Sporlan 130307 SVE-2-C Expansion Valve

The Sporlan 130307 SVE-2-C is a high-performance thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) designed for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Engineered for R-22 refrigerant, this 2-ton valve features a 1/2 x 5/8 ODF solder connection, allowing for robust, leak-proof integration into the liquid line. As a Type S expansion valve, it utilizes a brass bar stock body with a durable stainless steel diaphragm and a replaceable power element (83 size), ensuring long-term serviceability without removing the valve body from the piping. This model is externally equalized (1/4" ODF), facilitating precise superheat control even in systems with high pressure drops across the evaporator.

For contractors managing medium temperature refrigeration applications, the C charge thermostatic element provides stable modulation and prevents compressor floodback. The Sporlan SVE-2-C 2 ton TXV is built with a knife-edge metal-to-metal joint and silver-soldered connections to maintain vacuum integrity under high-pressure conditions. The adjustable superheat design allows technicians to fine-tune refrigerant flow control to meet specific load demands, making it a reliable choice for maintaining evaporator efficiency in aging R-22 infrastructure. The internal 12-mesh permanent strainer ensures the expansion valve orifice remains clear of debris, protecting the system from common flow restrictions.

• Precise Superheat Control: Externally equalized design compensates for pressure drops, maintaining optimal evaporator performance.
• Field Serviceable: Replaceable power element and accessible internal parts allow for maintenance without desoldering the entire valve.
• Rugged Construction: Brass bar stock body and stainless steel internal components resist corrosion and erosion.
• Standardized Fit: 1/2" inlet and 5/8" outlet ODF solder connections match common 2-ton commercial evaporator configurations.
• System Protection: Integrated 12-mesh strainer prevents contaminants from fouling the valve seat and orifice.

Is the SVE-2-C compatible with R-407C dry charge systems?
While specifically designed for R-22 systems, this valve is often utilized in R-407C retrofits where pressures are comparable; however, technicians must verify superheat settings and oil compatibility before installation.

Can the thermostatic element be replaced if it loses charge?
Yes, the SVE-2-C features a replaceable thermostatic element. This allows for quick repairs in the field without the need to cut the valve out of the refrigerant line.

What is the purpose of the external equalizer on this valve?
The external equalizer is critical for systems with significant pressure drops through the distributor or evaporator coils, as it ensures the valve senses the actual pressure at the evaporator outlet for accurate thermostatic expansion.
