A superheat-controlled expansion valve in a refrigerant 22 system is not equipped with an external equalizer. The valve supplies refrigerant to an evaporator coil and comes from the factory with a setting that requires 5 K superheat in order to open the valve at an evaporator temperature of 0°C. What difference in pressure on opposite sides of the diaphragm is required to open the valve? When the pressure at the entrance of the evaporator is 600 kPa, how much superheat is required to open the valve if the pressure drop of the refrigerant through the coil is 55 kPa?

A superheat-controlled expansion valve in a refrigerant 22 system is not equipped with an external
equalizer. The valve supplies refrigerant to an evaporator coil and comes from the factory with a setting
that requires 5 K superheat in order to open the valve at an evaporator temperature of 0°C.
What difference in pressure on opposite sides of the diaphragm is required to open the valve?
When the pressure at the entrance of the evaporator is 600 kPa, how much superheat is required to
open the valve if the pressure drop of the refrigerant through the coil is 55 kPa?
