Abstract
A noise-absorbing member is attached on a surface of a dashboard at a passenger compartment side of a vehicle. A diaphragm case member of a temperature sensitive element portion of an expansion valve is disposed near the noise-absorbing member to face the noise-absorbing member. Thus, when noise due to a vibration of a valve body of a valve body mechanism portion of the expansion valve is transmitted to a diaphragm for operating the valve body and is further transmitted to the diaphragm case member, the noise transmitted from the diaphragm case member can be effectively reduced by the noise-absorbing member.
