Abstract

A coupling mechanism is provided for coupling an expansion device in a liquid refrigerant line of a refrigeration system. The coupling mechanism permits the expansion device to be removably coupled to the liquid refrigerant line, thereby permitting the expansion device to be easily decoupled and recoupled to the liquid refrigerant line.
