🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion valve (TXV) control – how it maintains superheat at the evaporator outlet • Effect on evaporator pressure and temperature when the compressor stops • Balance of bulb pressure, evaporator (equalizer) pressure, and spring force inside a TXV

💭 Think About

• When the compressor cycles off, what happens to the suction pressure in the evaporator and line: does it rise, fall, or stay the same? How would that affect the TXV? • Is the TXV designed to snap fully open/closed, or to modulate based on changing forces acting on its diaphragm? • Think about what the TXV is trying to control (superheat). When flow demand suddenly changes, does the valve ignore its control purpose or continue responding to its control forces?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that a TXV is a modulating control valve, not a simple on/off valve • Consider how the power element bulb temperature and evaporator pressure change when refrigerant flow stops or slows • Confirm whether there is usually a minimum opening or seating behavior designed into TXVs for compressor off-cycles
