Distributor Assembly for Space Conditioning Systems

A space conditioning system, comprising:

• a first heat-exchange coil;
• a second heat-exchange coil;
• a compressor configured to compress a refrigeration fluid and to transfer the refrigeration fluid to a discharge line and to receive the refrigeration fluid from a suction line, wherein the discharge line is connected to one of the first heat-exchange coil or the second heat-exchange coil, and the suction line is connected to the other of the first heat-exchange coil or the second heat-exchange coil;
• and
• a distributor assembly, including:
• a sealed expansion device having a first opening, a second opening and an interior chamber there-between, the interior chamber containing an orifice housing, wherein the orifice housing has a through-hole orifice therein and the orifice housing is configured to move between the first opening and the second opening within the interior chamber, and, outer surface of the orifice housing forms a fluid stop around the first opening such that the refrigeration fluid delivered through the second opening can substantially only pass through the through-hole orifice to the first opening,
• a sealed distributor housing having a largest opening that is permanently sealed to the first opening of the sealed expansion device and further includes a plurality of smaller openings configured to be fluidly connected to one of the first heat-exchange coil or the second heat-exchange coil, and
• a plurality of delivery tubes, wherein one end of each of the delivery tubes is sealed to one of the smaller openings of the distributor housing, and, another end of each of the delivery tubes are each fluidly connected to different access ports of the one first heat-exchange coil or second heat-exchange coil.
