The Lennox 46K67 Defrost Control Board is an essential part for heat pump systems. Intended for controlling the defrost cycle during cold climate, this board tracks system sensors for the amount of frost on the outside coil. When needed, it starts a defrost cycle, turning the heat pump around to melt frost, and assures that the system is operating at peak efficiency and that you get consistent heat. The 46K67 defrost control board is found in Lennox heat pump units to prevent ice formation that affects the airflow and reduces heating efficiency.
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 ...
