Thermal Expansion Valves
LCL Take-Apart – DeSuperheating
Features
• Stainless steel power element eliminates corrosion and
prevents valve failure
• Take-Apart construction for easy eld service
The LCL Take-Apart series is a desuperheating (Liquid Injection)
valve used in conjunction with hot gas bypass to prevent excessive
suction line superheat. LCL valves can be used for interstage cool-
ing in compound systems.
Specifications
• Maximum working pressure: 450 psig
Options
• Interchangeable, replaceable cages for versatility
• External superheat adjustment
• Interchangeable body anges
• Interchangeable power assemblies
Note: Valve sizes LCL5, LCL8, LCLE5 and
LCLE8 are OBSOLETE.
