Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) is designed to regulate the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator based on the cooling load. When the load increases, the TXV opens further to increase the flow of refrigerant to meet the higher cooling demand.

When the Load on the Evaporator Increases, the TXV ____
