Abstract: An electronic actuator assembly operates an in-line valve. A valve seat of the in-line valve is surrounded by a plate. The plate can include one or more openings configured to allow fluid to pass through the plate. A perimeter of the plate outside of the openings can be configured to have ends of pipes joined on either side of the plate. The in-line valve can be operated by an electronic actuator. The electronic actuator can be powered by a supply line that enters the assembly through the plate. The electronic actuator assembly can be incorporated in to a fluid circuit to serve as an expander. The electronic actuator can be located in a housing to direct flow around the electronic actuator. The electronic actuator can be installed in place of an orifice plate of an existing fluid circuit of a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, or refrigeration (HVACR) system.
