the orifice tube is the very small capillary gas control tube that meters the gas from the compressed high pressure side of the system to the low pressure side. Some times they will get stopped up either from moisture in the system or from blown screens on the dryer filters.

Where is orafice tube on Pontiac gran am?
What year? On a 2002, take the discharge hose from the condenser apart and you should find it in the hose end.

Where is the Orifice Tube on a 1999 Ford Escort?
It is on the left (drivers) side of the engine compartment near the headlight. It is in the line that runs from the condenser mounted on the radiator, to the evaporator in the passenger compartment. MAKE SURE THERE IS NO PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM BEFORE YOU WORK ON THIS PROJECT. There is a valve right next to the orafice tube so that you can ensure there is no pressure on the high side.
Can you get auto ac system diagrams at low cost?
I need to find the orifice tube on a 2001 pt cruiser.
Is a accumulator part of the low side of a refrigerant system?
The accumulator is a component on the low pressure (vacuum) side of an air conditioning system which uses a fixed orifice tube - they won't be found on a Thermal Expansion Valve system.
Where is the air conditioning overflow tube in a 2003 Toyota Echo?
It is underneath
Why does the air conditioning leak inside of a car?
The drain tube for the condensation is probably plugged with debris. Condensation is a normal process within the ac system. Locate the drain tube and clean it out, the location varies with each make and model vehicle.
Were is the orifice tube located in a 1996 Chevrolet S-10 Air Conditioning System?
in the high pressure line before it runs into the evaporator look for dimpling in the hard line.
Where is the air conditioning orifice in a 2004 dodge durango?
On that truck you do not have an orifice tube but what you do have is called an expansion block or also known as an H-valve and there are two if you have a dual a/c system..........
Where is the orfice tube on a 95 mercury tracer?
Normally, the A/C orafice tube is located in the a/c refrigerant line entering the heat/exchanger or heater core. It looks like a long narrow pointed screen from an old water well point. And, it usually cost approx. $10. To change it, you must evacuate the A/C with proper capture equipment, remove and replace the tube, replace the seals for that area, then do a vac. test on the system. Make sure it holds a good vac. before charging it. BTW, vac it down for at least 30 minutes to remove any and all moisture from the system. Normal indications of a plugged orafice tube include no cooling, compressor siezing due to a blockage (can't push the coolant and the clutch slips), smells pretty bad and eventually burns out the clutch, the compressor, or both. Also, and this is important, you must flush the system out. If the tube is plugged, the system can contain contaminants and dirt that will plug the new tube as well. You would also change the reciever/dryer as well. So spend the money, have it professionally serviced by a good shop, and the A/C will last much longer and cool so much better. It may save you expensive repairs later... trust me... hope this helps...
Does Chevrolet air conditioning use an orifice?
If you mean an "orifice tube", then yes.
I have a 95 Volvo 850. The AC compressor kicks on and off every 2-3 seconds I charged it with new freon R-134 what could be the problem?
you may still be low on freon or the orafice tube may be blocked
