Abstract
A method for controlling a climate control circuit includes detecting one or more operating parameters of an evaporator expansion valve ('EXV') in the climate control circuit, and determining operation stability of the EXV based on the one or more operating parameters of the EXV. The method also includes opening a bypass pathway in response to determining the operation of the EXV is unstable, the bypass pathway includes an intermediate heat exchanger and a second expansion valve disposed in parallel with the first expansion valve, such that the intermediate heat exchanger cools a first portion of the working fluid flowing into the EXV using a second portion of the working fluid. A climate control system includes a climate control circuit, one or more sensors for the climate control circuit, and a climate controller to control the climate control circuit based on stability of an EXV in the climate control circuit.
