11.2 Electronic expansion valve
1 Check that the voltage of the valve ranges between
12Vdc±1.2V.
2 Use a multimeter to check the coil resistance (per phase). This
ranges between 150 Ω±10% at an ambient temperature of 20°.
3 Check the number of pulses per second. This ranges between
100Ω ± 250 pulses per second (the width between pulses is
greater than 3 mm ) on activating phase 2.
4 Check that the valve ow is reversible.
5 When the valve is fully open and in heating process, check that
the temperature of the liquid in the piping increases. If not, this
indicates a fault.
6 When the valve is slightly open or fully open, check that the
temperature of the freeze protection thermistor is higher than
the suction temperature. If not, this indicates a fault.
