Basic Rules of Good Practice Emerson Climate Technologies
DON’Ts
DON’T be a “parts-changer.”
Analyze problems based on the symptoms, and determine the specic cause be-
fore making any changes or repairs. Emerson’s Troubleshooting Guide describes
a wide variety of problems that may be encountered, and their probable causes.
DON’T think of a TXV as a temperature or pressure control.
Thinking of it as a superheat control is basic to achieving optimum system perfor-
mance.
DON’T attempt to use any control for any application other than the one it
was designed for.
Using a pressure regulator for a pressure relief valve, or any similar substitution,
is not good practice and almost certainly won’t deliver proper performance. Mis-
applications can lead to equipment damage and even injury. When doubt exists,
check with the manufacturer.
DON’T energize a solenoid coil while it is removed from the valve.
Without the magnetic effect of the solenoid core, the coil will burn out in a matter
of seconds.
DON’T install a previously used lter drier or replaceable cartridge.
It could introduce contaminants that it has picked up since its removal from a
system.
DON’T select solenoid valves by line size or port size, but by valve capacity.
They must also be compatible with the intended application with regard to the
specic refrigerant used, the maximum opening pressure differential (MOPD), the
maximum working pressure (MWP), and the electrical characteristics. Never ap-
ply a valve outside of its design limits or for uses not specically catalogued.
DON’T rely on sight or touch for temperature measurements.
Use an accurate thermometer. Once again, you can’t get accurate diagnoses
with faulty inputs.
