Danfoss 068U2287 Txv Element 3/8 X 1/2 Inch Tuae

Product Description

The DANFOSS 068U2287 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) element from the TUAE series, designed to regulate refrigerant flow in direct-expansion refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The element measures 3/8 inch on the inlet connection and 1/2 inch on the outlet connection. TXV elements control superheat at the evaporator by modulating refrigerant flow based on suction-line temperature and pressure, which protects the compressor from liquid slugging and keeps the evaporator operating at peak efficiency. Licensed HVAC-R technicians are the intended service trade for this component.

This valve element is suited for commercial and industrial refrigeration systems as well as direct-expansion cooling applications where precise superheat control is required. The TUAE element design is commonly installed in new construction refrigeration systems and as a replacement in existing TXV assemblies where the sensing element or valve body requires service. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data; consult Danfoss documentation or the equipment service manual to confirm fitment before ordering.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch inlet x 1/2 inch outlet connection sizing for direct-line integration
• TUAE series element design for thermostatic superheat control
• Regulates refrigerant flow to protect the compressor from liquid floodback
• Suitable for direct-expansion refrigeration and air conditioning applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style TUAE series thermostatic expansion valve element for direct-expansion refrigeration and air conditioning systems requiring a 3/8 inch x 1/2 inch connection. No specific compatible model numbers were included in the available product data; verify system requirements against Danfoss documentation prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC-R technician. Recover all system refrigerant and relieve system pressure before removing the existing TXV element. Ensure the replacement element is properly seated and the sensing bulb is correctly positioned and secured on the suction line before recharging the system. Follow all applicable local mechanical codes and manufacturer service guidelines throughout the process.
