The expansion valve is usually in the evaporator and simply opens or closes to allow the appropriate flow of refrigerant into the coil. The theory is that the expansion valve makes your AC run more efficiently.

Can air conditioner compressor on a 1999 dodge Dakota 5.2 liter be rebuilt?
No, it's best to buy a new factory unit but when your compressor goes bad you will also need to change the dryer,expansion valve and outside condenser unit as well, because of debris from the compressor. Some mechanics will try and flush the system or use air to blow out the debris but in the end the customer will be back with the same trouble again. It is possible to buy used compressor and o/s condenser but always buy new expansion valve and dryer and save a little money you just don't get a warranty.I have done this for over thirty years but I could be wrong, so do the job right and stay cool all summer.
