    Thermostatic expansion valve is mainly a throttling device commonly used in air conditioning systems and refrigerators.

    It is an automatic valve that maintains proper flow of refrigerant in the evaporator according to the load inside the evaporator. When the load in the evaporator is higher the valve opens and allows the increase in flow of refrigerant and when the load reduces the valve closes a bit and reduces the flow of refrigerant. This process leads to higher efficiency of compressor as well as the whole refrigeration system. Thus TEV works to reduce the pressure of refrigerant from higher condenser pressure to the lower evaporator pressure. It also keeps the evaporator active.
