Danfoss 067B3297 Thermostatic Element
As a field specialist, you know that maintaining system balanced is non-negotiable, and the Danfoss 067B3297 Thermostatic Element is the industry standard for R134a refrigerant applications. Specifically designed for the TE 5 Expansion Valve series, this stainless steel power element utilizes advanced laser welding technology to ensure structural integrity under high-pressure conditions up to 28 bar (400 psig). This unit features external pressure equalization with a 1/4 inch flare connection, allowing for precise superheat control across a broad temperature range of -40°F to +50°F (-40°C to +10°C). The 118-inch (3 meter) capillary tube provides the routing flexibility needed for complex evaporator coils. Whether you are performing a TXV troubleshooting routine or a full system overhaul, this component serves as the direct replacement for 067B329700 and the 067B3298 European model, ensuring seamless refrigeration parts compatibility without the need for piping modifications.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Interchangeable Parts Program: Designed for use within the Danfoss TE 5 - TE 55 parts program, allowing for easy orifice assembly swaps to match specific load requirements.
- Corrosion Resistant Construction: The stainless steel diaphragm and capillary tube are engineered for longevity in high-moisture industrial environments.
- Precise Metering: Optimized for N-range evaporating temperatures, providing stable thermostatic expansion valve operation and protecting the compressor from liquid slugging.
- Extended Reach: The 3000 mm capillary length simplifies bulb placement on suction lines, even in tight or obstructed chassis.
- Can I use this element with other refrigerants? This specific element is charged and calibrated exclusively for R134a. Using it with other refrigerants will lead to incorrect superheat and potential system failure.
- Does this include the bulb strap? Yes, the 067B3297 typically includes the patented Danfoss bulb strap for maximum surface contact and faster thermal response.
- Is a MOP (Maximum Operating Pressure) charge included? No, this is a standard Range N element without MOP, suitable for applications where motor overload protection is handled by other system controls.
