Description
The Sanhua RFKH Series Thermostatic Expansion Valves regulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator while controlling refrigerant superheat at the evaporator outlet. They are designed for refrigeration and air conditioning applications, including freezers, ice makers, dehumidifiers and heat pumps.
The series features replaceable valve orifices, stainless steel sensing bulbs and capillary tubes, and a choice of internal or external pressure equalisation. Different models are available for specific refrigerants and evaporating temperature requirements.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT USED FOR?
The Sanhua RFKH Series Thermostatic Expansion Valves are used to meter refrigerant entering an evaporator and maintain the required superheat. They help refrigeration and air conditioning systems control refrigerant flow as operating conditions change.
