Thank you for the video. Good explanation about EEV operation. P. S. These EEVs might be a very precise tool to control SuperHeat. However, it’s not as reliable as a TXV. Last year, I had 2 HeatCraft walk-in freezers at Baskin-Robbins restaurants that were acting crazy, flooding the condenser, cooling poorly. One compressor that was only 4 years old has died. Had several calls to HeatCraft tech support; adjusting the SuperHeat reading/calibration on the control board, replacing sensors…. Long story short, after a month of giggle-wiggle I’ve got rid of these electronic controls and EEVs. Installed TXV, defrost timer and regular mechanical thermostats… It’s been almost a year now. Both customers are happy with -5F; -7F. No complaints. Today, I ran into another walk-in cooler from HeatCraft. This one is a big evaporator with EEV and… it’s acting the same way as those small walk-in freezers were doing; SuoerHeat hunting, flooding the condenser, suction line saturation temperature goes from ~24F to 2.1F in a minute or two… and goes back to -22F… Again, I will try to repmm m Ave the SuperHeat sensor as it was suggested by HeatCraft tech support…. However, I’ve got a feeling that it will end up with another TXV.

Hey there!

I mean, you have some videos but it would be interesting to see a bit more above basic leverl topics in terms of your awesome explanations!
EXCELLENT INFORMATIVE VIDEO. GOD BLESS YOU. I V ONE QUESTION...WHAT IS MIN FLOW OF REFRIGERANT FOR RUNNING COMPRESSOR? HOW THIS IS ADJUSTED IN CONTROLLER?
Hey paul, could you please make videos on Suction and discharge superheat?? Your videos are way more detailed than any other videos available in Internet. I hope you this message.
Working with the danfoss ETS 6 EEV valve. The wiring harness has five wires. Red, black, orange, yellow, and gray. I assumed the gray was common. But the gray wire is not connected to the controller. The tech support team at danfoss told me they don't use the gray wire for a unipolar valve. How do they send current to the coils without a common? Is it built into the controller?
I believe main saving comes from operating valve so minimal super heat is achieved more precisely. Additionally because they can also use pressure sensors, they can estimate super heat much more precisely. Together with PID controller and autotune, they can maintain more stable super heat temperatures, without cycling or overshoots. Additionally they can act like a solenoid valve sometimes, to shut refrigerant off, eliminating parts; as well allow multiple evaporators to cooperate and optimize operation; other option is to cooperate with compressor, both to prevent compressor flooding and by providing easier start to compressor. Additionally most controllers can detect failure of the electronic coil or the valve (stuck position) by measuring current or resistance, and send a signal to other place to shut off the system, and even pump down refrigerant from the system to a reservoir, and prevent system leaks (on stuck / broken valve, or when the sensors detect very abnormal performance). So some of the savings are in reduction in maintenance and preventing various failures too. And because they are electronic and do have controller, they can be managed and monitored remotely, helping with troubleshooting, maintenance and optimization. Some of these features are not due to the valve itself, but due to better insight into system due additional sensors already in place to support the valve. Some of the electronic expansion valves are used for other purposes than just super heat control after evaporator. Some are just used as normal valves to control pressure, i.e. after the condenser or various by pass systems. They are quite versatile. Plus they are easy to adjust electronically, if the refrigerant type is changed in a system.
With EEV, inverter units: compressor, ID and OD fans can all ramp down to about 20% , meanwhile maintaining optional superheat and subcooling. EEV greatly aids these happening, And also reduce the need for defrost cycle
Professor, if you could please explain to us a video about the closed electric expansion valve, which carries the model EX7-121 from the working company Amrison, the method of connecting it to the driver, its maintenance, and its problems. I thank you for your cooperation. We greatly appreciate it.
Gracias por la explicación, estuvo excelente. Una pregunta. Es igual la la válvula de expansión en un Digital Inverter que un Inverter, en su controlador??
Hey. Thanks for the really informative video. Let’s say I want to place a refrigerant tank in my schematic. As the mass flow rate of the refrigerant can vary a lot (from lowest rating to highest rating) let’s say from few grams per second up to kilograms per second. Is that even possible? If so, I assume there should be a tank placed somewhere. Where would it be? Thanks !
