Denso 475-2011 A/C Expansion Valve

Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2011

Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2011 is an angle valve A/C expansion valve built to regulate refrigerant flow between the high- and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. For vehicles like the Honda Accord, Toyota Celica, Mitsubishi Mirage, and Mitsubishi Mighty Max, correct calibration is critical to stable evaporator performance and consistent cabin cooling.

Key Features

• Angle valve design for A/C refrigerant metering
• Separates suction and discharge sides of the system
• Helps maintain proper evaporator heat exchange
• Built for OE-style fitment on select Honda, Toyota, and Mitsubishi applications
• Part number 475-2011 for easy identification

Product Details

Denso’s New Expansion Valve line focuses on precise refrigerant control for automotive HVAC systems. This valve meters liquid refrigerant into the evaporator so the system can absorb heat efficiently without overfeeding the core. When the valve calibration is off, the evaporator can lose cooling performance or freeze, which can lead to additional A/C system damage. This part cross-references Four Seasons 38631 for the same application.

Compatible With 1992-1993 Honda Accord, N/A; 1985-1986 Toyota Celica, N/A; 1994-1996 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, N/A; and 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage, N/A. The Denso 475-2011 is also referenced by OE and aftermarket numbers used across select Asian vehicle HVAC service applications.

Common A/C Problems This Part Addresses

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Evaporator icing or freeze-up
• Improper refrigerant metering through the evaporator
• Reduced heat exchange in the A/C system
• HVAC performance issues tied to a worn or incorrect expansion valve

Installation Notes

Verify the valve style and vehicle application before installation. This unit is an angle valve, so matching the original configuration matters for proper refrigerant control and system operation. Inspect the A/C system for contamination, leaks, and related wear before replacing the expansion valve, and confirm the correct fitment for your Honda Accord, Toyota Celica, Mitsubishi Mirage, or Mitsubishi Mighty Max application.

Quality Assurance

Denso draws on decades of OE component and system engineering for automakers worldwide. That background supports accurate expansion device calibration and dependable A/C service performance on the specified applications.
