  • Patent number: 5029454
    Abstract: A flow metering device for use as an expansion valve in a heat pump system includes a body having a flow passage extending therethrough. A piston having a flow metering port extending therethrough is moveably positioned within the flow passage. An elongated member extends through the metering port of the piston and is axially and radially fixed within the body. The elongated member has a central portion which cooperates with the metering port to prevent flow through the port when axially aligned with it. The elongated member has flow metering configurations formed thereon on both sides of the central portion. The piston is spring biased into alignment with the central portion. Refrigerant flow in either direction through the device results in movement of the piston against a spring force into a flow metering relationship with one of the metering configurations.
