Danfoss 068U1974 Thermostatic Expansion Valve 3/8" x 1/2" ODF 5 Ton

The Danfoss 068U1974 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) designed for residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. This valve precisely meters refrigerant flow to ensure optimal system performance and energy efficiency.

Key Specifications:

• Inlet connection: 3/8" ODF (flare)
• Outlet connection: 1/2" ODF (flare)
• Orifice size: #8
• Capacity: 5 ton nominal cooling capacity
• Refrigerant metering device for direct expansion systems

This TXV features sweat (solder) tube connections and is designed to maintain proper superheat control across varying load conditions. The valve responds to changes in evaporator temperature and pressure to regulate refrigerant flow, preventing liquid floodback to the compressor while maximizing system efficiency. Suitable for use with various refrigerants in HVAC-R applications.
