As that name would imply it controls an opening. It's located in the refrigerant line just before the point where the high pressure liquid flows into the evaporator. It's purpose is to manage the flow of refrigerant to keep the evaporator cold without icing. I suspect you are asking this question because you've been told by a shop that it needs to be replaced, but you're choking on the cost. Replacing it requires opening the refrigerant lines, which involves some special, and pricey, tools and equipment, not to mention knowledge and safety procedures, not usually available in a home garage. I count myself a fairly intrepid DIY'er, and have even done some of my own AC repair in the 70's, but I would take this one to a pro, or do without. Get a second opinion, maybe, because it could be something else, but don't just go for the lowball estimate unless it's from somebody with a sparkling reputation.
