Global Parts A/C Expansion Valve 3411855

Global Parts part number 3411855 is an A/C expansion valve for select Kia applications. It meters refrigerant flow before the evaporator so the system can use cooling capacity efficiently, making it a direct-fit service part for common HVAC repairs.

Key Features

• Expansion valve/orifice tube style A/C flow restrictor
• Controls refrigerant flow before the evaporator
• Supports efficient evaporator cooling performance
• Recommended for service replacement during A/C repair
• Part number 3411855 for easy identification

Detailed Description

This Global Parts A/C expansion valve is built for HVAC service on 2007-2011 Kia Rondo, 2008-2010 Kia Magentis, 2008-2010 Kia Optima, 2009 Kia Spectra, and 2009 Kia Spectra5. By slowing refrigerant before it enters the evaporator, the valve helps the system manage refrigerant expansion and cooling output more effectively. This part cross-references UAC EX10298C for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Improper refrigerant metering through the evaporator circuit
• A/C performance loss after system service
• Restricted or inefficient refrigerant flow
• Need for a service replacement on Kia Rondo, Kia Optima, or Kia Spectra applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify vehicle fitment by year and model before installation.
• Replace the expansion valve/orifice tube during A/C system service as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Inspect the rest of the HVAC system for contamination or wear before reassembly.
• Confirm proper refrigerant charge and system operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this HVAC service component under part number 3411855 for select Kia vehicles. The manufacturer recommends replacing the expansion valve/orifice tube whenever the A/C system is serviced to maintain proper refrigerant control.
