Teardown Tuesday Episode 31 - EEV Electronic Expansion Valve

Refrigeration systems need a way to control refrigerant flow and there are only a few options. last week we looked at a mechanical flow control device or TXV, this week we're looking at a way to control that flow electronically - an EEV.

This video is part of a larger series of technical training videos we make available to our technicians at SmartCare. If you found this interesting and would like to see more, please subscribe. New component teardown videos will be released every Tuesday in 2022.

If you’re a Smartcare technician who has a part you’d like to see me tear down, please reach out to me internally for further instructions.
