AC Expansion Valve
HVAC systems utilize AC expansion valve to regulate the flow of refrigerant between the evaporator and condenser. It is responsible for maintaining a proper balance of refrigerant in the system, which is necessary for the system to function efficiently.
There are several types of HVAC expansion valves including capillary tubes, thermostatic expansion valves, and electronic expansion valves. Proper installation and maintenance of the expansion valve is important for ensuring the efficient operation of a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
Common issues that can arise with expansion valves include restricted flow, overheating, and failure to open or close properly.
Replacement of HVAC expansion valves is necessary when the component that regulates the flow of refrigerant between the evaporator and condenser becomes damaged or fails. It is important to have this repair performed promptly to avoid further damage to the air conditioning system.
