The Contura EXPANSION VALVE is an excellent replacement option to upgrade existing Lennox brand or other brands of condensing units. This valve features a drain for condensate, and is compatible with 3/4" hose line. It has a valve capacity of 21000 BTU per hour and comes equipped with a 3/8" copper line inlet union.
Expansion valves are used to eliminate excess pressure in the cooling coil and allow for surface unit operation throughout the range of ambient temperatures. By eliminating unnecessary cycles on/off, vibration and noise are reduced, while increasing actual cooling.
Uncompromised performance requires a return air temperature at a comfortable level in the home. An Air Conditioning Contractor can increase the efficiency of your cooling system by using Lennox Expansion Valves (59W21) at your outdoor unit and indoor return air locations.
Expansion valve is necessary on every Lennox® system. It is used to increase the amount of air going into your ducts when it is cold outside so you can maintain the temperature inside your home or business.
