bulb, it modulates the needle valve to prevent unevaporated liquid refrigerant from returning to the compressor.
