Question 1 of 2066636eee28f7522a1c51f498

Thermostatic expansion valves come factory set with a certain value of superheat setting. When installing a new valve in the field, conditions may cause the actual superheat to deviate from the factory setting. Which statement about checking the setting a newly installed thermostatic expansion valve is correct?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Superheat in a refrigeration system (what it is and why it matters for TXV operation) • How to determine actual superheat using temperature and pressure at the evaporator outlet • The type of instruments normally used to read suction pressure and line temperature on refrigeration systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: To check a TXV’s superheat setting, what two physical quantities do you actually have to measure at the evaporator outlet? • Think about where superheat occurs: Is it measured in the box (space) temperature, or in the refrigerant line leaving the evaporator? • Which of these answer choices gives you the tools needed to convert a pressure reading into a saturation temperature so you can compare it with the actual line temperature?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the method allows you to compare measured line temperature with saturation temperature derived from suction pressure. • Check whether the tools mentioned can directly measure suction pressure in the refrigerant line, not just box temperature or electronics status. • Confirm that the option you choose would be standard practice for field service on marine refrigeration systems.
