I've heard that " clicking sound " so many times when starting up a newly installed minisplit but never knew that is was the metering device. These videos really give me an edge in the field.
this really helped me during replacement of 2.5hp LG compressor, i had to remove the EEV to create space after the workdone i fixed the EEV clockwise direction and the system couldn't discharge refrigerant i came across this content that helped me understood the magnetic force and i clipped the EEV in anticlockwise direction and it worked 💪 ❤❤❤ really grateful 🙏
I feel like I’m back in college studying electronics technology but with more hands on training. You would make a great professor at a university sir. Thanks for the free college classes. 👍
outdone yourself....I bought your manuals out of respect, going to gift my apprentice because real recognizes real and I cant explain like this...amazing job my friend
The cost engineering on these things is outstanding. I am a design engineer that has worked in various commercial and aerospace applications. We don't have the option to make ultra-high volume disposable units like this. It's actually hard to design this stuff to meet the cost and volume requirements. Very clever.
Fascinating... This explains the "rattle" on the old FloTronic EXV (Carrier) at start up when it drives closed for pump-out at start up. Same operation as these, just bigger. Glad you made this video!
One of the best EEV videos and explanations I’ve seen. -Certified Tech Support for Mitsubishi(DSG) and Fujitsu(TSA) VRF. Keep em coming! EEV’s are very reliable like you said, and if something fails, it’s most likely the coil. Mitsubishi makes a magnet that allows you to manually open/close. I can get you the PN if you are interested.
Just had to replace one of these EEV's on a Daikin at tech supports direction, and at the end of replacing it i still had almost no clue what it actually was. This vid came out the next day, lol thanks for your clear presentation. I bought your 1st book, and am eager to order this one as well! These minisplits are mysterious to me, and i dont necessarily like servicing them, but they definitely seem like the "way-of-the-future", so thanks for keeping us ahead of the curve!
@acservicetechchannel I work for fluid Chillers and I am pushing hard for us to have these on all of our Chillers especially our large low temperature Chillers. Controlling the superheat especially with large load swings is extremely important for efficiency and the life of the compressor.
I’m impressed dude. I wish I had more instructors like you and tech school. Although mine were pretty good down in Lawrence County Georgia- Gwinnett Tech. During initialization, I think it only seats it in one direction. The manufacturer knows how many pulses it takes to get to the other end.
Thanks for the wiring orientation. I made one up but did not have the specs on it as it was a 6 wire. Been able to successfully replicate the results here, many thanks from me
Hi, glad to get in touch with you. I work as an air conditioning technician for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Spain. I am pleased to inform you that I have developed a small tool to check the EEV of the different air conditioning equipment. Carrying out tests on devices for domestic, industrial, VRV and Aerothermal use of the previously mentioned brand and also domestic Hisense. These teams mount EEV from the manufacturers FUJIKOKI, SANHUA and SAGINOMIYA. With the device, the technician can verify three points that I consider important in the diagnosis of the element: - If the A/C equipment pcb transmits the signals to the EEV. - Measures the resistance of the EEV coils. - Finally, it can be opened - closed automatically, or manually select the number of opening or closing pulses. If you find it interesting, you could expand the information you consider appropriate. Greetings
Never power a solenoid coil without the core that it operates. Without the core it won't generate a back EMF and the coil will experience overcurrent and burn out.
To be fair he said that in his video he’s pretty smart and has helped me a lot in my career along with Bryan Orr and gray furnace man. Just a few more resources for you.
It’s not a solenoid coil it is the field windings of a small stepper motor. He did no damage to it as there are only small electrical pulses provided in order of the colored wires, that drive the motor in small increments.
Carrier had these on their flowtronic chillers. I had to replace two. They were very large, and made of brass. Pipes were 1 1/8” in and out. Ran on the same type of stepper motor, but used a lead screw to drive a slotted piston up and down. Two refrigerant circuits, 125 tons each. The chillers were an absolute service nightmare.
Whirlpool had this they might still have it on some of their french door refrigerators but five years ago they had this and we learned about training on it and one of the instructors he mentioned there was a filament that you can put up next to it and it'll show the magnetism. It was some special filament. I forget what it's called. Great video. Your new book that I purchased arrives Tuesday looking forward to it
Stepper motor valve. Very nice and precise. I would have thought there would be an encoder but going full out and in is good way to get a blind position unless there is something stuck (not sure if there is a situation that causes that)
@9:30 many use say 1500 pulses and even into the thousands to go from full closed to full open. The stepper motor driver can do 1/2 step or 1/4 step down to say 1/8 etc by applying pwm varied pulses to the next pole while the first pole is still energized to clock the magnetic field between the two and then trims the first coil pwm down until it finally clock's to the next field. So then it an take 100+ various steps to do one rotation and have more precise control. On my DIY I just do full step and it takes right about 255 pulses to go from closed to open.
Great explanation of the stepper motors in EEVs. And thank you for saying "negative"! Seems everyone these days says "plus" and "minus" when referring to DC polarity and yes, a pet peeve of mine. Positive and negative dammit! lol
320 pulses for full travel is a good resolution but if you had something a little bit less precise, there's always the method of "half steps" that you can use that's not that much more complicated. It will double your number of possible angles you can position your motor at.
Apparently the magnet in the vent and the coils outside form a rough stepper motor. It saves a relative expensive standard stepper motor (which could as well get magnetic coupled to the inside of the vent), but provides some sort of positioning control. A little DC-motor with an incremental encoder would be more expensive and its gearbox has more wear.
And of course if we use pwm signals we can split steps into microsteps of 1,8 degree divided by 256 ...so the valve can control the evaporator superheat with amazing precision.

