EXPANSION VALVE FOR A REFRIGERANT SYSTEM

摘要

A refrigerant expansion valve for a refrigerant system includes a main body, a motor and first and second members. The main body has a refrigerant flow passage that extends therethrough. The first and second members are connected together and are configured with threads that have a different pitch to allow for relative movement between both members and the main body. The motor is positioned adjacent the main body and is coupled to the first member. The motor actuates the first member in response to control signals to move the second member within the main body to modulate the flow of refrigerant through the refrigerant flow passage.
