Thermostatic expansion valves
type TE5 to TE55
The TE series expansion valve regulate the
injection of refrigerant into evaporators. It
controls the refrigerant flow based on the
superheat. The exchangeable power element
is produced with the well known Danfoss laser
welding technology for extended lifetime
capability. The TE series is available with a wide
range of orifices which will cover a wide range
of applications.
Features Large operating range: Patented bulb strap design.
N-range -40°C to +10°C / MWP (maximum working pressure) 28 bar.
B-range -60°C to -25°C
Wide capacity range to minimize capacity gap
Interchangeable orifice assembly. and overlap.
Stainless steel power element, capillary tube TE55 has balanced orifice design.
and bulb.
Wide capacity range.
MOP function is available.
Superior charge performance.

Identification The thermostatic element is fitted with a label
(on top of the diaphragm). The code refers to the
refrigerant for which the valve is designed:
X = R22
N = R134a
S = R404A/R507
Z = R407C
The label holds information like valve type,
evaporating temperature range, MOP point, Element label
refrigerant, and max. test pressure, PS.
Orifice assembly for TE5, TE12, 20 and 55
The orifice assembly is marked on top of the
spring cup, e.g. as shown in the figure.
For a given size of valve, the same orifice
assembly can be used for valves with ranges N
and B.

Design/Function General
All TE valves have an interchangeable orifice All valves are equipped with external pressure
assembly. equalization.
TE5 to TE55 valves are built up of three main To ensure long operating life, the valve cone and
components: seat are made of a special alloy with particularly
1 - Thermostatic element good wear properties.
2 - Orifice assembly
3 - Valve body with connections
The orifice is refrigerant and range independend.

How to select a valve: Q (capacity) = 45kW Q (capacity) = 45kW
Tcon (condensing temperature) = 25°C fsub (subcooling correction factor) = 1.10
Example: Tevap (evaporator temperature) = -30°C fp (distribution correction factor) = 0.92
Tsub (subcooling temperature) =10K
Q
Dpd (distributer pressure drop) = 2 bar = Selected capacity
fsub x fp
45
= 44.5 kW
1.10 x 0.92
The selection will be:

How to select a valve: Q (capacity) = 45kW Q (capacity) = 45kW
Tcon (condensing temperature) = 25°C fsub (subcooling correction factor) = 1.08
Example: Tevap (evaporator temperature) = -30°C fp (distribution correction factor) = 0.92
Tsub (subcooling temperature) =10K
Q
Dpd (distributer pressure drop) = 2 bar = Selected capacity
fsub x fp
