    摘要: A method for detecting a low level of refrigerant circulating through a motor vehicle refrigerant circuit having a compressor (12), a condenser (14), an evaporator (16), and an accumulator (18), includes detecting a partial loss of a refrigerant fluid by measuring the temperature difference of the refrigerant fluid between an evaporator inlet and an evaporator outlet. The method further includes detecting a complete loss of refrigerant by measuring the pressure of the refrigerant in the liquid phase between the condenser (14) and the evaporator (16). The temperature and pressure measurements are converted to engineering units and then compared to predetermined engineering units that correspond to separate ranges of ambient temperatures for determining the if the refrigerant level is low.

    摘要: An incrementally adjustable electronic expansion valve for precisely controlling refrigerant flow through the valve is disclosed. Basically, the expansion valve includes a stepper motor, a sleeve member, and an orifice assembly. The sleeve member is incrementally moved over a slot(s) in the orifice assembly by operation of the stepper motor to control refrigerant flow between an inlet and an outlet of an expansion valve. A control system provides electronic digital control signals to the stepper motor to control operation of the motor in response to superheat of refrigerant flowing from an evaporator to a compressor of the refrigeration system. The electronic expansion valve may also include sealing means to substantially prevent refrigerant flow through the valve when the sleeve member is in its fully closed position.
