An air conditioner and evaporator inlet header distributor therefor are provided. The air conditioner may include an evaporator inlet header distributor to distribute a refrigerant expanded in an expansion mechanism to a plurality of refrigerant flow paths of an evaporator. The evaporator inlet header distributor may include a distributor body, a refrigerant inlet pipe to guide refrigerant expanded in the expansion mechanism to an inside of the distributor body, a plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes to discharge the refrigerant from the distributor body into the plurality of refrigerant flow paths, and a separating plate to separate the inside of the distributor body into a header flow path connected with the plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes and a refrigerant dispersing flow path connected with the refrigerant inlet pipe to guide an upper portion and a lower portion of the header flow path by dispersing the refrigerant. Accordingly, two-phase refrigerant may be uniformly distributed to the plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes using a simple structure.

Methods, systems and apparatuses are directed to a capacity modulating assembly configured to distribute two-phase refrigerant mixture to an evaporator of a HVAC system, such as a micro-channel heat exchanger (MCHEX) evaporator. The capacity modulating assembly may include a plurality of expansion devices. During capacity modulation, at least one of the plurality of expansion devices can be closed so that a refrigerant flow rate through the remaining expansion devices can be maintained. The capacity modulating assembly can include a refrigerant outflow port, which may help direct refrigerant out of the heat exchanger. The capacity modulating assembly can be connected with the MCHEX. The plurality of expansion devices can be configured to extend inside a header of the MCHEX to help distribute refrigerant to the micro-channel tubes of the MCHEX.

An expansion and isolation valve, specifically an electric expansion and isolation valve for operation with the coolant R744, featuring a valve body arranged in a valve body chamber, a seal seat, and a seal, which are arranged along an axial movement direction of the valve body in the expansion valve. The expansion valve is further designed such that in a closed state of the expansion valves, there is a pressure bypass to the valve body chamber, and preferentially, that a valve body diameter at the positions of the seal seat and the seal corresponds with the respective seal diameters.

[Object] Provided is a control valve capable of ensuring controllability in both flows without increasing the number of parts.

[Solving Means] A plurality of differential pressure valves 50, 60, 70, and 80 are disposed inside a valve body 10 so that a fluid pressure acting on a main valve body 20 disposed inside a main valve chamber 13 becomes the same in a flow of both directions including one direction from a first inlet/outlet 11 to a second inlet/outlet 12 through the main valve chamber 13 and the other direction from the second inlet/outlet 12 to the first inlet/outlet 11 through the main valve chamber 13.

Provided is a motor-driven valve with a simple configuration that is capable of suppressing flow rate loss of fluid and reducing noise caused by the flow of the fluid in the first flowing direction and the second flowing direction, without greatly changing a conventional motor-driving valve. A porous body is fixed to a valve seat member, the porous body being extended at least to be lateral to a valve port and having a cutout part corresponding to a first opening provided at a lateral part of a valve body.

An electronic expansion valve is provided, the valve needle component thereof is provided with an axial mounting hole, the screw rod position limiting portion is mounted at the bottom end of the screw rod and extends into the axial mounting hole, and the valve needle position limiting portion is mounted at an open end of the axial mounting hole; and a distance between the bottom end of the screw rod and a bottom wall of the axial mounting hole forms the predetermined buffer distance. When the refrigerant flows reversely, the structural design of the electronic expansion valve may, on one hand, simplify the control procedure, and on the other hand, avoid the problem that a screw rod is stuck because a valve needle component is not removed in time.

In a refrigeration cycle apparatus, a refrigerant heat exchanger is provided within a refrigerant container, and the refrigerant heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between refrigerant flowing through a bypass circuit and refrigerant accumulated in the refrigerant container.

A thermal expansion valve with one-way control function includes a valve body having an inlet passage and an out passage, a temperature sensor installed on one end of the valve body, and a first valve core component installed in an inside chamber of the valve body. The first valve core component includes a first valve core and a valve rod against the temperature sensor. The valve body also includes an accommodation component extending from said the inlet passage into the valve body and coaxially installed with the inlet passage. The accommodation component has a second valve port connected with the inside chamber. The accommodation component has a second valve core component having a supporting piece and a second valve core matching the second valve port. The processing of the structure is convenient and the assembly of the second valve core component is simple and reliable.

A refrigeration cycle is filled with a single component refrigerant of a substance having a property of undergoing disproportionation reaction or a mixed refrigerant containing a substance having a property of undergoing disproportionation reaction and a refrigerating machine oil miscible with the refrigerant.

Provided is an expansion device configured to form a refrigerant circuit using refrigerant containing a substance having such a property as to cause a disproportionation reaction, the expansion device including: a valve body having a cylindrical shape; and an expansion unit including a valve seat, the expansion unit being configured to vary an opening area by insertion of the valve body into the valve seat through movement of the valve body in an axial direction thereof, in which: a distal end portion of the valve body to be inserted into the expansion unit is formed to have an angle larger than 0 from a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve body.
