The EEV is often used in modern refrigeration systems, but troubleshooting its common failures may be complicated.

If an ice machine evaporator has a grid design, it can separate from the evaporator plate over time, causing ice to form between the two parts, causing problems.

One of the major components in any refrigeration system is the evaporator, and there are several types of direct expansion (DX) evaporators that can be used.

Making sure the TXV is metering the right amount of refrigerant into the evaporator and is not overfeeding the coil is one way technicians can help their customers’ refrigeration and air conditioning systems operate safely and more efficiently.

Liquid line restrictions cause the evaporator, compressor, and condenser to be starved of refrigerant, causing performance problems in refrigeration systems.

An evaporator can be cold but inactive, causing warm refrigerated space temperatures.

The evaporator is one of the major components of any refrigeration or air conditioning system.

Little by little, a compressor’s lubricating oil will eventually escape the compressor’s crankcase and enter the system’s tubing.

The higher the inlet water temperature, the more sensible heat must be removed from the water and the longer the freeze cycle. The latent heat removed causes the water to change state, thus producing ice.

Refrigeration systems can become restricted in both their high and low sides for a variety of reasons.
