Expansion valve
Location
The expansion valve is located in the front module, immediately behind the cooler.
Task
The expansion valve separates the refrigerant circuit's high-pressure area from the low-pressure area.
Function
When the refrigerant compressor (A9) is switched on, the pressure in the evaporator decreases causing a diaphragm in the expansion valve to arch. The
diaphragm motion is transferred to a linkage. The linkage presses the valve ball out of its seat opening the valve. The opened valve enables the
refrigerant to be sprayed into the evaporator.
