Emerson Alco 060854 Expansion Valve

The Emerson Alco 060854, specifically the TCLE 12 HC series, is an externally equalized thermal expansion valve designed for high-capacity R22 refrigeration systems. This 12-ton capacity valve utilizes a medium temperature charge (Code C), making it essential for walk-in coolers and commercial HVAC applications requiring precise superheat control. Featuring a 5-foot capillary tube and an SAE external equalizer connection, this take-apart expansion valve offers field serviceability that standard hermetic valves cannot match. By decoupling the power assembly from the valve body and flange, technicians can replace internal components or adjust settings without breaking the entire refrigerant circuit. This TXV for R22 systems ensures optimal evaporator efficiency by maintaining a consistent mass flow rate despite varying load conditions. For contractors managing commercial refrigeration repair, the TCLE 12 HC provides the mechanical reliability required for large-scale cooling loads and refrigerant metering.

• Interchangeable Components: The take-apart design allows for the independent replacement of the power assembly, cage, or flange to simplify maintenance.
• Precise Superheat Management: The HC charge is optimized for medium temperature ranges, preventing liquid slugging and protecting the compressor.
• External Equalization: Effectively compensates for pressure drops across the evaporator, ensuring accurate valve opening and closing.
• Durable Construction: Features a high-grade stainless steel power assembly and a 5-foot capillary for flexible installation in cramped mechanical rooms.

Is the flange included with this model?
No, the Emerson Alco 060854 is the valve body and power assembly only; the mounting flange must be sourced separately based on your piping requirements.

What is the primary application for the HC charge?
The medium temperature charge is specifically calibrated for applications where the evaporator temperature remains above freezing, typically in R22 commercial systems.

Can this valve be used with refrigerants other than R22?
This specific model is calibrated for R22 refrigerant; using it with alternative gases will result in improper superheat settings and potential system failure.
