Hoshizaki 446461-01 Ice Machine Expansion Valve

The Hoshizaki 446461-01 Expansion Valve is an essential part in refrigeration and air conditioning systems and is used for the control of the flow of refrigerant. Serving as a thermal expansion valve, it controls to the refrigerant into the evaporator due to changes in its temperature and pressure to a maximum of 50% to allow cool and efficient operation. This valve helps to increase system performance by avoiding compressor overloading and constant fluctuation of temperature which results in energy conservation and system reliability. Some of the advantages of using it include low maintenance costs as well as longer equipment durability and therefore it is a vital part for commercial ice makers and refrigeration.
