Sporlan 044436-01 TXV
The Sporlan 044436-01, also identified by model HCAE-5-ZX200A, is a high-performance Chatleff TXV engineered for precise refrigerant metering in residential and commercial split systems. This thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) is specifically designed for R-410A refrigeration systems and heat pump applications, offering a nominal capacity range of 3.5 to 5 tons. Built with a balanced port design and a rugged stainless steel power element, it ensures stable superheat control across varying ambient temperatures and load conditions. The Chatleff connection provides a secure, leak-proof mechanical interface, making it a reliable OEM HVAC replacement part for contractors performing evaporator coil maintenance or system retrofits. By maintaining the ideal refrigerant flow control, this valve protects the compressor from liquid slugging while maximizing the heat transfer efficiency of the evaporator.
Key Benefits- Precise Superheat Regulation: The HCAE-5-ZX200A maintains consistent evaporator superheat, preventing liquid floodback and ensuring optimal system capacity.
- Rugged Construction: Features a stainless steel diaphragm and power element for increased durability against pressure fluctuations and vibration.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for both air conditioning and heat pump systems, accommodating bidirectional flow requirements.
- Internal Check Valve: Includes a low-pressure drop check valve that facilitates reverse flow in heat pump heating cycles without the need for additional external piping.
- Field Adjustable: Allows technicians to fine-tune the superheat setting on-site to match specific manufacturer performance specifications.
Is this TXV compatible with R-22 systems?
No, the Sporlan 044436-01 is factory-charged specifically for R-410A. Using it with R-22 will result in incorrect superheat levels and potential system damage.
What type of connection does this valve use?
This model utilizes a male Chatleff thread connection, which is common in many residential evaporator coils. Ensure your coil fitting matches this mechanical seal before installation.
Does this valve require an external equalizer line?
Yes, the HCAE series is an externally equalized valve, which is essential for systems with high-pressure drops across the evaporator to ensure accurate refrigerant metering.
