Danfoss 068-2010 Orifice

When you're servicing a refrigeration or air conditioning system, precision in the expansion stage is non-negotiable. The Danfoss 068-2010 Orifice (Size #01) is the standard interchangeable component for T2 and TE2 thermostatic expansion valves, engineered to provide precise refrigerant metering across a wide range of operating conditions. This specific orifice is optimized for Range N (-40°F to +50°F) and is fully compatible with modern refrigerants, including R22, R407C, R134a, and R404A. Field technicians should note that the 068-2010 is functionally identical to the 068-201000, ensuring a seamless drop-in replacement for existing ETD setups. Its brass construction and integrated conical filter protect the valve seat from system debris, helping to maintain stable superheat and preventing liquid slugging at the compressor. Whether you are performing a TXV orifice replacement or a new system HVAC expansion valve sizing, this size #01 insert provides the calibrated flow needed for efficient heat transfer.

Key Benefits:

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Designed for versatile use with R407C, R134a, R22, and R513A.
• Optimized Capacity: Size #01 delivers a nominal capacity of approximately 1 ton for R22 and 3/4 ton for R404A/R507.
• Debris Protection: Features a built-in filter to capture contaminants before they reach the critical valve orifice.
• Universal Fit: Fully interchangeable with all Danfoss T2/TE2 valve bodies, simplifying truck stock and service calls.
• Accurate Superheat Control: Engineered for thermostatic expansion valve troubleshooting and high-precision flow regulation.

Common Questions:

Is the 068-2010 compatible with external equalization?
Yes, this orifice works with both T2 (internal equalization) and TE2 (external equalization) valve bodies. The metering performance remains consistent across both configurations.

Does this come with the flare nuts required for installation?
This part number refers to the orifice assembly and filter only. Flare nuts are typically sold separately or come with the valve body.

Can I use this orifice for low-temperature applications?
Yes, the 068-2010 is rated for Range N, which covers temperatures down to -40°F, making it suitable for both AC and medium-to-low temp refrigeration.
