Trane VAL8580 500# 5Ton R-22 Thermal Expansion Valve(Txv)

The Trane VAL8580 is a 5-ton thermal expansion valve (TXV) designed for use in HVAC systems utilizing R-22 refrigerant. A TXV is a key component that regulates the flow of refrigerant in an air conditioning or refrigeration system. By responding to the temperature within the evaporator coil, the TXV ensures optimal refrigerant pressure for efficient heat transfer. This translates to better cooling capacity and system performance. Made of durable brass and sized with ½ inch connections, the Trane VAL8580 is suitable for a wide range of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. It operates with a maximum pressure rating of 500 psi and can handle systems with a capacity of up to 24,000 BTU. While the description mentions natural gas and voltage, it's important to note that TXVs regulate refrigerant, not natural gas, and do not require an external power source.
