Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the orifice interchangeable?
Yes, the TE2 body supports orifice sizes 01 to 05 for capacity adaptation. - Why external equalization?
It compensates for evaporator pressure drop and helps maintain accurate superheat control. - Can this valve be used with other refrigerants?
No, this model is calibrated exclusively for R134A and R513A. - Purpose of the capillary tube?
The 59 inch capillary tube transmits sensing bulb data to the valve for responsive superheat adjustment.
