Sporlan 130188 Thermostatic Expansion Valve Type S SVE-1-1/2-C 1-1/2 Ton R-22 External Equalizer

Product Description

The Sporlan 130188 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) of the Type S design, built for commercial refrigeration systems using R-22 refrigerant. It carries the model designation SVE-1-1/2-C and delivers a nominal capacity of 1-1/2 ton. HVAC and refrigeration technicians rely on thermostatic expansion valves to meter refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil with precision. By responding to suction line temperature and pressure, the TXV keeps the evaporator operating at peak efficiency across varying load conditions. The Sporlan 130188 uses an external equalizer connection, which makes it well suited for evaporators with a notable pressure drop across the coil. External equalization allows the sensing bulb signal to be referenced against the evaporator outlet pressure rather than the valve inlet, resulting in tighter superheat control. The thermostatic charge type is C, a common Sporlan designation matched to specific refrigerant and temperature range applications. The inlet connection measures 1/2 inches ODF and the outlet connection measures 5/8 inches ODF, accommodating standard copper line sets used in commercial refrigeration. The capillary tube length is 5 feet, or 1.524 meters, giving technicians enough reach to position the sensing bulb correctly on the suction line. Nominal operating conditions are rated at an evaporator temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and a liquid temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with a nominal pressure drop of 100 psi. The maximum operating pressure is 450 psi, or 31 bar, providing a wide safety margin for typical commercial applications. The valve includes a 12 mesh permanent strainer and a filter element type 83, which helps protect internal components from debris in the refrigerant circuit. This valve is a direct replacement for systems originally specced with Sporlan SVE series components.

• Nominal 1-1/2 ton capacity rated for R-22 refrigerant in commercial refrigeration systems
• External equalizer design provides accurate superheat control on evaporators with significant pressure drop
• 12 mesh permanent strainer with filter element type 83 protects valve internals from system debris
