Thermostatic expansion valves Structure and function
Thermostatic expansion valves
An alternative to thermostatic expansion valves are capillary tubes, although these are mainly used in refrigerator systems and simple, small refrigeration systems. The most important advantage of capillaries is the cost factor. The disadvantage is the inflexible regulation (or no regulation) of the injection into the
