    What you are describing is a stepper motor. This HVAC trade is becoming a very complex trade many thanks for doing this video.

      Yes, it is very similar to an AC stepper motor! Thanks!

    This lady’s nd gents is why you need to subscribe to Mr. Miggs channel.
    Only testing resistance can you determine if the EEV ,LEV is operational.
    What a excellent explanation, demonstration nd visually satisfying post.
    Thankyou so much Craig for all your posts , editing nd much needed content for us guys in the field ..

    @acservicetechchannel great video, I hope you don't mind a couple of minor clarifications to make it even better. At 1:30 -1:40 the gasket is not the pressure seal it just helps lock the acuator in position on the body of the valve. The "spring" at 2:00 in the body of the valve is a bellows assembly the same as an old fashoined mechanical TXV and is the pressure seal / barrier for the refrigerant. Also part of the reason these valves have more pulses is because the coarser thread on the actuator pin is acting against the bellows and refrigerant pressure so the reduction gearbox in the actuator head is used to inrease the torque and still get good control resolution. The other type with the stainless head has no real pressure to work against as the internals are all at system pressure and there is a much finer thread on the needle valve assembly. Swings and roundabouts in a lot of cases :)

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      if there is refrigerant flowing and no airflow, the coil will be very low in temperature and there woukd be frost.

    • @imranshaik675
      @imranshaik675 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Why EEV doesnt fully gets closed in stopped indoor unit in vrf system. Is it gear problem or mechanical needle. As most common answer due to impure foreign particles preventing the needle to close completely

    Is there any reasoning (besides price) for one over the other? The LEV looks like a Carrier product to me "look what we made, just like an eev, but more expensive and wont last as long".

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are more steps of control and more strength for closing the pin position due to the gearing.

      @@acservicetechchannel I dont see much of this stuff as Im fairly rural and have a set amount of hvac equipment in my area but the LEV guts looks like the inside of my 5 y/o's toy cars. Everything Ive ever heard was EEV's are 100x better control than a TXV, now LEV's give more control than EEV's. I really want manufacturers to focus with a laser on reliability, enough with gizmos for a bit, who cares how efficient it is when the coil leaks after 3 years?
