Carrier EF19ZG226 Reversing Valve Coil 120V

The Carrier EF19ZG226 is a reversing valve coil, a critical part in heat pumps and some air conditioners. It functions like an electromagnet, controlling a reversing valve that determines refrigerant flow direction. In heating mode, the coil energizes, activating the valve to switch the refrigerant flow, allowing the system to extract heat from outdoors and deliver warm air inside. When cooling, the coil is de-energized, reversing the refrigerant flow for traditional air conditioning operation. This specific coil is a solenoid valve coil, meaning it utilizes an electrical current to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field physically moves a plunger within the valve, redirecting refrigerant flow. The EF19ZG226 is designed for compatibility with Carrier heat pumps and possibly some air conditioner models.
