Figure 1. A conventional thermostatic expansion valve (TXV or TEV) is controlled by springs, bellows, and push rods. (Graphics courtesy of Sporlan Valve Co.) The function of the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV or TEV) is to hold a constant evaporator superheat. When set and operating properly, the TXV will keep the evaporator active throughout its entire length.

The conventional TXV is controlled by springs, bellows, and push rods. (See Figure 1.) The spring force is a closing force on the TXV. The evaporator pressure, which acts under the thermostatic element's diaphragm, is also a closing force. An opening force is the remote bulb force, which acts on top of the thermostatic element's diaphragm.

There is also a liquid force from the liquid line, which acts on the face of the needle valve and has a tendency to open the valve. However, this force is cancelled out when using a balanced port TXV. Working together, these forces maintain a constant evaporator superheat in a refrigeration system. There are no electronic devices associated with a conventional TXV.

EEVs
The electronic expansion valve (EEV) operates with a much more sophisticated design. EEVs control the flow of refrigerant entering a direct expansion evaporator. They do this in response to signals sent to them by an electronic controller. A small motor is used to open and close the valve port. The motor is called a step or stepper motor. Step motors do not rotate continuously. They are controlled by an electronic controller and rotate a fraction of a revolution for each signal sent to them by the electronic controller. The step motor is driven by a gear train, which positions a pin in a port in which refrigerant flows. A cutaway of an EEV with step motor and drive assembly is shown in Figure 2.

Step motors can run at 200 steps per second and can return to their exact position very quickly. The controller remembers the number of step signals sent by the controller. This makes it possible for the controller to return the valve to any previous position at any time. This gives the valve very accurate control of refrigerant that flows through it. Most of these EEVs have 1,596 steps of control and each step is 0.0000783 inches.

Sensors
The electronic signals sent by the controller to the EEV are usually done by a thermistor connected to discharge airflow in the refrigerated case. A thermistor is nothing but a resistor that changes its resistance as its temperature changes. Other sensors are often located at the evaporator inlet and outlet to sense evaporator superheat. This protects the compressor from any liquid floodback under low superheat conditions.

Pressure transducers can also be wired to the controller for pressure/temperature and superheat control. Pressure transducers generally have three wires. Two wires supply power and the third is an output signal. Generally, as system pressure increases, the voltage sent out by the signal wire will increase. The controller uses this voltage to calculate the temperature of the refrigerant with the use of a pressure/temperature table programmed into the controller.

A combination of compressor floodback protection and the ability to maintain refrigerator case discharge air temperature set point control makes the EEV useful in many diverse applications. Some EEV controllers can also be programmed for custom control applications.

Figure 3. The feedback loop.

Feedback Loop
The controller may open the EEV too much and cause an overcooling condition. The sensors connected to the refrigeration system and wired to the controller will sense this overcooling condition and feed this information to the electronic controller and the EEV. This will cause the step motor to move in the closing direction and close the valve more. The feedback loop is shown in Figure 3.

HVACR INDUSTRY STORE

Electronically controlled electric valves have been accepted for years in larger applications, just as chillers have been, and have proven to add efficiency to the systems. The key to the increase in efficiency is due to their ability to control superheat to a low, stable setting. Since many chillers use

almost infinitely variable screw compressors, an expansion valve that has the ability to follow these radical changes in capacity is required. Traditionally, mechanical thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs) are normally rated from about 50 to 110 percent of nominal rating. This rating is based on relatively constant head pressure and liquid quality conditions. These valves may not allow efficient control of the chiller during low load or head pressure conditions.

The electric expansion valve (EXV) has the ability to follow load, in most cases, from about 5 to 115 percent of nominal load. In addition, flash gas in the liquid line is less damaging to the operation of the system because the relatively large port and large stroke of the EXV allows them to open wide, purge the flash gas, and then re-establish the desired superheat. The advantages of the EXV are clear, but since the valve is an electric component, it requires some form of electric or electronic control.

ELECTRONICS
Controllers for EXVs are becoming common and generally work in similar ways. Although electric, the EXV is still an expansion valve. As such, it should be used to control superheat. Controllers allow the EXV to do this by measuring the two components of superheat: pressure and temperature.

Standard calculations of superheat are all the same, whether done by a technician in the field or an electronic controller. The pressure in the suction line, just after the evaporator, is measured. This pressure is converted to a saturation temperature by the use of a pressure-temperature chart for the refrigerant used. This saturated temperature is compared with the actual temperature measured on the suction line, also near the outlet of the evaporator. The difference between these two temperatures is the operating superheat.

Figure 2. Click on the chart for an enlarged view.

SENSORS
The electronic controller (shown in a common installation in Figure 1) fulfills this same function by using electronic sensors.

