Re: Heat Pump - 4 Way Valve.
You will either have two metering devices (expansion valve/ accurator) in circuit one each for cooling or heating. Alternatively a two way device (capiiliary or electronic expansion valve).
In the case of the TEV they will usually each have a bypass circuit with a check valve. An accurator will only provide expansion in one direction, the expansion orriface being pushed out of the way when not required.
A capiliary is a fixed oriface and will provide the same pressure drop with flow in either direction. An electronic expansion device will regulate depending on the mode.
A biflow filter can be used but usually only a strainer is needed

in addition whit the capillary there is the strainer,where inside is like a metal marble ho is correcting the flow ore amount of refrigerant.try and find an old unit and dismount it completely, open the parts as well. thats how i learned it in the old days. you understand the working parts better then.:o
