This mixing valve is sometimes called a pressure relief or pressure control valve. It serves to protect the compressor motor from overloading during hot pull-downs or immediately following a harvest cycle when internal pressures spike. Additionally, it provides a protective function as it monitors suction pressure to the compressor. If pressure exceeds a safe operating threshold, the mixing valve will actively modulate or limit the maximum pressure entering the crankcase. For remote condensers affected by cold temperatures, the refrigerant will be cooled too much which will drop line pressure dramatically. This valve will modulate internally and restrict the cold liquid coming from the condenser and open a bypass to mix hot discharge gas from the compressor back into the liquid line loop. This valve essentially prevents excessive amperage draws, electrical shorts, tripped breakers, catastrophic compressor failure, and keeps the machine producing ice.
