An expansion valve is a key component in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Its main role is to regulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, ensuring efficient cooling while protecting the system from damage.

Controls Refrigerant Flow
Regulates the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil.
Prevents flooding (too much refrigerant) or starvation (too little refrigerant).
Pressure Reduction
Lowers the high-pressure liquid refrigerant from the condenser into a low-pressure mixture before it enters the evaporator.
This sudden pressure drop causes part of the refrigerant to evaporate instantly, lowering its temperature.
