SERVICE
Economizer Assembly — Each circuit on
30XW175,200,350,400 units has an economizer assembly. The
30XW150,325 units do not have an economizer and have one
main electronic expansion valve. The 30XW150,325 units are
controlled the same way as units with a separate economizer
assembly. See Fig. 42.
Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV) — See Fig. 43
for a cutaway view of the EXV. High-pressure liquid refriger-
ant enters valve through the top. As refrigerant passes through
the orifice, pressure drops and refrigerant changes to a 2-phase
condition (liquid and vapor). The electronic expansion valve
operates through an electronically controlled activation of a
stepper motor. The stepper motor stays in position unless pow-
er pulses initiate the two discrete sets of motor stator windings
for rotation in either direction. The direction depends on the
phase relationship of the power pulses.
The motor directly operates the spindle, which has rotating
movements that are transformed into linear motion by the
transmission in the cage assembly. The valve cone is a V-port
type which includes a positive shut-off when closed.
The large number of steps and long stroke results in very ac-
curate control of the refrigerant flow. The stepper motor has ei-
ther 4260 (main) or 2785 (economizer) steps.
MAIN EXV CONTROL — Each circuit has a thermistor lo-
cated in a well in the discharge line of the compressor (DGT)
and another one located in the compressor motor cavity (SGT).
Each circuit also has discharge and suction pressure transducer.
Discharge and suction pressure as measured by the transducers
are converted to saturated temperatures. The main control logic
for the EXV uses discharge superheat to control the position of
the EXV. The difference between the temperature of the
discharge gas and the saturated discharge temperature is the
superheat. The EXV module controls the position of the elec-
tronic expansion valve stepper motor to maintain the discharge
superheat set point.
