If I change the AC compressor in a car, do I have to change the orifice?
It does not have an orifice tube.
it's in the high pressure side of the ac line
You're boned
What orifice tube? An orifice tube is part of the AC system pull off the lines going into the accumulator. You'll see it. DoratheExplorer
Yes, If the orifice tube was clogged or damaged. A faulty desiccant bag or compressor are usually the cause.
The ac orifice is made into the center of the liquid line. The liquid line is the one that runs along the passenger side inner fender.The ac orifice is made into the center of the liquid line. The liquid line is the one that runs along the passenger side inner fender.
It is inserted into the lower condensor tube at the quick connect
it is located in the bottom line under the accumulator
There is no expansion valve. There is an orifice tue. It is located in the inlet tube of the evaporator core.
Many of the GM vehicles have the AC orifice inside the condenser fitting that goes between the condenser and the cabin.
I just spent $ 785 to repair AC on 2005 PT Convertable with Turbo...it is an orifice system. Reason for AC failure was failed motor mounts and the engine torque pulled on the AC hoses until they failed and leaked suddenly.
