Danfoss 068-2008 Orifice

The Danfoss 068-2008 Orifice #05 is a critical metering component designed for high-capacity performance within the T2 and TE2 series thermostatic expansion valves. As a veteran technician knows, the #05 orifice is engineered for precise refrigerant control across a broad range of operating conditions, offering a nominal capacity of 5 tons when utilized with R22 or R407C at standard conditions. For refrigeration systems running R404A or R507, the assembly supports approximately 3.75 tons, while R134a applications are rated at roughly 2.3 tons. This interchangeable assembly allows for exact capacity matching without replacing the entire valve body, making it a staple for commercial HVACR refrigeration systems and air conditioning maintenance.

The Danfoss 068-2008 (identical to the 068-200800 reference) features a integrated dirt-protection filter to prevent orifice clogging and maintain system stability. Designed for use in "dry" evaporators, it ensures reliable superheat regulation. Whether you are performing a TXV orifice replacement or a new expansion valve installation, this stainless steel and brass assembly provides a wide temperature range from -40°F to +50°F. This specific Danfoss T2 orifice size 5 is fully compatible with both internal and external equalization valve bodies, ensuring flexibility for specialized refrigeration loads and supermarket rack applications.

• Broad Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimized for R22, R407C, R134a, R404A, R507, and many modern blends.
• Simplified Inventory: Pairing a single T2/TE2 valve body with various orifices allows for fast capacity adjustments in the field.
• Reliable Superheat Control: High-grade alloy construction minimizes wear on the cone and seat for long-term cycling.
• Integrated Debris Protection: Includes a conical filter to protect the metering port from system contaminants.
• Ease of Identification: Orifice size and type are clearly marked for quick verification during service calls.

Is the 068-2008 interchangeable with the 068-200800?
Yes, those part numbers are identical and refer to the same Size #05 orifice assembly.

Can I use this orifice in a TE2 valve with external equalization?
Yes, the orifice assembly is universal for both T2 (internal) and TE2 (external) valve bodies.

What happens if I undersize this orifice for my load?
An undersized orifice will lead to high superheat and starving the evaporator, which can result in poor cooling performance and potential compressor overheating.
