The air conditioner uses an electronic expansion valve to throttle. It is a type of throttling device that precisely controls the refrigerant flow by adjusting its opening in response to real-time cooling or heating demands. This helps in achieving better energy efficiency and more stable temperature control.
Here are the key functions of the electronic expansion valve:
1. By adjusting the valve opening, the electronic expansion valve regulates the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator, optimizing the cooling or heating performance;
2. The ability to precisely control refrigerant flow leads to reduced energy consumption as the system can respond dynamically to changes in load conditions;
3. The electronic expansion valve allows for smoother transitions between different operating states, reducing the chances of refrigerant surges or pressure spikes, thus enhancing system reliability.
