Abstract
The expansion valve has an inlet connection fluidly connected to a main valve while the main valve is fluidly connected through an outlet connection to the inlet of the evaporator of a refrigeration system. The main valve has a housing that includes a main valve chamber and a valve seat for fluidly connecting the inlet connection to the main valve chamber and a valve member movable between an open position and blocking fluid flow through the valve seat from the inlet connection to the valve chamber. A pressure operated servo arrangement is disposed in the main valve chamber for controlling the movement of the valve element and opens to the pressure outlet of a pilot valve arrangement. The pilot valve arrangement is disposed in a branch path that opens to inlet connection and to the valve chamber downstream of the valve set for controlling the fluid pressure at the pressure outlet.
