Carrier EA36UZ097 Expansion Valve

The Carrier EA36UZ097 Expansion Valve is a critical OEM thermostatic expansion valve designed for high-precision refrigerant metering in professional HVAC recovery and cooling systems. Engineered specifically for R-410A refrigerant applications, this TXV valve maintains the ideal superheat balance across the evaporator coil, preventing liquid slugging and ensuring compressor longevity. As a genuine Carrier replacement part, the EA36UZ097 features a durable bi-metal construction with a solder ODF/ODM connection type, providing a leak-resistant seal essential for high-pressure environments. Technicians frequently spec this valve for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne models, including the 48PGDM07 and 50PG series, to restore factory-standard cooling efficiency. Its mechanical design responds dynamically to load fluctuations, making it the preferred choice for contractors troubleshooting circuit pressure imbalances or restricted flow issues in light commercial and residential split systems.

• Precise Refrigerant Control: Optimizes R-410A flow to maximize heat transfer efficiency and prevent evaporator freeze-ups.
• OEM Compatibility: Direct-fit replacement part for a wide range of Carrier HVAC units, ensuring seamless mechanical alignment and solder connection integrity.
• Robust Construction: Built with high-grade materials to withstand the thermal stresses of heavy-duty cooling cycles.
• System Protection: Actively regulates the pressure drop to safeguard the compressor from liquid floodback during low-load conditions.

• How do I confirm if the EA36UZ097 fits my specific condenser or air handler? To ensure exact compatibility, verify the model and serial number of your equipment; this valve is commonly used in 48PG and 50PG series units.
• Is this expansion valve compatible with older R-22 systems? No, this is a dedicated R-410A expansion valve and should only be used with systems utilizing high-pressure R-410A refrigerant.
• Does the valve package include the required sensing bulb and mounting hardware? This genuine OEM part typically includes the integrated capillary tube and sensing bulb required for accurate temperature sensing at the evaporator outlet.
