Strange TXV setup

[mad fridgie]

Ah your correction is duly noted, drink more beer to ensure a proper installation, best advice yet.

With a suction accumulator do you really think the solenoid valve is needed? It assumes the compressor valves are perfect! Never had cause to check if they are and if they can hold the charge for up to 24 hours.

Got to do something while waiting for vacuum to be completed "drink beer"
Extra valve an ideal, acc will protect.
I except the point about compressor valves.
