Denso 475-2108 A/C Expansion Valve

Denso New Expansion Valve 475-2108

Denso 475-2108 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 helps maintain proper evaporator performance in vehicles that require precise refrigerant metering, including Kia Sorento, Kia Soul, and Hyundai Santa Fe applications.

Key Features

• Block valve design for A/C refrigerant control
• Separates suction and discharge sides of the system
• Supports stable evaporator heat exchange
• Built for vehicle-specific HVAC calibration
• OE-style replacement for select Hyundai and Kia applications

Detailed Description

Denso’s New Expansion Valve line focuses on accurate refrigerant control for automotive HVAC systems. Part number 475-2108 is engineered as a block valve to meter liquid refrigerant through the evaporator at the correct rate, helping the system maintain consistent cooling performance. When expansion valve calibration is off, the evaporator can lose heat-transfer efficiency or freeze, which can lead to additional A/C system damage. This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE numbers 97626-2K000 for the same application.

Compatible With 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, 2010-2013 Kia Soul, and 2011-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. If you are searching for a Denso 475-2108 expansion valve for a Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe A/C repair, this part matches the listed vehicle applications.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Evaporator icing or freeze-up
• Incorrect refrigerant flow through the evaporator
• HVAC performance loss from a worn or miscalibrated valve
• A/C system damage related to improper expansion control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, and model before ordering, and confirm the existing valve style matches a block valve application. Replace the expansion valve only after the system has been properly evacuated and serviced according to A/C repair procedures. Cleanliness matters during HVAC service, so keep refrigerant circuit components free of contamination during installation.

Quality Assurance

Denso draws on decades of A/C system engineering experience supplying components to automakers. The 475-2108 expansion valve is built to meet the calibration demands of the listed Hyundai and Kia applications, supporting proper refrigerant control in the vehicle HVAC system.
