The Rheem-Ruud 47-21776-86 Defrost Control Board Kit is a device that is required in frost control for some Rheem-Ruud furnaces. It is a circuit board assembly that regulates the defrosting process that helps to avoid formation of ice on the evaporator coil during cold climate operation. Here is how it works: In heating mode the evaporator coil takes heat from the outside air and brings cool air inside the furnace. Exterior air humidity can drip or freeze on the evaporator coil and cause the formation of frost. Such ice accumulation hampers the flow of air and hinders the ability of the furnace to pull out heat effectively.
How to install an expansion valve for refrigeration?
Thermostatic expansion valves are an integral part of your refrigeration unit. They are responsible for ensuring the right dosage of refrigerant is entering the cooling coil to ensure maximum efficiency in the air conditioning of the system.
These special expansion valves come with a temperature sensor that is mounted at the end of the evaporator coil. They incorporate signals from this sensor to maintain the required temperature of the HVAC system. The thermostatic expansion valve works like a precision device that can regulate the measurements of the liquid refrigerant that flows into the evaporator of your system. This regulation in the flow of the refrigerant is essential to prevent the reverse flow of the refrigerant into the compressor of your system.
Through this mechanism, the thermostatic expansion valve successfully separates the high and low pressure sides of the refrigeration/air conditioning system. The liquid refrigerant enters the expansion ...
