Denso 475-2092 A/C Expansion Valve

Denso New Expansion Valve for A/C Flow Control

The Denso 475-2092 is a block-style A/C expansion valve that regulates refrigerant flow between the high- and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. For 2008-2012 Ford Escape and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner applications, it helps maintain proper evaporator performance and stable cabin cooling.

Denso’s New Expansion Valve line focuses on correct refrigerant metering for vehicle-specific HVAC systems. Accurate calibration matters because an expansion valve that is out of spec can reduce heat exchange at the evaporator or contribute to freeze-up conditions.

Key Features

• Part number 475-2092
• Block valve design for A/C refrigerant control
• Separates suction and discharge sides of the HVAC system
• Built for 2008-2012 Ford Escape and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner fitment
• OE-style replacement for A/C flow restriction service

Detailed Description

This Denso A/C expansion valve is used to meter liquid refrigerant into the evaporator so the system can absorb heat efficiently. It is a direct-fit service part for Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner models listed in the fitment data, making it a practical choice when diagnosing poor cooling, unstable vent temperatures, or evaporator icing concerns. The 475-2092 part number is also referenced in cross applications such as Four Seasons 39327.

As part of Denso’s New Expansion Valve product line, this component reflects the company’s experience supplying HVAC parts to automakers. The design supports proper refrigerant control in vehicle air conditioning systems where calibration is critical to consistent operation.

What It Helps Solve

• Weak or inconsistent A/C cooling
• Evaporator freeze-up from incorrect refrigerant metering
• Restricted refrigerant flow through the evaporator circuit
• Temperature swings at the vents
• HVAC performance issues tied to a worn or faulty expansion valve

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original valve style and vehicle application before installation. This part is listed as a block valve and is positioned in the HVAC refrigerant circuit, so the system should be properly evacuated and recharged after service. Inspect related A/C components, seals, and refrigerant condition during repair to help confirm the root cause of the cooling issue.

Quality Assurance

Denso manufactures expansion devices and orifice tubes as critical HVAC components for automotive air conditioning systems. The 475-2092 is built to support correct refrigerant control for the listed Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner applications.
