Expansion Valves are devices used to control the refrigerant flow in a refrigeration system. They help to facilitate the change of higher pressure of liquid refrigerant in the condensing unit to lower pressure gas refrigerant in the evaporator.
Types of Expansion Valves:
1. Thermostatic Expansion Valve
2. Automatic Expansion Valve
3. Electronic Expansion Valve
