Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 062088 Expansion Valve

The Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 062088 Expansion Valve, also identified by model number AAE 5 HW100, is a high-performance thermal expansion valve engineered for precise refrigerant metering in 5-ton systems. This externally equalized TXV is optimized for R22 and R407C refrigerants, featuring a 3/8" x 5/8" ODF sweat connection with a straight-through body configuration for streamlined installation in evaporator coils. To protect the compressor from excessive suction pressure during high-load startups, it includes a 100 PSI MOP (Maximum Operating Pressure) charge, which limits the pressure of the sensing bulb to maintain system stability. The 5-foot capillary tube provides the flexibility needed for remote bulb placement to ensure accurate superheat control. For contractors seeking a reliable R22 expansion valve replacement, the 062088 provides 5 ton cooling capacity and Copeland thermal expansion technology to ensure efficient heat transfer in commercial and residential air conditioning environments.

• Enhanced Compressor Protection: The 100 PSI MOP charge prevents high suction pressure from overloading the motor during hot-pulldown or startup.
• Refrigerant Versatility: Fully compatible with both R22 and R407C, making it an ideal choice for legacy system retrofits or repairs.
• Stable Superheat Management: The external equalization design compensates for pressure drops across the evaporator, ensuring the entire coil surface is utilized.
• Leak-Resistant Connections: Precision 3/8" inlet and 5/8" outlet ODF sweat fittings provide secure, hermetic joints in high-vibration HVACR applications.
• Durable Construction: Built by Alco/Copeland to withstand the rigors of continuous cycling in demanding environmental conditions.

Can the 062088 be used as a direct replacement for the AAE5HW100?
Yes, the Copeland 062088 is identical to the AAE 5 HW100 5FT 3/8 X 5/8 ODF S/T and is a direct drop-in replacement for that model number.

What is the benefit of the 100 PSI MOP charge on this valve?
The Maximum Operating Pressure charge acts as a safety limit, partially closing the valve if the suction pressure exceeds 100 PSI to prevent the compressor from stalling or overheating under heavy loads.

Is this expansion valve compatible with R410A systems?
No, this valve is specifically calibrated for R22 and R407C refrigerants. Using it with R410A will result in improper flow rates and potential system failure due to the significant difference in operating pressures.
