Re: Trouble shooting tx valves
Direct expansion evaporators are NEVER flooded (on purpose).
The inside of the evaporator coil will have approx. 80-85% of it's internal area wetted by liquid refrigerant. The last 15-20% of the coil surface area is used for superheating the refrigerant vapor.
If you start a system up warm, the superheat will be higher than normal. Do not adjust the TXV during this time.
Wait until the temperatures are down to the expected range and then check the superheat.If all else fails, ask for help.

Re: Trouble shooting tx valves
its very wrong and sily to adjust the txv. the txv is pre-set by the factory
now you have big problem you compressor will damage and txv need to replace good luck
