R290 Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV)
With increasing regulatory pressure on PFAS-containing refrigerants and potential restrictions on the use of R-1234yf in automotive applications, propane (R290) is emerging as a compelling low-GWP alternative for future vehicle thermal management and heat pump systems. R290 offers excellent thermodynamic performance and very low global warming potential, while its flammability imposes stringent requirements on component design: hermeticity and leak tightness are critical to ensure performance and safety compliance with automotive standards.
Our R290 Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV) has been engineered specifically for these challenges, delivering a robust and high-performance solution that meets the demanding conditions of advanced automotive thermal circuits. Its bidirectional flow capacity and low-hysteresis direct control enable accurate refrigerant regulation across varying load conditions, while multiple control interfaces (LIN, PWM) and modular packaging options support seamless integration into diverse vehicle architectures.
The hermetic design of our R290 EXV addresses the heightened safety expectations of automotive manufacturers for flammable refrigerants. This combination of performance, reliability, and safety makes our R290 EXV a future-ready choice for next-generation automotive heat pump and cooling systems, aligned with evolving environmental regulations and OEM requirements.
