no tellin.... I got no idea about the specs on the TXV... I checked the
archives and it doesn't give specifics. The training I recieved on Rheem
systems with Multiflex coils says 10 - 14 degrees SC to ensure a solid
column of liquid refrigerant to the expansion valve.
BTW.. a little more info on that system as its configured(this is what not
having the correct air handler will do)....
12SEER, 10.8EER, COP 3.3, HSPF 6.95...not even close to the advertised 14
SEER.
OTOH, the RPMC-030JAZ (12 SEER)with the RBHK-21 air handler with an
RCHJ-36A1 coil will net
13.8SEER, 11.85EER, COP 3.52, HSPF 7.15. Maybe picking nits, but....
THe RPMC heat pumps with the RBHK air handlers were my premium line for many
years, and I sold a lot of them.
