Scotsman 16-0867-21 Ice Machine Thermal Expansion Valve(TXV)

The Scotsman 16-0867-21 Thermal Expansion Valve regulates the flow of refrigerant entering the evaporator in a commercial ice machine. It responds to temperature and pressure changes to meter refrigerant accurately allowing the evaporator, to absorb heat at a controlled rate during the freezing cycle. This component is typically installed within the refrigeration circuit and works with the compressor, condenser and evaporator to maintain proper cooling performance. In foodservice operations it assists in stabilizing system pressures and consistent ice production by, ensuring the refrigeration system operates within its intended temperature range.
