Re: TXV's To Adjust or Not to Adjust - That is ....
With the fans switched off the valve orifice must become oversized as it is sized for the refrigerant mass flow rate with the fans operating, not with the fans switched off. With the fans off the coil becomes a static cooler and cannot possibly boil off the refrigerant that is being delivered by the now oversized compressor. Yes if we are lucky the compressor may stop via LP but not in all instances
The fact is though the expansion valve bulb sensor clamped on the suction line will sense the freezing line and shut the valve down stopping almost any liquid flooding back to the compressor. So the evaporator will not need to boil off the refrigerant . The compressor is not oversized but will just not have to do much work .
