  • Page 62: Important Refrigeration Components

    Important Refrigeration Components Thermal Expansion Valve The refrigerant circuit has an adjustable Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV). The TXV is factory adjusted to their normal rating. Any field adjustment should be to “fine tune” a system that has stabilized and already has acceptable operating parameters. Adjusting a TXV to produce large swings in superheat is not recommended.
  • Page 63: Liquid Line Solenoid Valve (Optional)

    Liquid Line Solenoid Valve (Optional) The primary purpose of a solenoid valve in a refrigerant liquid line is to helps prevent refrigerant migration (i.e., flow into the evaporator) during the OFF cycle. The Liquid Line Solenoid Valve(s) (LLVS) are a direct acting, NC (normally closed; i.e. closed when deenergized) solenoid operated valve(s). The advantage is the valve is closed when the system is not running and when the solenoid valve is not energized.
  • Page 64: Glycol Systems

    Brazed-Plate Condensers Data Aire water cooled units use brazed-plate condensers as a standard. Brazed-plate condensers are constructed of plates brazed together to form an assembly of separate channels. Refrigerant is confined to the space between the welded plates and is exposed to gaskets only at the ports. Such condensers have a higher range of capacity.