EEV systems have variable speed compressor, that is, low cooling loads make the valve close down to keep the required superheat once the evaporator becomes cold and this tells the compressor to "unload" reducing head pressure, and vice versa. The AC system in my car works exactly like this even though it has a TXV and not an EEV. As soon as the TXV begins closing down to keep superheat constant even with a cold evaporator, a valve in the compressor senses the decreasing suction pressure and "unloads" the compressor. You distinctly hear the refrigerant flow reduce to a trickle and the compressor noise change after some seconds as the evaporator gets cold, if you hold an ear under the evaporator box...
Did I get it right, that the expansion valve uses pressure losses in order to reduce or increase massflow, so as a result the transfered heat to the ambient air is reduced or increased? Because if the area the fluid is flowing through is reduced, friction and therefor pressure losses increases.
When I install a new EEV into the air con, should we need to set again,the zero point of the step motor for the main processor know how far motor goes ?
Nice video indeed! How does the EEV work with a system where you have 4-way valve to turn evaporator to condenser and vice versa? Heat pumps with heating and cooling..
Hi Paul, great video! Just one clarification: How this operation stops when the set temperature is achieved?. Means How is it collaborated with the thermostat operation. ? Anybody please reply.
All refrigeration systems that use EEV's are computer controlled and have several sensors in the system. They also have a set "swing". For instance a multideck supermarket fresh meat case may drop down to 24F. This will close the stepper EEV valve or the pulse EEV valve which ever is being used. As soon as the valve closes the temperature starts to rise. The valve starts to reopen when the temp reaches 35F or so. That's the swing. The time between opening and closing of the EEV valve.
As for as my knowledge, as a certain temperature reached, the EEV will close the refrigerant and your machine will stop. as the temperature rise machine will start but the EEV still will close until the suction press drop. Then the EER will open gradually.
What a great presentation! But I fail to understand how this stepper motor driven device can produce more accurate results and more economical operation than a correctly installed and sized txv that has infinite control positioning. It appeared to me that the device would operate on predetermined levels, be it 10, or 100, I am unsure about that
Stepper motor EEVs usually have 200...3000+ control steps. In laboratory you can see the difference between 240 steps & 480 steps, to see the difference 480 vs 2400 you need very precise tools. In real practice you see no difference in EEV capacity regulation with true infinite capacity regulation. More accurate SH regulation achivied due to electronic control of the valve - faster reaction + "proactive" PID controller vs "reactive" mechanical control. P.S. Even PWM EEVs like Danfoss AKV or Alco EX2 are OK for supermarket applications.
Even in case of HP EEV maintain superheat in evaporator (See "Heat Pumps Explained" at this channel). For reversing HPs it's a question of algorithm inside controller.
Hey my EEV looks completely different from the types you’ve shown, so then I’m having trouble visualizing how it works within my unit. It’s more like a rectangular tube with a plates on it. See EEV (USDM Denso) for 1993 FD3S.
Hard to say basing only on "its choking" but from that I would guess not enough refrigerant is either in the system or passing into the evaporator. Call a refrigeration engineer to inspect.
please i have a problem with EEV error but i do not known the particular indoor unit, the system is Samsung VRF once the come all the unit will not work all the remote will shoe error 151 please help me thanks
Still not sure why you would use pressure when it's not needed. If you attach a thermistor at the outlet of the EEV and one at the outlet of the evaporator is that not true super heat? Following the refrigeration cycle if the outlet of the metering device is lquid vapor mix, then the refrigerant can not be super heated or sub cooled, and unless it's a Bose Einstein then in must be at boiling point, and any heat added to the refrigerant on the outlet side of the evaporator would be super heated by it's very definition. So why use a pressure transducer and then have a module simply convert it back to temperature any way. It's just one more thing to leak.
The reason is pressure losses are not taken into account with thermistor in and outlet controls. The distributor has a pressure loss and the evaporator to, the bigger the total pressure loss the bigger the superheat calculation error based on 2 thermistors. With small systems without a distributor and low pressure losses over the evaporator 2 thermistor calculations work perfectly.
Remember that pressure changes much more rapidly than temperature does, so it's a much more precise way of controlling superheat (and compressor loading and unloading too).

Manufacturers use this junk because it is cheaper and you will have to come back to their greedy arses to purchase a special unique replacement part.
