Internal vs. Externally Equalized Valves - Short 106
In this short podcast episode, Bryan compares internal and externally equalized valves. He also covers how forces act upon the TXV.
Equalization does not happen on the off cycle. When we talk about equalization, we are merely talking about a force that balances against the bulb force. A TXV sets the superheat within an operating range at the evaporator outlet; the sensing bulb on the TXV detects temperature and pressure at the evaporator outlet. So, those readings apply an opening force to the bulb. (Think of this process as being quite similar to you measuring the superheat and suction…
