Danfoss 068-2009 Orifice
The Danfoss 068-2009 Orifice #06 is a precision-engineered interchangeable orifice assembly designed for use with T2 and TE2 thermostatic expansion valves (TXV). This size 6 orifice is critical for regulating refrigerant mass flow in small to medium commercial refrigeration systems, including walk-in coolers, supermarkets, and self-contained units. Rated for a nominal capacity of 5.5 tons (19.4 kW) on R22/R407C and approximately 4.5 tons on R404A, it provides high-accuracy superheat control to maximize evaporator efficiency. Built with a special alloy valve cone and seat, this component ensures superior wear resistance and a long service life even under the stress of hot gas defrost cycles. The integrated dirt-protection filter prevents orifice clogging, maintaining consistent flow and preventing system hunting. This flare-style orifice allows for rapid field replacement and capacity matching without removing the valve body from the line, making it a standard inventory item for service contractors working with Danfoss T2 style expansion valves.
Key Benefits:- Field Interchangeability: Easily swap sizes to match actual system loads without replacing the entire TXV body.
- High-Performance Metering: Delivers precise liquid injection for "dry" evaporators, ensuring stable superheat.
- Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Engineered for use with R22, R407C, R134a, R404A, R507A, and various low-GWP blends.
- Integrated Filtration: Includes a stainless steel filter to protect the orifice from particulates and debris.
- Robust Design: Withstands test pressures up to 544 psig (37.5 bar) and operating temperatures down to -76°F (-60°C).
- Which valve bodies are compatible with this orifice? This orifice is strictly for Danfoss T2 (internal equalization) and TE2 (external equalization) flare-style valve bodies.
- How do I identify the size in the field? The orifice size 06 is laser-etched directly on the top of the assembly for permanent identification.
- Can I use this for R410A systems? No, the T2/TE2 series and this orifice are not rated for the high-pressure requirements of R410A; use the TGE or TU series instead.
- Does it include the filter? Yes, the 068-2009 comes as a complete assembly with the replaceable filter screen.
