Summary

Both valves have been assembled to feed an air cooled evaporator connected to an experimental vapour compression plant with a water cooled condenser operating with a semihermetic compressor. The performances of the valves were examined under different conditions with R22 and with R407C. The final results of the study show an overall better performance of the electronic expansion valve compared with the thermostatic expansion valve under transient conditions while in steady-state conditions both the valves are equal in performance. These results apply to both R22 and R407C.
