Sporlan 130734 Expansion Valve

When you're out in the field handling a 5-ton system pull-down, reliability is non-negotiable. The Sporlan 130734 SVE-5-C is a veteran-grade thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) designed specifically for R-22 refrigerant applications. Featuring a Type C thermostatic charge, this valve excels in medium-temperature commercial refrigeration and air conditioning environments. The brass bar stock body provides the rugged durability needed for high-demand installations, while the 1/2" x 7/8" ODF solder connections ensure a secure, leak-proof fit when brazed correctly. This model is externally equalized, allowing for precise superheat control even in systems with significant pressure drops across the evaporator. With its 5-foot capillary tube and 83 element size, the SVE-5-C offers the flexibility and responsiveness required to maintain peak system efficiency across varying load conditions. For technicians looking to minimize callbacks, the adjustable superheat and field-serviceable internal parts make this a foundational component for any 5-ton R-22 service van.

Key Benefits:

• Precise Flow Control: The external equalizer compensates for evaporator pressure drop, ensuring the Sporlan SVE-5-C maintains optimal superheat.
• Rugged Construction: Built with a brass bar stock body and a stainless steel diaphragm for long-term performance in commercial environments.
• Serviceability: Features accessible internal parts and an adjustable superheat screw for fine-tuning system performance on-site.
• Debris Protection: Includes a 12-mesh permanent inlet strainer to protect the expansion valve orifice from contaminants.
• High Pressure Rating: Designed with a 450 psi working pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of R-22 HVACR applications.

Common Questions:

• What is the primary application for the Sporlan 130734? This TXV is designed for 5-ton R-22 systems, specifically for medium-temperature refrigeration and standard air conditioning applications using a Type C charge.
• Does this valve support external equalization? Yes, this model is externally equalized, which is critical for maintaining efficiency in larger 5-ton evaporators where pressure drops are common.
• Can the superheat be adjusted in the field? Absolutely. The Sporlan SVE series is known for its field-adjustable superheat, allowing technicians to optimize the refrigerant flow based on real-time system data.
