What is the purpose of the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) in an air conditioning system?

There are several ways that air conditioning systems convert the high-pressure liquid refrigerant from the compressor to lower-pressure vapor. The conversion takes place at the air conditioning evaporator. The evaporator is chilled as the refrigerant passes through, cooling the air flow through the evaporator for delivery to the vents. The conversion is usually accomplished by a sudden change in the tubing size. Many vehicles have a removable controlled orifice in one of the air conditioning pipes at the firewall. The models covered use a A/C Expansion Valve (TXV) that accomplishes the same purpose as a controlled orifice. To remove the A/C Expansion Valve, have the air conditioning system discharged by a licensed air conditioning technician, then disconnect the refrigerant lines from the A/C Expansion Valve (remove the nut retaining the refrigerant pipes lo the thermal expansion valve). Remove the two bolts securing the valve, then remove the valve. Installation is the reverse of removal. Have the system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it. Installation is the reverse of removal. Have the system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it. Note: The A/C Expansion Valve (TXV) is located next to the brake booster in the engine compartment.

Chevrolet Camaro A/C Expansion Valve

In the specific Chevrolet Camaro series, the A/C Expansion Valve is responsible for the regulation of the refrigerant supply in the A/C system for maximum efficiency. Energy cost is controlled by the manner in which refrigerant flows through the A/C Expansion Valve, which assists in the regulation of the performance and stable running of the whole system. It is quite possible that, in the course of the years, certain Chevrolet Camaro models have employed various types or styles of A/C Expansion Valves, with their own working principles as well. These are some of the design differences of A/C Expansion Valve could explain why there are slight differences in performance and efficiency between Camaro models.
