Kia Sedona A/C Expansion Valve

Kia Sedona A/C Expansion Valve regulates the flow of refrigerant from discharge to suction side in such a way that cabin air stays at the temperature you choose. It detects temperature and via A/C Expansion Valve adjusts an internal pintle to release pressure and allow the mist refrigerant to pour into the evaporator so your Kia remains cool when idle or driving at speed. Some early Sedona years applied a fixed orifice tube instead, which is a simple orifice through which it meters flow and makes the compressor cycle on and off. The adjustable A/C Expansion Valve offers instant response resulting in better vent air, faster pull down, and less evaporator icing compared to the tube. Both devices are applied to separate high and low circuits and carry mesh screens to trap out debris, but the A/C Expansion Valve is only reactive on later Sedona editions. If the A/C Expansion Valve becomes stuck or clogged, the pressures spike, the evaporator can freeze, and the compressor in your Kia can be damaged very costlier. Uneven cooling, odd gauge readings, or dripping water are all signs that your A/C Expansion Valve is failing, so replace the valve and flush lines to keep your Kia Sedona comfortable.

If you're in search of top-notch, reasonably priced OEM Kia Sedona A/C Expansion Valve, then you've found the perfect spot. Our website boasts an extensive inventory of Kia Sedona A/C Expansion Valve, all priced at the market's premier price.
