Universal OEM Replacement
Thermostatic Expansion Valves, Type TR6
The Danfoss Universal TR6 thermostatic expansion valve is available in seven models that cover original equipment manufacturer (OEM) air-conditioner and heat pump designs in a wide range of applications, from 1.5 to six tons in R-22 and R-410A systems. All aftermarket TR6 valves have 3/8” by 3/8” connections and come with Aeroquip and Chatleff fittings, meaning they easily install into almost any residential air conditioning system. This feature simplifies stocking and inventory as service technicians do not need to carry several different OEM valve designs on their trucks and a wholesaler can be assured that they will have a replacement TXV for OEM equipment, regardless of manufacturer. An internal check valve, adjustable superheat and adaptable inlet and outlet ports make it easy for contractors to install the valve after selecting the refrigerant, tonnage and connection type.
Ideal applications for these valves include:
• Replacement of a piston type metering device for an efficiency upgrade. Field studies have demonstrated energy savings of up to 36%.
• Installation as part of a condensing unit replacement – including a TXV ensures that system efficiency is maximized and provides an easy contractor upsell.
• OEM replacement. The included Aeroquip and Chatleff fittings ensure that TR6 TXVs easily replace factory installed TXVs.
