Emerson Alco 032988 Valve
The Emerson Alco 032988 is a high-capacity T-Series Thermal Expansion Valve designed for precise refrigerant flow modulation in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. This powerhouse TJR2 Valve Type features a Straight-Thru Body Flow configuration, significantly reducing pressure drop and simplifying piping layouts for field retrofits. With a 7/8" ODF (Sweat) or 1-1/8" ODM inlet and matching 7/8" ODF / 1-1/8" ODM Outlet, this valve provides versatile connection options for standard copper linesets. Utilizing a large diaphragm and high-grade internal components, the 032988 TXV ensures stable superheat control across a wide range of evaporator loads. This balanced port construction excels in systems with fluctuating head pressures, maintaining consistent performance and preventing liquid floodback to the compressor. For technicians replacing an Alco 10332 or similar high-tonnage valves, this unit offers the reliability needed for critical cooling applications.
Key Benefits- Straight-Thru Design: Optimizes fluid dynamics and simplifies installation in tight mechanical headers.
- Dual Connection Sizing: Accommodates both 7/8" ODF and 1-1/8" ODM fittings for maximum compatibility.
- Superior Superheat Stability: High-quality power assembly ensures accurate response to load changes, protecting the compressor.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the high-cycle demands of commercial HVACR environments.
- Precision Metering: Specifically engineered for high-tonnage applications requiring a TJR2 valve body.
What refrigerant is the Emerson 032988 compatible with?
Compatibility depends on the specific power assembly and orifice cage installed; always verify the refrigerant charge code on the head before installation.
Can this valve be field-repaired or cleaned?
Yes, the T-series features a take-apart design, allowing technicians to inspect, clean, or replace internal components without de-brazing the entire body.
How do I handle the dual-sized ODF/ODM connections during brazing?
Directly sweat the copper line into the 7/8" ODF socket or over the 1-1/8" ODM shoulder using appropriate heat sinking to protect the internal seals.
