Global Parts 3411481 A/C Expansion Valve

Global Parts 3411481 A/C Expansion Valve

Global Parts 3411481 is an A/C expansion valve for the vehicle applications listed below. It regulates refrigerant flow before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity efficiently in Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and Mercury Milan models.

• Direct-fit A/C expansion valve for HVAC refrigerant control
• Fits 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, N/A
• Fits 2010-2012 Lincoln MKZ, N/A
• Fits 2010-2011 Mercury Milan, N/A
• Part number 3411481 for catalog and service matching

How It Works

This expansion valve meters refrigerant entering the evaporator, creating the pressure drop needed for heat absorption. On Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and Mercury Milan HVAC systems, correct refrigerant control helps the A/C system deliver stable vent temperatures and consistent cooling performance. Part number 3411481 is also referenced in service catalogs under OE-style interchange numbers for the same application.

This part cross-references DENSO Auto Parts 475-2091 and Four Seasons 39322 for the same application.

Common A/C Problems It May Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Improper refrigerant metering at the evaporator
• Temperature fluctuations from a restricted or worn valve
• A/C service issues after component replacement
• Reduced cooling efficiency in the HVAC system

Installation Notes

Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C service when the system is opened, then evacuate and recharge the system to the correct specification. Inspect related HVAC components, seals, and refrigerant lines for contamination or wear before returning the system to service.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube each time the A/C system is serviced to help maintain proper refrigerant control and evaporator performance.
