What will remain constant during operation when a properly adjusted thermostatic expansion valve exhibits stable operation without any appreciable hunting of the valve?
• Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) control point and sensing bulb location • Difference between superheat and subcooling in a refrigeration cycle • What "stable operation" and "no hunting" mean for a TXV’s control behavior
• Ask yourself: What exact temperature/pressure condition does the TXV sensing bulb monitor and try to keep steady? • Which part of the system is the TXV designed to control directly—the evaporator outlet, the condenser, the liquid line, or the compressor discharge? • When a TXV is properly adjusted and not hunting, what parameter at its sensing location should remain nearly unchanged even as load varies?
• Verify which option refers to outlet of the evaporator, where the sensing bulb is normally clamped • Check which terms describe superheat (vapor above saturation) versus subcooling (liquid below saturation) • Confirm which of the listed temperatures/conditions is the primary controlled variable of a TXV, not just an indirect effect elsewhere in the system
