How does a TXV handle the reverse flow of refrigerant in a heat pump?

    txv

    a heatpump txv has a built bypass.  When it goes one way it gets metered into the evaporator,  when in heatpump mode it Bypasses and allows full flow through it.

    A couple of ways

    Some use check valves to go around the TXV, some use a newer type of BI-flow TXV.
