In a refrigeration system, why are expansion devices located closer to the evaporator? Correct Answer To minimise the heat gain

Explanation:

Refrigeration system:

A refrigeration system contains a minimum of four key components i.e., compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator.

Expansion device:

  • The purpose of the expansion device is to rapidly reduce the pressure of the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle.
  • This allows the refrigerant to rapidly cool before entering the evaporator.
  • Expansion device located closer to the evaporator in order to minimize the heat gain.
  • The most common devices are capillary tube, thermal expansion valve, electronic expansion valve
