Abstract
Expansion valves are described that include a housing containing an inlet and an outlet, one or both of which is configured for coupling to an expansion device; a valve orifice provided between the inlet and the outlet; a valve member configured for engagement with the valve orifice; and an expandable member coupled to the valve member by a transmitting element and configured for moving the valve member into and out of engagement with the valve orifice. The expansion device includes a flow-regulating member that contains at least a first and a second channel forming at least first and second channel orifices, respectively, such that a cross-sectional area of the first channel orifice is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second channel orifice. A cross-sectional area of the valve orifice is at least as large as the cross-sectional area of the first orifice. Expansion device assemblies, vapor compression systems and vehicles containing expansion device assemblies, and methods of operating vapor compression systems are also described.
