A thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) is a crucial component in vapor-compression refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Its primary function is to regulate the amount of refrigerant released into the evaporator, ensuring efficient cooling and preventing the evaporator from flooding with liquid refrigerant.

The TXV controls the flow of refrigerant based on the temperature and pressure at the evaporator outlet, a process known as superheat regulation. It consists of several key parts:

• Diaphragm: Responds to pressure changes.
• Power Element: Contains a sensing bulb filled with a fluid that reacts to temperature changes.
• Setting Spring: Provides a counteracting force to the diaphragm.
• Orifice: The opening through which refrigerant flows.

Three main forces influence the TXV’s operation:

1. Bulb Pressure: Generated by the sensing bulb, which detects the evaporator outlet temperature.
2. Spring Pressure: Calibrated to provide a constant force.
3. Evaporator Pressure: Varies with the load on the evaporator.
