downward on the diaphragm, which opens the valve using the
push rods.
2. The suction pressure at the outlet of the evaporator coil is
transferred through the external equalizer tube to the
underside of the diaphragm.
3. The pin is spring loaded, which exerts pressure on the
underside of the diaphragm. Therefore, the bulb pressure
works against the spring pressure and evaporator suction
pressure to open the valve. If the load increases, the tem-
perature increases at the bulb, which increases the pressure
on the top side of the diaphragm. This opens the valve and
increases the flow of refrigerant. The increased refrigerant
flow causes the leaving evaporator temperature to
decrease. This lowers the pressure on the diaphragm and
closes the pin. The refrigerant flow is effectively stabilized
to the load demand with negligible change in superheat.
Replacing TXV
1. Recover refrigerant.
2. Remove TXV support clamp using a
5
/
l6
-in. nut driver.
3. Remove TXV using a wrench and an additional wrench on
connections to prevent damage to tubing.
4. Remove equalizer tube from suction line of coil. Use file
or tubing cutter to cut brazed equalizer line approximately
2 inches above suction tube.
5. Remove bulb from vapor tube inside cabinet.
6. Install the new TXV using a wrench and an additional
wrench on connections to prevent damage to tubing while
attaching TXV to distributor.
7. Attach the equalizer tube to the suction line. If the coil has
a mechanical connection, then use a wrench and an addi-
tional wrench on connections to prevent damage. If the
coil has a brazed connection, use a file or a tubing cutter to
remove the mechanical flare nut from the equalizer line.
Then use a new coupling to braze the equalizer line to the
stub (previous equalizer line) in suction line.
8. Attach TXV bulb in the same location where the original
(in the sensing bulb indent) was when it was removed,
using the supplied bulb clamps. See Fig. 19.
9. Route equalizer tube through suction connection opening
(large hole) in fitting panel and install fitting panel in
place.
10. Sweat the inlet of TXV marked “IN” to the liquid line.
Avoid excessive heat which could damage the TXV valve.
Use quenching cloth when applying heat anywhere on TXV.
Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
There are two access ports in the system: on the suction tube
near the compressor and on the discharge tube near the compres-
sor. These are brass fittings with black plastic caps. The hose
connection fittings are standard
1
/
4
-in. SAE male flare couplings.
The brass fittings are two-piece high flow valves, with a receptacle
base brazed to the tubing and an integral spring-closed check
valve core screwed into the base. See Fig. 20. This check valve is
permanently assembled into this core body and cannot be serviced
separately; replace the entire core body if necessary. Service tools
are available from RCD that allow the replacement of the check
valve core without having to recover the entire system refrigerant
charge. Apply compressor refrigerant oil to the check valve core’s
bottom o-ring. Install the fitting body with 96 ± 10 in.-lb (10.85 ±
1.1 Nm) of torque; do not over-tighten.
