TEV capacity ratings for R-22, R-134a, R-401A, R-402A,
R-404A, R-407C, R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, R-422D, and
R-507 are based on vapor free 100°F liquid refrigerant enter-
ing the expansion valve, a maximum opening superheat of 7°F,
and a standard factory air test superheat setting. A discussion
of the relationship between valve capacities and superheat set-
tings can be found in Bulletin 10-9.
The ratings for evaporator temperatures 40°F, 20°F, -10°F,
-40°F in the capacity tables are in accordance with ANSI/ARI
Standard Number 750. TEVs are tested in accordance with
ANSI/ASHRAE 17.
TEV models featuring the mechanical pressure limit style
thermostatic elements, i.e., the Types G(PL) and C(PL) TEVs,
are now obsolete. Consult Bulletin 210-10-17 for additional
information on this subject and replacement valves.
For TEV capacity ratings at operating conditions not shown in
the following tables, contact Sporlan Division of Parker.

*APPLICATION FACTORS:
1. The Type ZP charges have essentially the same characteristics as the Type Z charge with one exception: they produce a pressure limit Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP). ZP charges are not
intended as replacements for Z charges. Each should be selected for its own unique purpose.
2. All air conditioning and heat pump charges are intended for use with externally equalized valves.
3. Type L liquid charges are also available for most commonly used refrigerants in most element sizes.
4. The Type X charges are not to be used with “EBS” and “O” valves.
5. If in doubt as to which charge to use, review the section on thermostatic charges in Bulletin 10-9 or contact Sporlan Division of Parker, Washington, Missouri with complete system data.
6. For dual temperature applications, use the “C” charge.
7. The “C” charge may be used on applications down to -30°F on R-22, R-404A and R-507.
