Expansion valve in refrigeration system

Have you ever thought about how your condenser refrigeration system works to keep your food cold and fresh? It’s all because of a tiny, yet somehow critical, component known as the expansion valve. In this article, we’ll explore what the expansion valve does within a refrigeration system, and why it’s important for maintaining constant chill in industrial spaces

Despite being a relatively small component, your refrigerator expansion valve has a large role. It’s a little like a gatekeeper that manages the flow of a special fluid known as refrigerant. As the refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, it expands and cools down. This chilled refrigerant is what cools the air in your fridge, and what keeps your food fresh.

How the expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant in your system

The expansion valve works similarly to a traffic cop guiding cars down a crowded street. It limits how much refrigerant can flow at once so the right amount of cold air is created inside the scroll refrigeration compressors. If the expansion valve fails to function as designed, the refrigerator can fail to chill as it should, a situation that may jeopardize the safety of food.
