Refrigeration expansion valve

Learning all about refrigeration expansion valves is essential in order to understand the workings of refrigerators. A refrigeration expansion valve is one of the smallest but the most important parts of a refrigeration system. It regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil. This coil draws heat from the air circulating within the fridge or freezer. Without the expansion valve, the refrigerant would flow too fast and the system wouldn’t function as desired. 

Why the expansion valve is a critical component in refrigeration systems?

The expansion valve is important in that it’s the part that helps regulate the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer. It measures the temperature of the refrigerant exiting the evaporator coil. If the system gets too hot, the valve opens to allow more refrigerant to pass. If it’s too cold, the Penguin  refrigeration expansion valve closes to restrict flow. This keeps the right temperature inside.
