Looking for good resources on subcooling valves

[WestcoastApprentice]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone out there has any good resources or links they can point me to for learning more about subcooling valves. Im hoping to find something from a manufacturer or something that's simillar to like what sporlan has for TXVs

Are you talking about, a expansion valve that is controlled by the liquid temp (a very rare valve), or a expansion used for liquid subcooling

An excellent choice.

Really, a TEV is a TEV, the problem is that, in most areas, the load on a subcooler can very pretty widely so unless you're using something like the Y-1155 or an EEV to control the subcooler's superheat, you need to use multiple stages to control it properly.
