Introduction TUH/TCHE/TRHE capacity regulators adapt

compressor capacity to actual evaporator load
in applications operating at an evaporating
temperature of around 0°C. TUH/TCHE/TRHE
valves are typically used in applications such as:
Air driers
Water chillers
Fitted in a bypass between the high and low-
pressure sides of the air-drier system, TUH/TCHE/
TRHE maintain compressor suction pressure by
injecting hot gas/cool gas from the high-pressure
side.

TUH has internal pressure equalisation and opens

when pressure drops at the valve outlet.
TCHE/TRHE have external pressure equalisation
and open directly when compressor suction
pressure drops.

For all types, the bulb only serves as a reservoir temperature variation during operation is limited
for the charge. However, it is recommended (see application drawings).

1) The nominal replacement capacity is the regulator capacity at
evaporating temperature te = –2°C / 28°F,
condensing temperature tc = +40°C / 104°F,
reduction of suction temperature / suction pressure ∆ts = 4 K / 7°F.
2) Valves with inch connections have 1/4 in. pressure-equalisation.
3) Valves with mm connections have 6 mm pressure-equalisation.

Correction for condensing temperature

The corrected replacement capacity can be
obtained by dividing the replacement capacity
with the correction factor given below.

Correction factor for condensing temperature

Condensing temperature
R134a +30°C +40°C +50°C
0.8 1.0 1.2

Example
Refrigerant R134 The corrected replacement capacity thus
Compressor capacity 6 kW at +2/+50°C becomes 3 kW divided by 1.2 = 2.5 kW.
Min. load 50% 3 kW
Replacement capacity 6 – 3 = 3 kW The TCHE 4 gives 2.7 kW at –1.0/+40°C ( )
Min. evaporating temperature te = –1.0°C and gives 2.5 kW at –0.8/+40°C ( )
Condensing temperature tc = +50°C
Correction factor (table) 1.2 Thus the TCHE 4 would be a suitable choice.

Application
Note:
The bulb serves only as a
reservoir for the charge,
however, it is recommended
to mount it in a position where
the temperature variation
during running conditions is
limited (see a and b in the
application drawings).
