From the data supplied determine pressure drop ∆p Since the capacity of the expansion valve must
in TDE. be equal to or slightly higher than the corrected
Pressure drop ∆p1 in liquid lines, pipe bends, evaporator capacity of 18.7 kW, a TDEX 6 giving
filter, sight glass, solenoid valve, etc. can be 20.1 kW would be a suitable choice (See example
