Carrier EA02DZ456 Thermal Expansion Valve 5/8 Inch X1 1/8 Inch 8Ton R22 5'Cap

The Carrier EA02DZ456 is a compact and essential component within air conditioning systems, known as a Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV). Made from lightweight materials (around 0.22 lbs), it features a 5/8" x 1-1/8" connection size for sweat or braze connections, simplifying installation within refrigerant lines. Precise Refrigerant Control The TXV acts as a metering device, precisely controlling the flow of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil. This refrigerant is responsible for absorbing heat from your indoor air. Pressure and Temperature Regulation The valve responds to changes in pressure and temperature within the evaporator coil. As the cooling demand increases, the TXV automatically adjusts to allow more refrigerant to flow. Conversely, when the demand decreases, it restricts the flow, preventing the evaporator coil from freezing. By maintaining optimal refrigerant pressure and flow, the TXV ensures efficient heat absorption and prevents evaporator coil icing. This translates to efficient cooling performance, potentially lower energy consumption, and protection of your AC system from damage. The Carrier EA02DZ456 is found in residential and commercial air conditioning units. Replacing a worn-out TXV with this model can significantly improve your AC system's performance and efficiency. The precise control of refrigerant flow allows for optimal cooling capacity while preventing coil freeze-up. Before ordering a replacement, be sure to consult your specific AC unit's manual for compatibility information.
