Refrigerant enters a direct expansion evaporator as a saturated liquid vapor mix and leaves as a superheated vapor.
In dray expansion evaporator, the liquid refrigerant is generally fed by an expansion valve. the expansion valve controls the rate of flow of refrigerant to the evaporator. In the evaporator the liquid refrigerant is vaporized and superheated by the time it reaches to the end of evaporator. At inlet of the evaporator, the refrigerant is predominantly in the liquid form with a small amount of vapor formed as a result of flashing at the expansion valve. the liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator, more and more refrigerant is vaporized by the load. according to the load, the liquid will come into evaporator and vaporize and reaches to superheat at the end of the evaporator. The inside of the evaporator is far from dry but wetted with liquid so named as dry expansion evaporator.
Condesor- cools the liquid formed gas after compressor compresses. After condensor it pass through the expansion valve, then again liquid formed gas expanses to gas form and produses cooling .this cooled gas then passes through the evaporator coils
flooded type cooler is a cooler that is being flooded while direct expansion type is a type that is being directly expanded.
I'm just a student of HVACR and I think a lack of refrigerant will be indicated by a warm an evaporator or the outlet end of the evaporator.
Heat Capacity Ratio "C" is Zero for both Condensor & Evaporator
The expected temperature drop through a direct-expansion evaporator coil is 20°F. The evaporator coil became clogged during the adjustment period.
Evaporator is said to be flooded type if liquid refrigerant covers the entire heat transfer surface. This type of evaporator uses a float type of expansion valve. An evaporator is called dry type when a portion of the evaporator is used for superheating the refrigerant vapour after its evaporation.

You must remove the evaporator case from behind the glovebox and disassemble it. The expansion valve is mounted to the evaporator.
It is attached to the back wall of evaporator. You have to remove the glove compartment, blower unit and evaporator to get access to the expansion valve.
The expansion valve is located in the lines connecting the evaporator core which is located inside the evaporator housing behind the dash and the glove box.
the expansion valve is connected to the evaporator under the dash, have fun!!!
its on the side of the evaporator, back of bulkhead
Do you mean the expansion valve for the A/C? That is near the evaporator under the dashboard.
The orfice tube is located in the evaporator inlet tube. There is also an expansion valve in the rear evaporator case.
It doesn't have an orifice tube. It has an expansion valve that is located inside of the evaporator box. The evaporator assembly will have to be removed and taken apart to replace the expansion valve.
Book time for the evaporator is 2 hours, follow the a.c. lines to the fire wall and under the dash on that side attatched to the evaporator will be your expansion valve.
