AquaForte - Electronic Expansion Valve for Heat Pump 18 kW (SC985) - SC985B

AquaForte – Electronic Expansion Valve for Heat Pump 18 kW (SC985)

This is the genuine OEM electronic expansion valve (EEV) for the AquaForte Full Inverter Heat Pump 18 kW (model SC985), listed as position 46 in the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram. The EEV precisely meters refrigerant flow through the heat pump’s refrigeration circuit, which is essential for maintaining the high efficiency and reliable heating and cooling performance the SC985 is designed to deliver. Replacing a faulty valve with this exact genuine part ensures the unit operates as intended.

So funktioniert es

An electronic expansion valve regulates the pressure and flow rate of the refrigerant within the heat pump cycle, responding to signals from the unit’s electronic controller to open and close a needle valve with precision. This accurate control of refrigerant flow is especially critical in full-inverter heat pumps, where the compressor speed varies continuously — the EEV must match refrigerant delivery to the compressor’s output at every operating point to maintain the SC985’s COP of up to 14.5 and its wide modulation range of 20–100% capacity.

Kompatibilität

This replacement part is designed and sourced exclusively for the AquaForte Full Inverter Heat Pump 18 kW (SKU SC985). Before ordering, always cross-reference position 46 on the official Fluidra SC985 exploded-view parts diagram to confirm this is the correct component for your unit. It is not confirmed to fit any other AquaForte heat pump model.

Warum Echtheit zählt

The SC985 relies on precise refrigerant metering for its inverter compressor to perform efficiently. A non-genuine or mismatched expansion valve can cause poor superheat control, reduced COP, compressor stress, or system fault codes. Using the original Fluidra-sourced part preserves your warranty coverage and ensures the valve is fully compatible with the unit’s electronic control board and refrigerant circuit.
