  • I didn’t make this up but it’s pretty useful when trying to remember if you should use the dew or bubble point. “Dewper heat & Bubble cooling”.
  • @johnorr2055
    It would be nice to have a head pressure control valve class
  • What happens if the small tube near the sensing bulb has a leakage but repaired as well? Can the txv still be functional?
  • @SuperRaisi
    From where can I know the standard superheat for my package unit?
  • @SombraLocs
    Where do you get that Superheat stem tool?
  • The adjusting screw needs to be accessible while the system is in operation.
  • My expansion valve is sporlan HVE 5-1/2 not getting open properly our chiller is air cooled condensing type now we order as spare as per the tonnage of chiller which is 173 LRA now we ordered the spare and got the Sporlan HVE-16 expansion valve type with same inlet and out pipe as the existing one . Now we connect and started the unit flooding of refrigerant started. Can we adjust the HVE -16 expansion valve superheat to HVE 5-1/2 type. Pls suggest
