Capillary tube systems do not stop the flow of refrigerant after the compressor is shut off by the cycling control. In fact, refrigerant will continue to flow from the condenser to the evaporator ...

The capillary tube has been used as a refrigerant metering device for many decades. Many HVACR manufacturers are still successfully employing capillary tube metering devices in their latest equipment.

Although vapor-compression refrigeration is a simple concept, there are still a lot of details in the implementation of such a system that determines exactly how efficient it is. After making a few of ...
