Abstract (en)

Provided are a power element and an expansion valve using same that are capable of suppressing local deformation of a diaphragm while ensuring the transfer efficiency of a refrigerant. A power element 8 includes a diaphragm 83; an upper lid member 82 that is overlapped on one surface in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the diaphragm 83 and forms a pressure working chamber PO with the diaphragm 83; a receiving member 86 that is overlapped on another surface in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the diaphragm 83 and forms a refrigerant inflow chamber LS with the diaphragm 83; and a stopper member 84 housed in the refrigerant inflow chamber LS and in contact with the diaphragm 83, wherein the diaphragm 83 is displaced within a range from a neutral position to a position displaced from the neutral position toward the upper lid member 82 side.
