Danfoss 068U2205 Element/Valve

The Danfoss 068U2205 is a high-performance TUA series thermostatic expansion valve element designed for precise refrigerant flow control in R134a systems. This stainless steel power element features a 3/8" x 1/2" connection size, offering excellent corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding HVACR environments. Engineered for versatility, the Danfoss 068U220500 provides a modular solution where the orifice and bulb can be serviced or replaced independently, minimizing downtime during system maintenance. Technicians prefer the TUA valve body for its balanced port design, which compensates for changes in condensing pressure, ensuring stable superheat control across varying load conditions. Whether you are performing a TXV replacement or a new installation, this Danfoss refrigeration valve ensures optimal evaporator efficiency. Its compact footprint makes it an ideal fit for tight cabinet spaces in commercial refrigeration reach-ins, air conditioning units, and heat pump applications requiring reliable refrigerant metering.

• Modular Design: The replaceable orifice assembly allows for easy sizing adjustments without removing the valve body from the line.
• Stainless Steel Construction: High-grade materials provide superior durability and protection against capillary tube vibration failure.
• Wide Temperature Range: Optimized for medium and high-back pressure applications utilizing R134a refrigerant.
• Bimetal Connections: Facilitates fast, easy soldering without the need for heat-sink rags in most standard installations.
• Interchangeability: Fully compatible with various orifice sizes to match specific BTU load requirements.

What is the difference between Danfoss 068U2205 and 068U220500?
These parts are identical; 068U220500 is the full manufacturing code, while 068U2205 is the commonly used industry shorthand for the same TUA element.

Is this valve compatible with refrigerants other than R134a?
This specific element is charged and calibrated for R134a. Using it with other refrigerants may lead to improper superheat settings and potential compressor damage.

Does this unit include the internal orifice?
This is the thermostatic power element and valve body assembly. The internal orifice must be sized and purchased separately based on your specific system capacity.
