In a thermostatic expansion valve, a tube connection from a selected control point in the low-side circuit to the pressure sensing side of the control element so that the control-point pressure is transmitted to the actuating element (diaphragm or bellows). This connection provides a means for compensating for the pressure drop through accessories and the evaporator. 3, record 1, English, - external%20equalizer

(...) un détendeur thermostatique ne règle pas directement la pression d’évaporation, mais contrôle le remplissage en liquide de l'évaporateur en fonction de la surchauffe(...) des vapeurs quittant l'évaporateur. On arrive à ce résultat en faisant appel à un élément sensible(bulbe) que l'on fixe sur le conduit d’aspiration, à la sortie immédiate de l'évaporateur. Ce bulbe, qui est rempli d’un liquide volatil agissant par sa tension de vapeur, est relié au "train thermostatique"(...) du détendeur par l'intermédiaire d’un tube capillaire. 1, record 5, French, - bulbe
