In Dynamics mode, we study the impact of the Joule-Thomson effect on the refrigeration loop temperature by manually throttling XV1. The Joule-Thomson effect describes the temperature change of a gas resulting from a sudden change in pressure (for example, by throttling a valve). As the pressure drop across the valve increases, so does the temperature difference. The following figure shows the system response to suddenly changing the manual position of XV1 from 100% to 80%.
