EXPANSION VALVE (MRD-14-00372-21)

Expansion valves are a key component in refrigerated transport systems, responsible for regulating the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. By managing pressure and temperature, they ensure efficient cooling and reliable system operation.

• Regulating Refrigerant Flow: Expansion valves precisely control the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator, optimizing cooling efficiency.
• Creating a Pressure Drop: By lowering refrigerant pressure, the valve allows for expansion and heat absorption, which is essential for the cooling process.
• Maintaining Consistent Temperatures: Proper refrigerant flow helps prevent temperature fluctuations, ensuring the safe transport of perishable goods.
• Improving System Performance: Efficient refrigerant regulation reduces strain on the compressor, enhancing energy efficiency and prolonging the system’s lifespan.

In summary, expansion valves are crucial to refrigerated transport systems, ensuring controlled refrigerant flow, stable cooling performance, and overall system efficiency.
