:)Hello Everyone,
I am involved in a study on reversing valves. Part of the study is to understand what happens to these valves over time. I was wondering how I would be able to get a couple of failed/broken valves that have been in operation for a number of years; (size does not matter). What I need to get is one of the common shaped valves that looks like a copper tube with one compressor outlet tube on top and the three remaining tubes in a line along the bottom. I also need one of the other shaped valves that are stocky with all the inputs and outputs radially spaced around the body. I need to cut these two valves open and try to understand the state of the seals within the valves.
I have tried a number of local companies that service refrigeration equipment but have been unsuccessful. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pasquale