Craig your brand is single-handedly changing the service industry for the good! Well done!
Thank you so much Tim and I'm looking forward to meeting you at the Symposium in a couple weeks!
Would this be transferable to the systems in the UK? For example, does it have both voltage differences and temperature differences?
How much torque do those tiny motors have?
*_It's a servo valve!!!_*
You my friend, are going down as one of the best HVAC teachers ever 👏🏼👏🏼
Agreed.
Absolutely brilliant video

Craig, your videos always stand out in content and clarity, many thanks for a new value
Thank you! I was going to buy a $200 eev magnet tool but now i know all i need is an eev coil head! 🌟
You make it easy to understand with your flawless explanation. God bless you.
This is the video I have been looking for for so long.

Sure thanks!! Also, thank you for your encouragement! info@acservicetech.com
This is great, had issues with them but it ended up being a faulty board. So helpful to see the guts in action
Was that voltage issue on a Daikin or Fujitsu by any chance?
Refrigeration side I see them on walk ins, it was an Intelligen by Heatcraft
Absolutely fantastic tutorial on the operation and how it actually works. Bravo Craig

During initialization, I think it only seats it in one direction. The manufacturer knows how many pulses it takes to get to the other end.
Excelent video. The best decription of function and principle EEV. Big thumbs up !!!
Thank you so much for making this video! This really helped me to understand how the EEV works and how to troubleshoot them.
Best Expansion Valve Video I have seen !
Amazing Detail !
Salute !
Just WOW! This is the level after professional, illuminating!
Блин это лучший канал по кондёрам!
Thank you for this great video. I always clicked "Thumbs Up" before watching any of your videos.
Thanks for the wiring orientation. I made one up but did not have the specs on it as it was a 6 wire. Been able to successfully replicate the results here, many thanks from me
Really good explanation on how these valves work. Thank you.

I did that once lol, looked away for a minute and the next it was smoking, this one isn’t an solenoid though, more like a motor
Great info. Craig. Thank you. Great video.👍👍👍👍👍
Great video , thanks for the knowledge!
From what I understood, it is a kind of specialised stepper motor!
Now I have to find an application for it!
Carrier had these on their flowtronic chillers. I had to replace two. They were very large, and made of brass. Pipes were 1 1/8” in and out. Ran on the same type of stepper motor, but used a lead screw to drive a slotted piston up and down. Two refrigerant circuits, 125 tons each. The chillers were an absolute service nightmare.

That was beautifully explained and presented. Thanks
so:this is like an electrical replacement for the mechanical valve known as the txv.l Very awesome video.
Ive been looking for this info for so long, thank you sir
Just bought the book. Awesome content
Thanks a lot!
Excellent video....excellent quality
love your channel!!!!!!
Thanks for the good information. I wish you all the best. Excellent video
Ubelievable video explaination!!!!! WELL DONE!!!! Good to had more than 2 same eev's.... 😁
Excellent video. So much information to learn, I love your videos.
Thank you sir
Have a great weekend 🎉
Super informative video , thanks for taking your time to help other people I really appreciate you doing this
thank you very sir for a clear explanation....

Absolutely awesome explanation
Very informative explanation, thanks
I'm biggest fan of yours sir 😘🇮🇳🙏
This was a great video! I'm gunna buy the book
Thanks for the educational video
Great video. Bravo 👏
Excellent Video
This is very much like how a stepper motor works.
it is a very useful training. thank you.
Very great explanation and practical Thankyou
Thanks Techman!

Great service video on these
Thanks that’s very helpful I’m not very familiar with mini splits. Love your videos 👍🏽
Great explanation of the stepper motors in EEVs. And thank you for saying "negative"! Seems everyone these days says "plus" and "minus" when referring to DC polarity and yes, a pet peeve of mine. Positive and negative dammit! lol
Really excellent tutorial. Bravo
Wow thats cool. It can turn the valve without touching it. It works like a stepping motor. 🤓
Absolutely, thanks!!!

Your videos are top tier
Good video ! 😎
Now there is a EEV Magnet from Johnstone Supply 👍
Great video, it helps me a lot, thanks!!
Great video Greg!
14:26 so what kind of insulation and tape is high recommended to prevent the rust out?
V good representation , thx alot 👍👍
Great video. Thank you.

💪🏽Appreciate the vids very informative ;You’re Making HVAC C00l Again 🤘🏽😎
Very niece explain sir .love you sir 😘🇮🇳
Very interesting as always.
Very good! Now i understood! Great!
Antonio, awesome, thanks!
like motor stepper how it works. use pulse DC for a better angle position. thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Informative video 👍
Thanks 🙂
Gracias amigo exelente explicacion.
This a great teacher
Trimakasih bos
And of course if we use pwm signals we can split steps into microsteps of 1,8 degree divided by 256 ...so the valve can control the evaporator superheat with amazing precision.
Excellent
Basically what Doing changing the polarity on DC Like on a call window To go up-and-down reverse positive and negative To the motor
Thanks 🙏 great info
I like the explanations.
Great video, thank you!!!!
Thanks mr...😊
Superb 😮😮😮😮
great video!
Great video
Can you use some dielectric grease between the coil and valve to prevent rust?
Could you use dielectric grease on the stainless body to help prevent the rusting ?
Do you have a book on vrf system with multiple wall mount cassette, ceiling cassette and slim duct?
Thank you
