Denso 475-2097 A/C Expansion Valve

Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2097

Denso 475-2097 is a block-style A/C expansion valve that regulates refrigerant flow between the high- and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. It is built for precise evaporator control, helping maintain stable cooling performance in vehicles such as the Dodge Journey and Jeep Wrangler.

The Denso New Expansion Valve line focuses on correct calibration for the application, which is critical for proper evaporator heat exchange. When the valve is out of spec, the system can lose cooling efficiency or allow the evaporator to freeze, creating conditions that can lead to additional A/C damage.

Key Features

• Block valve design for automotive A/C refrigerant metering
• Controls liquid refrigerant flow through the evaporator
• Supports proper separation of suction and discharge sides
• Application-specific calibration for OE-style system function
• Direct replacement for select Dodge Journey and Jeep Wrangler models
• Part number 475-2097 for catalog and cross-reference lookup
