Every day millions of people depend on the T2 valve from Danfoss without knowing it. Well-hidden to the naked eye, the valve is the heart of countless refrigeration systems across the world ensuring proper cooling of food and indoor comfort. Over the past 50 years, the innovative T2 valve has stood the test of time and remains the single highest produced expansion valve for Danfoss.Senior vice president in Automatic Controls at Danfoss, Stephen Gugliotta, explains why the small T2 valve is such a mighty giant to Danfoss: “In the years since its initial release, the T2 has proven to be a game-changer for Danfoss attributed to its massive success in the market. It continues to be sold worldwide for use in a variety of refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Throughout its long lifetime, many competitors have tried to copy it. However, no valve has surpassed or outperformed the Danfoss T2, which is expected to enjoy continued market success for years to come”.With the T2’s long history as a safe and reliable choice for Danfoss customers, it has served as the foundation for further expansion valve innovation. The TU expansion valve, launched in 1995, was the first of its kind made of stainless steel, the company says. Continuing with this trend, later this year Danfoss will launch the first ever hermetic stainless steel electronic expansion valve, the ETS Colibri, targeted for use in air conditioning applications where the need for improved energy efficiency is ever increasing.Measurable energy savingsThe T2 has a proven track record as one of the most energy efficient solutions the market has to offer. It has only needed a few modifications over the years in order to remain compliant with changing environmental demands and in 50 years the T2 valve alone has saved approximately 157,000GWh in the thousands of applications where it has been installed. To put this into perspective, the energy saved could power Italy for six months, Denmark for nearly a year or Argentina for over a year.“After 50 years, the T2 valve still remains a fundamental part of the expansion valve program, and has held its position of superiority in the market because energy efficiency, quality and reliability have always been top priorities for Danfoss,” concludes Stephen Gugliotta.
In March 2016, the T2 expansion valve turns 50 years old, and, concurrently, Danfoss will set a milestone record when the 50 millionth T2 valve rolls down the production line at its facility in Nordborg, Denmark.
