Carrier EA36YJ136 TXV
The Carrier EA36YJ136 TXV is a precision-engineered R410A thermal expansion valve designed to optimize refrigerant flow across varying load conditions. For contractors servicing Carrier, Bryant, and Payne residential units, this factory-authorized part ensures the system maintains a consistent ten-degree superheat, protecting the compressor from liquid slugging while maximizing evaporator efficiency. Featuring a 3/8" ODF inlet and a 3/8" ODM outlet, this valve is built for seamless integration into 48VT and similar high-efficiency cased coil series.
As a veteran-grade OEM refrigerant metering device, the EA36YJ136 utilizes a robust bi-metal construction to withstand high-pressure environments up to 700 PSIG. When performing a TXV replacement, ensure the sensing bulb is securely strapped to the suction line and properly insulated to prevent false temperature readings. Using genuine Carrier parts like this refrigerant flow regulator restores the factory-spec pressure drop necessary for peak SEER ratings and stable cooling performance in 3-ton systems.
Key Benefits:- Precise Refrigerant Metering: Automatically adjusts flow to maintain optimal superheat settings for R-410A systems.
- Optimized Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for model series including 48VT, 48VTN, and various evaporator coils.
- Durable Construction: High-tolerance internals resist wear and debris, reducing the risk of stuck TXV symptoms and cooling loss.
- System Protection: Acts as a critical refrigerant control valve to prevent evaporator frosting and compressor damage.
- Is the Carrier EA36YJ136 field adjustable? No, this is a hard-shutoff valve factory-set for specific superheat tolerances and should not be adjusted in the field.
- What causing a TXV to fail on a Carrier unit? Common causes include debris from a failed filter drier, moisture in the system, or overheating the valve body during the brazing process.
- Can I use this valve with R-22? No, this expansion valve is specifically designed for R410A refrigerant and its corresponding pressure curves.
