  • Patent number: 10837683
    Abstract: A throttling device is equipped with a valve seat in which a valve port for connecting a primary chamber and a secondary chamber is formed, a needle valve, a needle section which is inserted into the valve port, a guide section for guiding a slide shaft of the needle valve, and a coil spring for biasing the needle valve in a valve-closing direction. The guide section and the coil spring are positioned on the primary chamber side. The coil spring is covered by a stopper section. A gap between the stopper section and a main body case functions as a main body path for delivering a refrigerant from the primary chamber to the valve port.

  • Patent number: 10161541
    Abstract: In a throttle device, a body portion has a flat surface at a position at a predetermined distance from its center axis. Thus, when a needle member is moving, a working pressure of a refrigerant present between an inner peripheral surface of a guide tube and the flat surface acts in a radial direction of the body portion and presses part of an outer peripheral surface of the body portion located opposite from the flat surface against the inner peripheral surface of the guide tube.
