Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2026
Denso 475-2026 is a block-style A/C expansion valve built to regulate refrigerant flow between the high- and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. For 2000-2005 Dodge Neon and 2000-2001 Plymouth Neon applications, correct calibration is important for stable evaporator performance and consistent cabin cooling.
The Denso New Expansion Valve line focuses on accurate refrigerant metering for vehicle HVAC systems. In this application, the block valve design helps control liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator so the system can exchange heat properly without overfeeding or starving the core.
Key Features
- Block valve design for A/C refrigerant control
- Regulates flow between suction and discharge sides of the system
- OE-focused HVAC component for precise evaporator operation
- Direct application for Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon models
- Part number 475-2026 for identification and ordering
Detailed Description
This Denso A/C expansion valve is engineered for vehicles that require accurate refrigerant metering at the evaporator inlet. When the valve calibration is correct, the evaporator can absorb heat efficiently and maintain proper system balance. Denso’s HVAC component experience supports the correct selection of an expansion device for the vehicle application, including 2000-2005 Dodge Neon and 2000-2001 Plymouth Neon models. This part cross-references Four Seasons 39062 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Weak or inconsistent air conditioning output
- Evaporator icing caused by incorrect refrigerant flow
- Improper pressure balance across the A/C system
- Poor heat exchange at the evaporator
- HVAC performance issues tied to a worn or inaccurate expansion valve
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, make, and model before installation. Inspect the A/C system for contamination, leaks, and related wear before replacing the valve. Proper evacuation, recharge, and system testing are important after service so the expansion valve can operate within the correct refrigerant range.
Quality Assurance
Denso supplies HVAC components with engineering experience developed through OE system work for automakers. Part number 475-2026 is built for the specified Neon applications and should be matched to the vehicle’s original A/C configuration before installation.
