Proper Expansion Valve Sensing Bulb Placement
As shown in the previous illustrations, consideration has to be given to expansion valve sensing
bulb attachment. Space must be made in the area immediately after the holding plate for this
bulb to be securely attached to the tube (see Attaching the expansion valve sensing bulb below).
This location must not be less that 2" (50mm) from a “T” connection and made in such a way that
gas flowing from another plate will not effect the temperature it reads. From proper operation it
is imperative that each sensing bulb only responds to the temperature of the gas exiting that
holding plate and not other plates “upstream”.
Attaching the Expansion Valve Sensing Bulb
Carefully uncoil the expansion valve capillary tube and sensing bulb so that it can be secured to
the suction line exiting the plate. Use the perforated metal strap provided or a small hose clamp
to secure the bulb to a horizontal run of the 1/2" suction tubing at the 10:00 or 2:00 position. Do
not use nylon “wire ties” as they do not provide sufficient clamping pressure.
Be sure that the bulb rests flat on the tube to ensure good thermal contact between the bulb and
suction line. When properly attached the bulb should be tight enough to be difficult to twist by
hand. (This is a Prestart Checkout Item)
