EXPANSION VALVE AND FITTING STRUCTURE THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an expansion valve being excellent in the contact of outlet piping of an evaporator with a temperature sensing tube and of a low cost. SOLUTION: A temperature sensing portion 12 detecting the temperature of the outlet piping 18 of the evaporator is formed by bending the fore end of the temperature sensing tube 11 of the expansion valve at one place at least, and this portion 12 is fastened and fixed to the outlet piping 18 by a band 19. According to this constitution, the length of the temperature sensing portion 12 being in contact with the outlet piping 18 is enlarged and the area of the contact with the outlet piping 18 can be increased. Therefore a heat conducting member for increasing the contact area is dispensed with and the cost can be reduced.
