Safety instructions
• Read
installation
instruction
Failure to comply can result in device failure,
system damage or personal injury.
• Before opening any system make sure pressure
in system is brought to and remains at
atmospheric pressure.
• Do not use any other fluid media without prior
approval of ALCO Controls. Use of fluid not
listed could result in:
Change of hazard category of product and
consequently change of conformity assessment
requirement for product in accordance with
European
pressure
equipment
97/23/EC.
Installation
1. Valves may be installed in any direction, but
should be located as close as possible to the
distributor or evaporator inlet.

-Expansion Valve TI series
2. Be sure liquid line is connected to inlet of TI valve
after inserting orifice including strainer into the
valve (Fig 1).
3. Flare connections:
For flare joints the following subjects need to be
considered:
- Proper torque for fastening the nuts as follows:
Inlet: 40 to 50 Nm
Outlet: 50 to 60 Nm
External equalizer: 17 to 20 Nm
- Using a nut according DIN/EN/SAE/ANSI
standards.
- Shape of tube end must be in 45° angle, straight
edge, clean without swarf (Fig 3 and 4)
- Apply a few drops of refrigeration oil on surfaces
of angled tube before fastening.
Failure to do so it will not provide the proper
tightness.
Warning: If a leakage is detected at specified
torque, the flare edge and nut must be examined for
correctness. A torque over the specified value may

not stop the leakage. Do not over torque the nut at
1/4''& 6mm
the inlet connection. The orifice would be jammed

4. Brazing connections TILE (Fig 5)
TILE with stainless steel does not require any wet
rag during brazing. It is important to consider the
1/4"
following subjects:
3/8"
- Use of flux and silver rod having minimum 30%
silver
- Direct torch away from valve
5. Brazing connections TIS(E) (Fig 6):
Wrap wet rag around the valve to prevent valve
damage while brazing. Direct torch away from
valve body (max. temp. see Fig. 6).
6. Assembling of TIA Brazing adapter (Fig. 1-2):
Use supplied copper washer as shown in Fig. 1.
Make sure that the surface of brass orifice (see
arrow 1 on Fig. 1) is scratch/damage free and
thoroughly.
apply a few drops of refrigeration oil.
The proper torque for fastening the nut of adapter:
40 to 50 Nm
7. Unwind the capillary tube. Do not bend the
capillary tube at brazing joint. Allow space on top
of valve head bending (Fig. 1).
8. Securely fasten the bulb with provided strap.
Insulate bulb with suitable material against
environment (Fig. 7).
9. Be sure that the external equalizer line cannot
siphon oil from the suction line.
10. The expansion valve must be free of all
directive
contaminants. Install an ALCO Filter Drier
before the valve.
11. Check for leaks, sufficient refrigerant charge
and be sure no flash gas is present before
attempting to check valve operation.

• After completion of installation, a test pressure
must be carried out as follows:
Proper operation of Gas charges
Warning: Valves with gas charge feature MOP
function and operate properly only if the
temperature at the bulb is below the temperature
at the head of the valve and at the capillary tube
(see Fig. 8). If valve head becomes colder than the
bulb, malfunction of the expansion valve occurs
(i.e. erratic low pressure or excessive superheat).
Superheat Adjustment (Fig. 9)
Proceed as follows if the superheat need the
readjustment:
1. Remove seal cap from side of valve.
2. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise (+) to
3. Determine superheat "SH" according to Fig. 9.
4. Replace and hand tighten seal cap.
Warning: There are max. 11 turns on the
adjustment stem (from one end to other end).
When stop is reached any further turning will
damage the valve.
See Fig. 10 for factory setting stem position:
Attention!: TILE-ZW (R410A) may require the
increase of factory static superheat setting for low
temperature refrigeration applications such as
freezers.
TI valves with standard charge for alternative
refrigerants
It is possible to use a valve with standard charge in a
system having alternative refrigerants when the
following criteria is taken into the account:
• Static
readjustment of valve
• Opening superheat changes after readjustment
valve
• Slight shifting of MOP value (if available)
The magnitude of shifting/changes is dependant on
the saturation pressure of a designed charge vs.
alternative
temperature (see table 2).

increase the superheat and counterclockwise (-) to
decrease superheat. Changes in Superheat (K) per
stem turn depending on evaporating temperature

minutes are required for the system to stabilize
after the adjustment is made.
