Default 420SEL Question

Hi,

Would anyone happen to know exactly what the expansion valve for the air conditioning does?

Thanks

Hi, Try this link for a good explanation: http://home.howstuffworks.com/ac.htm

Basically it separates the high-pressure from the low-pressure sides of the system. It creates the low pressure where the liquid refrigerant can boil, therefore get cold. Aaaaahhhhhh! Coooooolllllll!
Regards, from a fellow 420 owner.
