(9) Expansion valve
Expansion valve (9) changes refrigerant of high pressure into refrigerant of low pressure. The high
temperature liquid is also changed into a liquid of low pressure. The expansion valve provides a metered
restriction. The metered restriction allows the high pressure liquid to be reduced to a vapor of low
pressure. The expansion valve also adjusts the supply of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator coil.

In order to fully exercise the evaporator coil, an adequate amount of liquid refrigerant must be supplied
to the evaporator coil. The cooling effect will decrease if the amount of refrigerant that is supplied to the
evaporator coil is inadequate. This is true because the liquid refrigerant vaporizes very quickly. On the
other hand, if the supplied amount is too great, the excess liquid refrigerant that could not vaporize
flows back to the compressor. Less cooling effect and a damaged compressor may result.
