Hoshizaki 4A6826-01 Thermal Expansion Valve(TXV)

The Hoshizaki 4A6826-01 Thermal Expansion Valve(TXV) is a thermostatic control component used in commercial refrigeration systems to regulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator. It meters liquid refrigerant from the high-pressure side of circuit into a controlled low-pressure state enabling proper phase change for heat absorption. It is installed between liquid line and evaporator coil, where it maintains stable superheat conditions and supports consistent ice formation. The valve responds to thermal conditions at the evaporator outlet adjusting flow to match cooling demand. It is used in food service equipment and similar refrigeration systems requiring accurate temperature control.
