CO2 Electronic Expansion Valve

The main medium of CO2 EXV electronic expansion valve is R744. Generally used in assembly at the front-end of the evaporator (condenser).The CO2 EXV electronic expansion valve is one of the core components of the CO2 heat pump system.

Feature and benefits

Good performance

  • Smaller step angle and higher flow control accuracy
  • High performance, open valve pressure difference of more than 10.5MPa
  • Throttling is possible in both directions

High reliability

  • Using automotive grade electronic components, safe and reliable
  • Multi-dimensional evaluation and validation based on vibration, temperature and humidity

With integrated chip and more compact structure

Software design

  • With layered architecture design, comply with vehicle specifications
  • Precise control of small opening flow based on software compensation
  • Using UDS fault diagnosis processing system
Application

The main function is to throttle and depressurize the medium in the system so that the medium reaches a phase change, so as to carry out cold and hot exchange.

Operate
Basic principle

The suction superheat control system is composed of electronic expansion valve, pressure sensor, temperature sensor, controller, when working, the pressure sensor will evaporator outlet pressure P1, temperature sensor will compressor suction superheat transmission to the controller, the controller will signal processing, and then output instructions to act on the electronic expansion valve, the electronic expansion valve through the control of the stepper motor, the valve to the required position, to ensure the appropriate amount of liquid supply and suitable superheat.
