TAKEING THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE TXV

The thermostatic expansion valve has been considered by some to be a mysterious and complex device.
As a result, many valves are needlessly replaced when the cause of the system malfunction is not immediately recognized.
Actually the thermostatic expansion valve performs only one very simple function. –it keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerants to satisfy all load conditions.
It is not a temperature control, suction pressure control, or a humidity control. The refrigeration system can be defined as a closed system in which the process of absorbing and rejecting heat is performed by flowing a refrigerant in a vapor compression cycle. In its simplest form, the refrigeration system consists of five components: the compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, and interconnecting piping. The thermostatic expansion valve, TEV, controls the flow of liquid refrigerant entering the direct expansion, DX, evaporator by maintaining a constant superheat of the refrigerant vapor at the outlet of the evaporator. Superheat is the difference between the refrigerant vapor temperature and its saturation temperature. To measure the superheat is the difference between the actual temperature at the sensing bulb or near the compressor and the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure. The major components of the TXV • A sensing bulb, connected by a length of capillary tubing, transmits bulb pressure to the top of the valve’s • Diaphragm, all three, cap. Tube, sensing bulb and diaphragm are referred to as, • Thermostatic element, the diaphragm motion is transmitted to the, • Pin and pin carrier assembly by one or two, • Pushrods, allowing the pin to move in and out of the valve port. • The superheat spring located under the pin carrier, set in by a spring guide. There are THREE fundamental pressures acting on the valve’s diaphragm, • P1

    The above picture shows an example for a typical turbo-compressor type air cycle machine. In this system the turbine and the compressor connected by a shaft it is supported by bearings. It means turbine driving a centrifugal compressor. The over view of this system is compressor receiving air through a pre cooler (primary heat exchanger) and there is another heat exchanger in between compressor and turbine it call inter cooler (secondary heat exchanger). Those heat exchangers are open to a ram air inlet from that it cools the air in the heat exchanger. The way it works is the bleed air from the engine first enter to the pre cooler then it moves to the compressor section. In compressor the air passing through the diffuser ring. It will increase the temperature and energy in air. Again its go through the inter cooler and it’s enter to the turbine. In the turbine the air directed to the…

    The air conditioner relys on the compressor to pump refrigerant through the system in order to provide cold air. When the compressor fails, the choices are to replace it or install a new air conditioning installation. Unless the system is fairly new, or still under warranty, replacement of the system is often the best…

    A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element. The thermal mass and conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element. All heat detectors have this thermal lag. Heat detectors have two main classifications of operation, "rate-of-rise" and "fixed temperature."…

    It is described in Fig-4. Ambient air is sensibly cooled in two heat exchangers consecutively (2-3, 3-4) after dehumidification (1-2). Air is mixed with return air (4-5) and sensibly cooled in cooling coil by exchanging heat with cold water from cooling tower (5-6). It is then divided into two parts. One part is supplied to the conditioned space as supply air while the other part is further cooled in cooling tower (6-8) and supplied to the heat exchanger and finally exhausted (8-9). Desiccant wheel is regenerated by ambient air. In this cycle, there is provision of fresh air inlet to the conditioned space.…

    Firstly , the piston is moved to the appropriate position when the volume is set . Next , when the operating button is pressed to the first stop , the piston is expelled the same volume of air as indicated on the volume setting . After immersing the tip into the liquid , the operating button is released. It is usually used for applications like DNA amplification techniques . When the operating button is pressed to the stop , the piston descends to the tip opening . After the tip is immersed into the liquid , the operating button is released . The plunger is then raised and a partial vacuum is created . This causes the liquid to enter the tip . When the operating button is pressed again , the piston descends , expelling the liquid from the tip.…
