Abstract
Systems and methods for disrupting a flow of refrigerant within a heat exchanger assembly. One embodiment provides a method that includes receiving, with a controller, a first signal from a first sensor, the first signal indicative of a pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the heat exchanger. The method includes setting, with the controller, an operating frequency of a valve based on the first signal. The operating frequency includes a rate at which the valve actuates between a first valve position that sets a first refrigerant flow rate through the heat exchanger and a second valve position that sets a second refrigerant flow rate through the heat exchanger. The method includes controlling, with the controller, operation of a solenoid to actuate the valve at the operating frequency.
