THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVES

10

Outstanding Features & Benefits of

Sporlan Thermostatic Expansion Valves

SELECTIVE THERMOSTATIC CHARGES

Designed to provide optimum performance for all applications air conditioning and heat pump, medium and low
temperature refrigeration.

THERMOSTATIC ELEMENT DESIGN

Long lasting and field proven stainless steel diaphragm and
welded element construction.

DIAPHRAGM DESIGN
Large flat diaphragm permits precise valve control.

REPLACEABLE THERMOSTATIC ELEMENTS

Field replaceable elements on all standard valves.

ACCESSIBLE INTERNAL PARTS

Durable, leakproof body joint construction allows the valve
to be disassembled, and the internal parts cleaned and
inspected.

The thermostatic expansion valve (TEV) controls the flow of

liquid refrigerant entering the direct expansion (DX) evaporator
by maintaining a constant superheat of the refrigerant vapor
at the outlet of the evaporator. The TEV controls the difference
between the actual temperature and the saturation temperature
of the refrigerant corresponding to the suction pressure at
the sensing bulb location; this is superheat. By controlling

PIN CARRIER DESIGN (CONVENTIONAL VALVES)

Provides precise pin and port alignment, and tighter seating.

BALANCED PORT DESIGN

Provides perfect pin and port alignment, and prevents
changes in pressure drop across the valve from influencing
valve operation. Provides excellent control on applications
with widely varying operating conditions.

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Pin and port materials offer maximum protection against
corrosion and erosion.

SILVER SOLDERED CONNECTIONS

For leakproof, high strength connection-to-body joints.

ADJUSTABLE SUPERHEAT DESIGN

All standard valves are externally adjustable.

superheat, the TEV keeps most of the evaporator surface

active, while preventing liquid refrigerant from returning to
the compressor. The ability of the TEV to match refrigerant
flow to the rate at which refrigerant can be vaporized in the
evaporator makes the TEV the ideal expansion device for most
air conditioning and refrigeration applications.

SELECTION PROCEDURE
The following procedure should be used when selecting a
Sporlan TEV:
1. Determine the liquid temperature of the refrigerant
entering the valve.
The TEV capacity tables on pages 4 to 8 are based on
a liquid temperature of 100F for R-22, R-134a, R401A,
R-402A, R-404A, R-407C, R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, and
R-507. For other liquid temperatures, apply the correction factor given in the tables for each refrigerant. For
example see Table B.
2. Determine pressure drop across valve.
The pressure drop correction factors are based on
standard liquid temperature and pressure drop. The
standard pressure drop is dependent on the evaporator
temperature. To determine the pressure drop, subtract
the saturated pressure equivalent to evaporator temperature from the condensing pressure. The condensing pressure used in this calculation should be the
minimum operating condensing pressure of the system.
From this value, subtract all other pressure losses to
obtain the net pressure drop across the valve. Use this
value to determine the pressure drop correction factor.
For example see Table C. Be sure to consider all of the
following possible sources of pressure drop:
1. Friction losses through refrigeration lines including
the evaporator and condenser.
2. Pressure drop across liquid line accessories such as a
solenoid valve and filter-drier.
3. Static pressure loss (gain) due to the vertical lift (drop)
of the liquid line.
4. Pressure drop across a refrigerant distributor if used.
Refer to Bulletin 20-10 for information on refrigerant distributors.

5. Select body type.

Select the body type according to the style connections
desired. For complete specifications on each TEV type
including nominal ratings, refer to pages 9 to 11.
6. Select the Sporlan Selective Thermostatic Charge.
Select the charge according to the design evaporating
temperature from the Table on page 3. Refer to Bulletin
10-9 for a complete discussion of the available Sporlan
Selective Thermostatic Charges.

Pressure drop correction factor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.89
Use the following formula to calculate TEV capacity:
TEV Capacity = TEV rating x CF liquid temperature x CF pressure drop
EGVE-1 has valve capacity of: 1.09 x 1.17 x 0.89 = 1.14 Tons at
20F evaporating temperature, 100 psi pressure drop and 70 liquid
temperature.

3. Select valve from the capacity tables.

Select a valve based on the design evaporating temperature. If possible the valve capacity should be equal
or slightly exceed the design rating of the system. Be
sure to apply the appropriate correction factors for liquid
temperature and pressure drop. Once the desired valve
capacity has been located, determine the nominal capacity of the valve from the tables second column. On multiple evaporator systems, select each valve on the basis of
individual evaporator capacity. For example see Table A.

Thermostatic charge (from table on page 3): VC W

4. Determine if an external equalizer is required.

The amount of pressure drop between the valve outlet
and bulb location will determine if an external equalizer
is required. Refer to Bulletin 10-9 for further information
on this subject.

TYPE RC

For Refrigerants 22, 410A

Chatleff, SAE Flare & ODF Solder Connections

Sporlan Type RC valve is a small brass body,

externally adjustable valve with balanced
port construction. The RC valves are available
for replacement of types CBI and CBBI valves.
These valves contain internal check valves
to allow reverse flow on heat pump applications. This eliminates the need for an external
check valve piped around the TEV for reverse
flow. The RC valve can be used on heat pump
and air conditioning (cooling only) applications. This allows you to reduce inventory by

using the same valve to replace the I, BI and

BBI valves. The RC valves can even be used to
replace the RI valve (non-RPB versions only).

TYPE Q & BQ

For Refrigerants 22, 134a, 404A, 410A*, 507

SAE Flare & Extended ODF Solder Connections
*Type Q, EQ, and SQ are not approved for R-410A applications.

The Sporlan Q & BQ series are replaceable

cartridge style valves designed for small refrigeration systems, such as refrigerated cases,
coolers, and freezers. The externally equalized
versions of these valves are ideal for air conditioning and heat pump systems. BQ valves are
balanced ported, engineered specifically for
systems with a wide range of operating conditions and may be applied on bi-directional
applications.
Q & BQ valves are supplied as three individual
component parts: the thermostatic element,
the valve body, and the replaceable cartridge or
orifice. The interchangeable nature of the Q &
BQ family make it ideal for reducing inventory,
while increasing valve options so, the right
valve is always on hand.
BODY FEATURES
Q & BQ brass body type valves feature Sporlans
traditional knife edge, metal-to-metal thermostatic element to valve body construction,
which insures a leak-proof joint.

SELECTIVE CHARGES
Sporlan selective thermostatic charges are
specifically designed for low temperature,
medium temperature, and air conditioning
applications. The elements are manufactured
with a large flat diaphragm to reduce diaphragm stresses and provide precise control.
And, because Q & BQ valve bodies and thermostatic elements are supplied as independent components, the installer is able to select
the best possible thermostatic charge for the
application.
INTERNAL PORT DESIGN
Refrigerant flow through the valve port opposes
the pin movement in all type Q and BQ valves.
This provides improved stability at light loads,
when the pin modulates to a position close
to the port. Additionally, charge migration, is
reduced or eliminated by the Q & BQ valve
design. By engineering the liquid flow to enter
through the top of the valve body, the liquid
refrigerant warms the thermostatic element
and minimizes the potential for charge migration.
For complete details of construction, see page 35.
