Electric Expansion Valve (EEV) Operation and Testing! HVAC Metering Device Training!
In this HVAC Training Video, I Show how the Electric Expansion Valve (EEV) Functions, Common Problems, and Testing. Knowing the Operation of an EEV allows the Technician to have a Better Understanding during the Troubleshooting of Problems. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.
(Audio Only) In today's podcast, Bryan and Jamie Kitchen talk about the electronic expansion valves (EEV). Bryan and Jamie describe how EEVs work and the reason they exist. In the process, the hosts also review a wide range of metering devices. We made this podcast to address the rising demand for EEVs in the aftermarket element of the HVAC business.
Like the TXV, the EEV is a metering device. Metering devices create a pressure drop as refrigerant moves from the liquid line to the evaporator. Traditional refrigerators typically use capillary tube metering devices because they require a constant temperature and operate in a fixed temperature environment. However, TXVs are a bit more variable but open linearly and are dictated by a minimum stable superheat value. EEVs are also variable, but they can influence the superheat more directly; The superheat always exceeds the minimum stable superheat. Therefore, EEVs can increase efficiency by reducing the evaporator temperature and compression ratio by increasing saturation temperature.
Even though EEVs dominate the grocery refrigeration market because of their head pressure control, we can use them in residential HVAC too. The EEV controls superheat more precisely than a TXV, and their algorithms can maximize efficiency and fill the evaporator coil with the most refrigerant possible.
There are two types of EEVs: the pulse-width EEV and the stepper motor EEV. The stepper motor has “steps” to modulate the degree to which it opens or closes. The pulse-width EEV either opens or closes, much like a solenoid valve.
