The
MAHLE AVE95000S Expansion Valve and Orifice Tube is a vital part of any HVAC system, working to regulate refrigerant flow and maintain optimal cooling performance. Typically used in passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, it plays a key role in ensuring efficient heat exchange and reducing energy consumption. With its precise control over the orifice tube's diameter, this product delivers reliable performance.
AC expansion valves regulate refrigerant flow from the high-pressure liquid line to the evaporator core in vehicle air conditioning systems. These valves meter refrigerant based on evaporator superheat, ensuring optimal cooling performance and preventing liquid slugging. Common designs include thermal expansion (TXV) valves, utilizing a sensing bulb and capillary tube, and electronically controlled valves with stepper motors for precise adjustment. Operation relies on a pressure differential across the valve, controlled by temperature or electronic signals. Materials typically include corrosion-resistant brass, steel, or aluminum alloys, and valve orifice size is critical for system compatibility.
