Capillary tubes
The capillary tube serves almost all refrigeration
systems of capacity upto 10 kW. A capillary tube
is 1 to 6 m long with an inside diameter
generally from 0.5 to 2.28 mm.
When the liquid level increases, the needle opens the flow to the evaporator.
The mechanical high-pressure float valve is now often replaced with an
electronic alternative where the float provides impulses to control a solenoid
valve.
