Where is the expansion valve installed on the Jaguar XJL?
1 Answers
The expansion valve of the Jaguar XJL is generally installed at the inlet of the evaporator. Precautions for installing the expansion valve: The expansion valve is a type of throttling device that can regulate the flow of refrigerant and must be installed before the inlet of the evaporator. In refrigeration systems that use an expansion valve, a liquid receiver-drier must be installed between the condenser outlet and the expansion valve. Composition and function of the expansion valve: The expansion valve roughly consists of three parts: the valve body, the temperature sensing bulb, and the equalizing tube. It has the function of throttling and pressure reduction. Before the refrigerant enters the evaporator, the medium-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid is transformed into a low-temperature, low-pressure wet vapor. The refrigerant then absorbs heat in the evaporator to achieve the refrigeration effect. At the same time, it prevents the compressor from experiencing liquid slugging and abnormal overheating of the evaporator or vapor outlet.
