12. Electric expansion valve
CN15 , 16
Electric expansion valve 1
• The electric expansion valve is driven by DC 12V. Power is supplied to 1 or 2 phases of 4-phase winding to switch
magnetic pole of winding in order to control opening degree.
• Relationship between power switching direction of phase and open/close direction is shown below.
When power is supplied, voltages at pins
power is supplied. When power is reset, initialization is performed for 10 or 20 seconds.
During initialization, measure all voltages at pins
voltage that has not changed from around 0.9V or 12V, expansion valve or microcomputer is defective.
• Fig 12-2 shows logic waveform when expansion valve is operating.
Pin No.
With explosion valve control, opening degree is adjusted to stabilize target temperature, by detecting temperature of
compressor head.
The period of control is about once per 20 seconds, and output a few pulses.
