CONSTRUCTION
The cyclone separator integrated valve separates high pressure liquid refrigerant and sends it to the outer heat exchanger (cooler condenser assembly) for high-efficiency heat absorption and sends gaseous refrigerant straight to the compressor with motor assembly. (when the magnet valve is on.)
The cyclone separator integrated valve integrates the 3 functions of liquid-gas refrigerant separation, switching (magnet valve, differential pressure regulating valve) and aperture control into 1.
OPERATION
When the valve is open:
When the magnet valve is operating, a pressure differential is created before and after the magnet valve and a differential pressure (P1 greater than P3) is formed across the differential pressure regulating valve.
When P1 becomes greater than the force of the spring plus P3, the differential pressure regulating valve opens and the gas injection circuit opens.
Refrigerant that enters the circuit is separated and while gaseous refrigerant is sent to the injection circuit, liquid refrigerant flows through the aperture circuit.
When the valve is closed:
When the magnet valve is not operating, no pressure differential is created and P1 equals P3.
When P1 becomes greater than the force of the spring plus P3, the differential pressure regulating valve opens and the gas injection circuit opens. (Misty refrigerant passes through the cyclone separator integrated valve without being separated.)
