International. Danfoss announced that its TD1 thermostatic expansion valve now features a more sustainable stainless steel capillary tube and sensor bulb. The valve now offers up to 15% more energy savings and up to 20% reduction in extraction time under real operating conditions compared to capillary tubes.
The TD1 thermostatic expansion valve is designed to control liquid injection into small capacity evaporators for commercial refrigeration applications such as glass door displays, commercial refrigerators and freezers, cold rooms, ice machines, ice cream parlors. and refrigerated beverage dispensers.
The TD1 range now features a capillary tube and sensor bulb both made of stainless steel, which will be standard on all UL-approved Danfoss TXVs from March 2022. In addition to being a more sustainable material than copper, stainless steel is also more adaptable to varying temperatures.
Designed for real-life conditions
Compared to standard capillary tubes, thermostatic expansion valves have a great advantage: namely, the ability to adapt to different cooling conditions for efficient control of overheating.
This enables OEMs to create more energy-efficient and reliable solutions that comply with A3 refrigerant regulations and reduce overall development costs. At the same time, it significantly increases the quality and safety of food.
