An expansion valve unit which prevents a temperature-sensing error from occurring due to transmission of a temperature lowered by the expansion of the refrigerant to a temperature-sensing chamber. An expansion valve unit is configured such that a high-pressure refrigerant guide groove is formed circumferentially in a body between a temperature-sensing chamber and a low-pressure refrigerant passage so as to guide a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the high-pressure refrigerant guide groove to a valve hole by way of a high-pressure refrigerant passage. By providing the high-pressure refrigerant guide groove, a heat conduction area for conducting heat from the temperature-sensing chamber to the low-pressure refrigerant passage is reduced, and the high-pressure refrigerant guide groove, which is supplied with the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant and hence always heated to a high temperature, thermally insulates the temperature-sensing chamber from the low-pressure refrigerant passage. This prevents the temperature-sensing chamber from being adversely affected by the low temperature of the low-pressure refrigerant passage, thereby preventing occurrence of a temperature-sensing error.
