An electronic expansion valve modeling framework development using artificial neural network: A case study on VRF systems

•An ANN model was used to predict mass flow rate through EEV.•We optimized input parameter number, hidden neuron number and transfer function pairs.•By optimizing ANN model parameters, ANN model accuracy was improved.•Based on field test data, ANN model had a better performance than power-law model....
