And a pressure-sensitive body disposed in the pressure-adjusting chamber so that the length in the tube axis direction changes, and the flow passage area of the refrigerant is connected to both ends of the pressure-sensitive body on both sides of the pressure-adjusting chamber. And a pair of valve bodies arranged so as to change, the pressure sensitive body moves in the flow direction of the refrigerant in the pressure regulating chamber by changing the flow direction of the refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path pipe, A bidirectional constant-pressure expansion valve characterized in that the valve element located on the downstream side of the pair of valve elements is fully opened, and the valve element located on the upstream side serves as a throttle for adiabatically expanding the refrigerant. .
【請求項2】上記感圧体は上記感圧室内の冷媒圧力が高

請求項1記載の双方向定圧膨張弁。
2. The pressure-sensitive body is shortened in length as the refrigerant pressure in the pressure-sensitive chamber increases, whereby the valve element located on the upstream side is attracted to the pressure-sensitive chamber side and the pressure-sensitive chamber. The bidirectional constant-pressure expansion valve according to claim 1, wherein the refrigerant flow passage area on the inlet side is narrowed, and as a result, the refrigerant pressure in the pressure sensing chamber and the downstream refrigerant flow passage pipe is maintained constant.
