Danfoss Types PHTX85/PHTX300/067B3303 Thermostatic expansion valves Introduction

PHT thermostatic expansion valves regulate the injection of refrigerant liquid into evaporators.Injection is controlled by the refrigerant superheat.Therefore the valves are especially suitable for liquid injection in ”dry“ evaporators where the superheat at the evaporator outlet is proportional to the evaporator load.

Danfoss Types PHTX85/PHTX300/067B3303 Thermostatic expansion valves Design Function

General

PHT valves have an interchangeable orifi ce assembly.PHT valves are built up of three interchangeable main components:

I. Thermostatic element, pos. 1

II. Orifi ce assembly, pos. 2

III. Valve body with connections, pos. 3

Including Insert, pos. 7

For the same valve type and refrigerant, the associated orifi ce assembly is suitable for all vers ions of valve body and in all evaporating tem pe ra tu re ranges. The charge in the thermostatic element depends on the evaporating temperature range. A tefl on valve plate (pos. 10) in the main valve (not PHT 300) ensures a tight main orifi ce. All valves with external pressure equalization (pos. 5).The double contact bulb gives fast and precise reaction to temperature changes in the evaporator. It also makes fi tting the bulb quick and easy. The valves are able to withstand the eff ects that normally occur with hot gas defrosting. To ensure long operating life, the valve cone and seat are made of a special alloy with particularly good wear qualities.
