Danfoss is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its popular TU stainless steel thermostatic expansion valve trusted for the most demanding refrigeration applications by OEMs and installers worldwide.
With more than 15 million valves sold since its launch in 1995, TU’s combination of high precision and unique stainless-steel construction has made it a staple of cold-chain systems in particular.
Equipment manufacturers have come to value the TU’s robustness, reliability, and consistent performance in challenging environments, using it everywhere from refrigerated shipping containers and trucks/trailers to ice makers and ice cream machines.
Moreover, the valve’s flexible design allows customization for a wide variety of applications, sizes, refrigerants, and connections. A more recent innovation enables each valve to be OEM/custom laser-engraved with its exact configuration, ensuring the correct version is always used. A newly developed low-GWP bulb charge also helps significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
The TU is no less popular with installers. Its heat-resistant stainless-steel casing and bi-metal connections make it easy to braze, with no need for time-consuming wet wrapping.
