Abstract
Pulse width modulation is used to control the flow rate through a solenoid expansion valve in a refrigeration system. A first temperature sensor is located near the evaporator inlet, and a second temperature sensor is disposed in a compartment to be cooled. A controller is included for controlling the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated solenoid valve. The controller receives inputs from the two temperature sensors and controls the valve duty cycle based on the difference of the two temperatures. The second temperature sensor is preferably located on the back wall of the compartment and can be adjacent to the compartment air inlet, adjacent to the compartment air outlet, or between the air inlet and air outlet.
