DAC Worldwide’s Heat Pump Reversing Valve Cutaway (373-505) is a professionally sectioned example of a four-way reversing valve used to switch a heat pump between heating and cooling operation.
A heat pump reversing valve changes the direction of refrigerant flow through the system. A pilot solenoid controls the pressure differential that moves the valve’s internal sliding mechanism, redirecting refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor coils.
A carefully planned cutaway of the four-way valve body reveals its internal flow paths, sliding mechanism, pilot valve components, refrigerant connections, and related operating features. Painted cutaway surfaces and color-coded components help learners identify the valve’s construction and visualize how refrigerant flow changes during operation.
The Heat Pump Reversing Valve Cutaway helps learners connect solenoid operation and pressure differential with the physical movement that changes the system’s refrigerant flow. Its exposed internal configuration supports instruction in heat pump heating and cooling cycles, component identification, system operation, and troubleshooting.
The full-size industrial component gives learners a direct view of a valve commonly encountered in residential, commercial, and light-industrial heat pump systems. It supports instructor-led demonstrations, small-group activities, and independent examination.
The cutaway is mounted on a formed-steel, powder-coated modular display panel suitable for tabletop use. It can also be used with compatible DAC Worldwide display fixtures, storage structures, and workstation products.
The equipment is cleaned, primed, and finished with a durable urethane coating for frequent classroom and laboratory use. Carefully selected cutaway areas expose the valve’s primary internal components while preserving their relationship and operating principles.
Pair the Heat Pump Reversing Valve Cutaway with additional DAC Worldwide HVAC/R cutaways to compare valve construction, refrigerant-flow control, operating principles, and system applications.
