Abstract

Air cooling in cars is an absolute necessity in cars because it can provide comfort for drivers and passengers. There are a series of main components to support the working system, namely the compressor, condenser, filter drayer, expansion valve and evaporator. The five components that are of concern in this study are the expansion valves because in all cooling systems there are different types of expansion valves, but have the same function of these types of expansion valves, namely to lower the pressure and lower the temperature of the system. The types of expansion valves in question are elbow type expansion valves (TXV) sensing and box or block type expansion valves These two types of expansion valves were tested using the car’s air conditioning cooling system. The refrigerant material used is refrigerant (R134a. The results showed that the performance of the expansion valve (TXV), Coeficient of Performance (COP) was 3.79, Refrigeration Efficiency 64,45%, cooling capacity 3.26 kW, and refrigeration effect 160.06 kJ/kg. For valve block Coeficient of Performance (COP) is 3.90, Refrigeration Efficiency 70.28%, cooling capacity 2.89 kW, and refrigeration effect 115.75 kJ/kg.
