  • Page 18 R290 M thermal Arctic HT Series  Electronic expansion valve (EXV): To Control refrigerant flow and reduces refrigerant pressure.  Liquid resevoir: To hold excess fluid refrigerant when the system is in operation.  Plate heat exchanger: To transfer heat between two fluids. This has a major advantage over a conventional heat exchanger in that the fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids are spread out over the plates.
