Lennox 87255 Expansion Valve R22 3/8X1/2" 5Ton

The Lennox 87255 1 is 1a thermostatic expansion valve intended for use in air conditioning systems using R22 refrigerant. It is crucial for adjusting the temperature of your cooled air. Consider it a pressure-actuated nozzle that regulates the flow of refrigerant. Warm refrigerant vapor enters the valve, expands, and loses pressure. The temperature change within the valve activates a spring-loaded mechanism that changes the nozzle's aperture. This exact management of refrigerant flow offers the highest system efficiency and cooling effectiveness. The Lennox 87255 is constructed of brass for its durability and heat transmission qualities. It has a capacity of 5 tons, making it ideal for larger household or light commercial air conditioning systems. Size: 3/8 Inch. Inch on one side and 1/2 Inch on the other, it ensures proper fit within the refrigerant line. The valve operates effectively within a temperature range of -41.4°F to -152°F, ideal for the refrigerant it controls.
