-Expansion Valve TX3
Installation (Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5)
1. Valves may be installed in any position, but
should be located as close as possible to the
distributor or evaporator inlet.
2. Be sure liquid line is connected to inlet of TX3
(marked "IN" on valve body).
3. Install line connections to valve. Wrap wet
cloths around e valve to prevent valve damage
while brazing. Direct torch away from valve
thoroughly.
(max. temp. see Fig. 2).
4. Attach the remote bulb to the suction line
(Fig. 5) as close to the evaporator outlet as
possible. Securely fasten the bulb with straps
skill.

6. The expansion valve must be free of all
contaminants. Install an ALCO Filter Drier
before the valve.
7. Check for leaks, sufficient refrigerant charge
and be sure no flash gas is present before
attempting to check valve operation.

Superheat Adjustment (Fig. 6,7)
TX3 is factory set to a standard setting (s. technical
data). If the superheat must be adjusted proceed as
follows:
1. Remove seal cap from bottom of valve.
2. Turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase
and counterclockwise to decrease superheat.
Warning: There are approx. 13 turns on the
adjustment stem (from left to right stop).
When stop is reached any further turning
will damage valve. Changes in superheat (K)
per stem turn depending on evaporating
temperature and refrigerant see Fig. 7. As much
as 30 minutes are required for the system to
stabilize after the adjustment is made.
3. Determine superheat according to Fig. 6.
4. Replace and tighten seal cap (hand-tighten).