The sensors involved are pressure transducers and temperature sensors. A pressure transducer is a small, sealed device that is often mounted onto a tap on the suction line. Most are supplied with a valve depressor feature so that they may be threaded onto a Schrader tap. They may then be removed for service without having to pump down and reclaim the system charge. The pressure transducer is normally a three-wire device, two for power and one for signal. The controller supplies the necessary power and reads the signal. This electrical signal is converted back to pressure by the controller, which stores an equation to do so. The equation is effective only for a specific brand and model of transducer, so replacements must be obtained from the manufacturer of the controller. This equation is then combined with a reference table or pressure temperature table stored in the controller for the system refrigerant. (Sporlan controllers are often equipped with three to five refrigerant tables so that they may be selected in the field. This feature allows one controller to be used in a number of applications and to be reconfigured if the system refrigerant is changed.) The temperature transducer, usually called a temperature sensor, is typically a device that varies resistance with temperature. There are a variety of types, NTC are negative temperature coefficient types and the resistance decreases with a rise in sensed temperature. Another common type is the positive temperature coefficient type (PTC). In the PTC the resistance rises with temperature increases. The actual temperature to resistance characteristic is also unique to a manufacturer and model and sensors are not interchangeable; replacements must also be obtained from the controller supplier. The resistance of the temperature sensor is converted to a temperature inside the controller and this is compared to the temperature calculated from the pressure reading and refrigerant table (Figure 2). Although complex to describe, the preceding calculations are straightforward and relatively easy to program into the controller. The difficult part of programming has to do with using this superheat information to modulate the valve position. (Although a number of EXV technologies have been used, step motors are being recognized as the most precise and reliable means of valve operation. The balance of this article is based on that type.) The instructions the controller uses to arrive at valve position and modulation are called the "algorithm" and are generally proprietary information to the controller manufacturer. However, each algorithm looks at operating superheat and compares it to the superheat set point chosen by the user. If the superheat is higher than desired, the controller steps the valve open by the number of steps calculated by the algorithm. If the superheat is low or flood back occurs, the valve is rapidly driven shut by the algorithm. Since the pressure and temperature sensors can react almost immediately to changes, the controller can follow, and in some cases predict changes in superheat quickly and react. This speed and accuracy allows the EXV-controller-sensor system to precisely, quickly, and reliably

control superheat to the most efficient setting under a wide set of loads and system conditions. The EXVs have no diaphragms and therefore no "gradient" or unpredictable variation in operation. Historically, when EXVs were applied, they were on stand-alone systems, they did not communicate with other parts of the system or attempt to control other functions. They have performed the duty well and, as time went on, more economically. The power of microprocessors or computer "chips" double every 18 months and most of our industry has been slow to take advantage of these possibilities. While standalone EXV systems now approach the installed cost of a mechanically-based TXV system, to only consider this type of control is shortsighted and wasteful.

Figure 3.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS
Most current applications at worst ignore and at best under-utilize the potential benefits that electronic control can bring. Our industry is one of temperature control and most aspects of design and service are based on, or strongly require, measurements of pressure and temperature.

By its very nature, the EXV must have sensors that gather and interpret these measurements. Since that data exists and is captured by the controller, doesn't it make sense to use that information as much as possible? This not only simplifies the system but also spreads the cost of the electronics and sensors over a wider range of features and system needs. For instance, condenser fans may be cycled to maintain head pressure and liquid subcooling. The need for subcooling affects system and expansion valve efficiency. What if the electronic controller (Figure 3) controls the condenser fans to ensure that the expansion valve is fed with the solid liquid it needs, while at the same time, allowing head pressure to float to the lowest possible level. Some controllers may be supplied with "stock" programs that offer a set group of features. Other controllers may be supplied with customer-specific programming tailored to the precise need of the customer. The technology of electronics allows for economical program updates and the addition of features even after system installation. The gains in system efficiency due to floating head pressure are well documented. The incremental cost of adding this feature to an EXV controller is low. Efficiency of refrigeration applications, particularly low-temperature installations, benefit from both lower head pressures and higher suction pressures. Since EXVs may be oversized without sacrificing control at low loads, extremely rapid pull downs after defrost or at startup may be realized by using large EXVs to saturate the evaporator when the load is highest.

A further benefit of the electronic controllers is the possibility to incorporate system diagnostics and remote communication. The controllers are equipped with a number of sensors, and algorithms that are under development that will use this information to signal, or even predict, system problems. Users may then be alerted to potential failures. In the near future we will likely see controllers that are Web-enabled. These devices can be monitored by the homeowner, contractor or electric utility to ensure efficiency and accuracy. For more information, go to www.sporlan.com. Publication date: 11/06/2006
