Thermal Expansion Valve is a type of metering device which is one of the separation points between the high and low pressure sides of an air conditioning system (the other being the compressor). It depressurises the liquid refrigerant which passes through it, ensuring that low pressure liquid refrigerant is passed on to the evaporator.

Will the Evaporator Pressor Regulating valve close if the Thermostatic Expansion Valve is in the evaporator air stream?
The EPR valve should work reguardless of if the TXV is in the air stream. The TXV in the airflow shouldn't make it act any different since it is sensing the temperature at the bulb instead of at the valve it's self.
What should it cost to replace a txv condenser in a Trane?
typical prices are from $725-$1500 for thermostatic expansion valve replacement
When a TXV powerhead looses its charge what happens?
The Txv usaully will not let any flow though valve causing low side to pump down or go off on low pressure. Because it is the charge that opens the diaphragm/valve against the spring pressuse (keeps the valve closed) of the TXV, an absense of the charge will allow the spring pressure to keep the valve closed; consequently starving the evaporator coil of a saturated vapor, until the system pulls down into a vacuum. If the system is equiped with a low side pressure switch, the system should go off on low pressure.
Is a dx coil on an ac system another term for tx valve coil?
A dx or direct expansion coil describes a type of heat exchanger. (As compared to chilled water.) The tx valve regulates the refrigerant. Systems without a txv will have a fixed orifice. The txv is generally more efficient than a fixed orifice.
Where is the expansion valve for a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo located?
If it's a TXV system, it'll be located between the receiver-drier and the evaporator.
What is the meaning of starved evaporator coil?
It could be restriction or low charge. Meaning you could have a bad txv valve or not enough refrigerant in the system.
What is the different between exv and txv?
Difference between txv and exv.
What metering device is the most efficient for heat pumps?
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV, TEV). Any high efficient system requires one.
Where is the orfice tube on a 2000 peterbilt?
Are you sure it has a fixed orifice tube system? Most heavy duty trucks use a Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) system. In both systems, the metering device (orifice tube or TXV) is located between the condenser outlet and the evaporator inlet.
What is the purpose of the external equalizer on a TXV?
The purpose of the External equalizer on the TXV is to compensate for the pressure drop in the evaporator coil , This is done since the superheat calculation is based on the difference in the Saturation temperature corresponding to the Suction pressure (Measured after the coil) and the actual suction line temperature. Now, in a TXV measurement of actual line temperature is accomplished by using the Sensing Bulb and the Measurement of the Suction pressure by the External Equalizer of the TXV. The opening/Closing of the Expansion valve is controlled by the setting of the superheat which is governed by the setting of the Spring.
Effect of moisture on thermostatic expansion valve?
None, a TXV operates by it's sensing bulb sensing superheat of the suction line as it exits the evaporator coil.
How do you change 97 Nissan sentra ac expansion valve and where is located?
The TXV will be located on low pressure side somewhere between compressor and condensor You need to recover the frion from system before servicing the TXV Tip: The compressor is belt driven off the engine and has 2 hoses leadind to it
