It meters the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator based on cooling demand, maintaining proper superheat to prevent liquid slugging at the compressor. Replacement is typically needed when the A/C system fails to cool adequately, develops evaporator frosting, or shows pressure imbalances indicating a stuck or clogged valve. This unit is a common service replacement for many OEM and aftermarket systems.
