To help you match the correct charge to your specic
application, see the TXV Charge Code Selector on the
next page. Also provided here are some typical exam-
ples of applications by refrigerant charge.
Liquid Charge – L
Ice makers, pilots, liquid injection valves
Liquid Cross-Charges – C, Z
Commercial refrigeration (low & medium temp.), ice
makers, transport refrigeration and air conditioning
Gas Charge – G
Air conditioning (including mobile), water chillers
Gas Cross-Charge – CA, AA
Heat pumps and air conditioning
Gas Cross-Charge – HAA
Heat pumps and air conditioning
W(MOP)
Maximum Operating Pressure

ARI Standard 750-2007 recommends the following color coding of thermostatic
expansion valves: R-12 White; R-22 Green; R-502 Orchid; R-40 Red;
R-500 Orange. Uncommon refrigerants with no designated color should use Blue.
Refrigerant Code Names
Emerson “T” Series TXVs [except “W”-(MOP),
G-(MOP) or GS-(MOP) gas charged types] may be
installed in any location in the system. The gas charged
type must always be installed so that the power assem-
bly will be warmer than the remote bulb. The remote
bulb tubing must not be allowed to touch a surface cold-
er than the remote bulb location. If the power assembly
or remote bulb tubing becomes colder than remote bulb,
the vapor charge will condense at the coldest point and
remote bulb will lose control.
For exact TXV selection (i.e., refrigerant tonnage,
connections, equalizer style, cap tube length, adjust-
ment and proper application, air conditioning, commer-
cial, low temperature) refer to Emerson catalog.
Emerson MOP
The Emerson “W” charge can be supplied with the
MOP feature if needed for system protection. This need
rarely occurs in modern day refrigeration except such
conditions as immediately after defrost or on gasoline
driven compressors such as truck refrigeration.
For special applications, other charges may be used
from time to time. For help in selecting a charge with
Motor Overload Protection (if required by compressor
manufacturer) see the table below and the TXV Charge
Selector on page 13.
NOTE: MOP not available with Rapid Response Bulb.
APPLICATION R134a R22 R404A/R507A
COMMERCIAL MW35 HW65 *W65
LOW TEMP. MW15 HW35 *W45
* Add refrigerAnt code As follows: s = r404A, P = r507A
Superheat adjustment of “W–MOP” charged TXVs
will change the MOP point. An increase in superheat
setting will lower the MOP point and a decrease in su-
perheat setting will raise the MOP.
THERMOSTATIC CHARGE
The table above refers to the maximum dehydration tempera-
tures when the bulb and TXV body are subjected to the same
temperature. On A, L, C, Z, and X charges, 250°F maximum
TXV body temperature is permissible (if the bulb tempera-
ture) does not exceed those shown in the table.
NOTE: Emerson charges “A”, “C” and “Z” are liquid cross-
charges.
