The York S1-031-01251-000 Defrost Control Board is a part of heat pump systems its function is to regulate the activity of defrosting to provide optimal performance in colder climates. This control board is monitoring a number of sensors to locate any of the frost build up on the outside coil. Frost changes the board state to a defrost cycle which lasts for a short time, interrupting heat pump operations to melt the frost that threatens efficiency and heat transfer. This procedure helps in eliminating ice formation hence reducing on its effect on the heat pump so that it uses more energy.
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 ...
