Disclosed is a nut assembly for an electronic expansion valve, an electronic expansion valve, and a limiting element mounting method. The nut assembly comprises a nut base, having a first end and a second end opposite to each other; a stop guide rail, sleeved on the nut base; a check ring, sleeved on the nut base and capable of helically rotating with respect to the nut base along the stop guide rail; and a limiting element, provided at the first end of the nut base The limiting element mounting method comprises the following steps: enabling the limiting element to be sleeved on the nut base, and enabling a second limiting boss to extend from a groove opening of a first limiting groove into the first limiting groove; and enabling, by means of the limiting element, the second limiting boss to slide into a corresponding second limiting groove.

An electronic expansion valve and an assembly method therefor. The electronic expansion valve includes a screw rod component, a movable connection component, a valve pin component and an elastic element. One end of the elastic element abuts the movable connection component, and the other end thereof abuts the valve pin component. In the period from the valve pin component closing the valve port part to the screw rod component moving a pre-set displacement amount in the valve closing direction, the elastic element does not generate an elastic force pushing the valve pin component towards the valve port part; and in the period from the valve pin component closing the valve port part to in a case that the screw rod component moving more than the pre-set displacement amount in the valve closing direction, the elastic element generates an elastic force pushing the valve pin component towards the valve port part.

A cooling system for a drum type ice-making machine is provided. The cooling system circulates refrigerant to cool a drum of the drum type ice-making machine. The system includes an expansion nozzle inserted into a refrigerant supply pipe, a preliminary cooling unit wound around an outer circumferential surface of a refrigerant recovering pipe, a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of a drum, and, a controller for adjusting a start time point of the drum based on the temperature. Thus, the temperature of the refrigerant can be stably maintained to improve the ice making quality, the production cost of the system can be reduced, and the constant production amount of the ice can be maintained.

A heat management system which includes: a refrigerant circulation line which includes a compressor, a water cooling-type condenser, a first expansion valve, an air cooling-type condenser, a second expansion valve, and an evaporator, and cools the indoor space by circulating a refrigerant; a heating line which heats the indoor space by circulating cooling water which exchanges heat with the refrigerant through the water cooling-type condenser; a first cooling line which cools a battery by circulating cooling water which exchanges heat with air or the refrigerant; and a second cooling line which cools electric components including a driving motor, by circulating cooling water which exchanges heat with air or the refrigerant. The heat management system enables efficient heat management of electric components and a battery in a vehicle as well as cooling and heating of the vehicle.

A heat pump system comprises: a main heat exchange circuit, comprising a two-stage compressor (100a,100b), a condenser (200), a throttle element (300a,300b) and an evaporator (400), which are connected in sequence to form a circuit; an economizer, disposed between the condenser and the evaporator; a gas supplement branch, connecting a gas outlet of the economizer to a gas supplement port of the compressor, with an economizer regulating valve (600) for controlling the opening and closing of a flow path being arranged on the gas supplement branch; and a control device, wherein the control device controls the opening and closing of the economizer regulating valve based on a refrigerant state feature in the evaporator during a start-up stage of the heat pump system.

An expansion valve for reducing a pressure of a fluid flowing through the expansion valve along a fluid flow path has: at least one fluid inlet and at least one fluid outlet, a first valve element with at least one first channel structure, a second valve element with at least one second channel structure and a third channel structure, wherein the first and second valve elements are movable relative to each other, wherein, in a first position of the valve elements, the first and second channel structures are aligned with each other and form a first fluid flow path having a first flow resistance between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and wherein in a second position of the valve elements, the first and third channel structures are aligned with each other and form a second fluid flow path having a second flow resistance.

There are a first coolant circuit that supplies a first coolant in a first tank to a first load, a second coolant circuit that supplies a second coolant in a second tank to a second load, and a refrigeration circuit that adjusts temperatures of the first and second coolants to set temperatures by heat exchange between the first and second coolants and refrigerants by using heat exchangers. The set temperature of the second coolant is equal to the set temperature of the first coolant or higher than the set temperature of the second coolant, and the set flow rate of the first coolant is higher than the set flow rate of the second coolant, and the volume of the first tank is larger than the volume of the second tank.

An expansion valve is provided with a valve body including an inlet hole through which a refrigerant flows into a valve chamber, and a valve hole through which the refrigerant flows out of the valve chamber; a valve element configured to adjust an amount of the refrigerant flowing through the valve hole; a power element that is mounted to the valve body and configured to drive the valve element via a valve rod; a first vibration isolation spring provided in the valve chamber and configured to prevent vibration of the valve element; and a second vibration isolation spring that is in contact with the valve rod and configured to prevent vibration of the valve element.

Surged vapor compression heat transfer systems, devices, and methods are disclosed having refrigerant phase separators that generate at least one surge of vapor phase refrigerant into the inlet of an evaporator after the initial cool-down of an on cycle of the compressor. This surge of vapor phase refrigerant, having a higher temperature than the liquid phase refrigerant, increases the temperature of the evaporator inlet, thus reducing frost build up in relation to conventional refrigeration systems lacking a surged input of vapor phase refrigerant to the evaporator.

A spool assembly configured for use in a two-stage proportional control valve in a fluid system includes a substantially cylindrical sleeve having an axially extending sleeve bore extending from an open first end to an open second end. A spool includes a spool bore that extends from an open first axial end to a closed second axial end and is slidably mounted within the sleeve bore. The spool further includes a first circumferentially extending groove defining a fluid flow path, a second circumferentially extending groove formed near a first end thereof, a third circumferentially extending groove formed near the second axial end thereof, a circumferentially extending pressure groove formed therein between the second axial end and the third circumferentially extending groove, and first, second, and third transverse fluid passageways formed through a side wall of the spool.
