Emerson Alco 037043 Cage Assembly

The Emerson Alco 037043 (X22440-B5B) Cage Assembly is a vital internal component designed specifically for TCL and TCLE series thermostatic expansion valves. As a field-replaceable TXV orifice cage, it allows for precise capacity adjustment and maintenance without necessitating the removal of the entire valve body from the refrigerant line. This specific cage size, designated as B5B, provides versatile nominal capacity ratings depending on the system refrigerant: 5 tons for R-22 and R-407C, 3-1/2 tons for R-134a, and 3 tons for R-12, R-404A, R-507, and R-502. Engineered for high-side stability, this replacement cage assembly ensures optimal superheat control and evaporator efficiency in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. For contractors performing a TXV repair, the X22440-B5B offers a drop-in solution to restore OEM flow characteristics and pressure drop parameters across the expansion orifice.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimized for use with R-22, R-407C, R-134a, and various legacy high-pressure refrigerants.
• Modular Maintenance: Simplifies service by allowing the replacement of the internal expansion valve cage rather than the entire valve assembly.
• Precision Flow Control: Designed to maintain accurate mass flow rates across TCL/TCLE valve bodies to prevent liquid slugging.
• Robust Construction: Manufactured to Emerson Alco’s rigorous standards for durability under high-cycling thermal loads.

Which valve types are compatible with the Emerson 037043?
This TXV cage assembly is designed exclusively for the Emerson TCL and TCLE series thermostatic expansion valves.

Can the X22440-B5B be used in R-410A systems?
No, this cage assembly is rated for use with R-12, R-134a, R-22, R-404A, R-502, and R-407C. For R-410A applications, a high-pressure rated cage specifically designed for that refrigerant must be utilized.

What is the ton rating for this cage with R-22?
The Emerson Alco X22440-B5B has a nominal capacity of 5 tons when utilized in an R-22 or R-407C system.
