Discover the benefits of Parker Sporlan electronic expansion valves
Available at A&C Engineering | Sporlan Distributor for the Benelux
Electronic expansion valves sit at the heart of modern, energy-efficient refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. They meter refrigerant with millisecond precision, helping designers trim superheat, stabilize evaporator pressure and cut compressor run-time. Parker Sporlan step-motor portfolio is one of the broadest on the market, ranging from tiny fractional-ton valves for self-contained merchandisers to heavyweight hot-gas and heat-reclaim valves for industrial racks.
In this guide we look at six key series, highlighting what each one does, where it fits best and why installers across the Benelux source them from A&C Engineering, Parker Sporlan distributor for Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
What Are Electronic Expansion Valves?
Electronic expansion valves regulate the amount of refrigerant flowing into your system’s evaporator. Unlike traditional mechanical valves, electronic expansion valves use a small motor and electronic signals to adjust refrigerant flow quickly and precisely. This means better temperature control, more consistent system operation, and reduced energy consumption.
General Benefits of Using Parker Sporlan Electronic Expansion Valves:
- More efficient operation
- Lower energy bills
- Longer equipment life
- Better cooling and heating performance
- More stable temperatures and pressure
- Fewer maintenance issues
Sporlan valves are trusted worldwide and known for their quality, performance, and innovation. Below are the benefits of the product series that are available at A&C Engineering.
1. SER Series
If you need a reliable electronic valve for most commercial refrigeration systems, the SER Series is an excellent choice.
Applications:
- Supermarkets
- Walk-in coolers
- Chillers
- CO₂ refrigeration systems
The SER valves adapt quickly to changes in demand, helping your system stay efficient and consistent. They’re designed to work well with both older refrigerants and new, environmentally friendly alternatives. There’s also a high-pressure version for modern CO₂ systems.
Benefits:
- Handles a wide range of capacities
- Easy to install and service
- Works with many refrigerants
2. SEI Series
The SEI Series is ideal for systems that are too large for small valves but don’t need the power of heavy-duty ones. It’s a favorite in food processing, refrigerated containers, and mid-sized chillers.
Applications:
- Blast freezers
- Beverage coolers
- Medium commercial refrigeration systems
If you need precise temperature control in a compact design, this valve hits the sweet spot.
Benefits:
- Excellent control in medium-capacity systems
- Compact design saves space
- Easy integration into existing systems
3. SEH Series
When you need serious performance for large-scale cooling systems, the SEH Series gets the job done. These valves are built for big loads and challenging environments.
Applications:
- Industrial chillers
- Ice production plants
- Central cooling systems
The SEH Series gives you high capacity, ultra-fine control, and reliable performance even in tough conditions.
Benefits:
- Handles large cooling systems with ease
- Delivers stable operation under heavy loads
- Built to last, even in extreme conditions
4. SDR Series
The SDR Series isn’t just for refrigerant flow—it’s designed to control pressure using hot gas. These valves are key when your system needs to stay stable at low loads or during fluctuating conditions.
Applications:
- Data center cooling
- Lab environments
- Temperature-sensitive production lines
Instead of letting your compressor turn on and off constantly, the SDR valve keeps the pressure smooth and steady, which protects your equipment and improves energy efficiency.
Benefits:
- Keeps pressure stable
- Reduces wear on compressors
- Improves comfort in precision environments
5. CEV Series
Need a small but powerful valve for heat pumps or light commercial systems? The CEV Series is compact, efficient, and perfect for modern refrigerants.
Applications:
- Heat pumps
- Rooftop HVAC units
- Light commercial refrigeration
This series supports the new generation of low-GWP refrigerants, making it a future-proof choice for systems that need to be sustainable and efficient.
Benefits:
- Small size, big performance
- Great for reversible systems (heating & cooling)
- Compatible with eco-friendly refrigerants
6. MTW Series
The MTW Series is a three-way valve designed to manage heat reclaim systems. In other words, it helps you re-use heat from your refrigeration system instead of wasting it.
Applications:
- Supermarkets
- Commercial buildings with heat recovery
- HVAC systems with heat re-use
By directing heat where it’s needed (like water heaters or defrost systems), the MTW Series saves energy and boosts efficiency. It’s like getting “free heating” from your cooling system.
Benefits:
- Saves energy by re-using waste heat
- Great for sustainable building designs
- Smart two-in-one valve design
