If positive displacement compressor (such as scroll) has constant flow no matter the resistance in the system, how can TXV control flow?

Or it doesn't?

The compressor compresses a gas, pressure just increases if you limit flow. Also compression efficiency will decrease with higher pressure.

you have constant volumetric flow through the compressor, but not constant mass flow.
