THERMAL EXPANSION VALVES
In situations where system load conditions increase or de‑
crease over extended periods of time and the liquid injection
thermal expansion valve is not adequate for the new condi‑
tions, an improvement in valve perfor mance may be achieved
by increasing or decreasing discharge tube size.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST SUPERHEAT
ADJUSTMENT STEM ON BOTTOM OF VALVE IN AN EF-
FORT TO CHANGE THE VALVE’S PERFORMANCE. THIS
ADJUSTMENT IS PRESET AT THE FACTORY. ONLY AD-
JUST 1/4" BLEED VALVE ON EQUALIZING LINE.
