D. Bulb pressure
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The type of pressure or force that does not act on a TXV diaphragm.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The type of pressure or force that does not act on a TXV diaphragm is Head Pressure.
Explanation of Solution
TXV is a thermostatic expansion valve. It is a component which is used in a refrigeration and air conditioning cycle. It is used for the expansion of refrigerant from the condenser pressure to the evaporator pressure. It controls the amount of refrigerant that which has to be fed from condenser to evaporator. Thermal sensors are installed in this type of expansion device, which maintains a constant superheat in the evaporator.
TXV expansion valve consists of a valve body, a diaphragm, spring, needle and seat, and different types of sensors. The diaphragm which is used in this expansion valve measures the evaporator pressure. The seat in the valve body of a TXV valve is stationary. The needle has an ability to move in the diaphragm. The pressure caused by the bulb acts on the diaphragm and from the other side, its pressure is applied by the evaporator and the spring. The diaphragm moves up and down due to these pressures applied by the different components of TXV. These pressure forces regulate the valve needle at a regular time to open and close.
Therefore, Evaporator pressure, Bulb pressure, and Spring pressure are the active forces which work to move the needle in a TXV diaphragm.
Conclusion:
The pressure or force that does not act on a TXV diaphragm is Head Pressure.

- find stress at Qarrow_forwardI had a theoretical question about attitude determination. In the attached images, I gave two axis and angles. The coefficient of the axes are the same and the angles are the same. The only difference is the vector basis. Lets say there is a rotation going from n hat to b hat. Then, you introduce a intermediate rotation s hat. So, I want to know if the DCM produced from both axis and angles will be the same or not. Does the vector basis affect the numerical value of the DCM? The DCM formula only cares about the coefficient of the axis and the angle. So, they should be the same right?arrow_forward3-15.
