Some units use orifice tubes and some units use thermostatic expansion valves to meter the refrigerant, but in either case it will be found between the condensation coil and the evaporator coil. Usually just before entering the evaporator coil.
If you mean an "orifice tube", then yes.
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..........
It does not have an orifice tube.
Orifice Tube
Yes. Otherwise you wouldnt have air conditioning in your vehicle.
in the high pressure line before it runs into the evaporator look for dimpling in the hard line.
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
A '99 Olds Delta 88 doesn't use an orifice tube system for the air conditioning it uses a thermal expansion valve. The location is under the passenger side dash in the heater/evaporator box. Unfortunately, you have to remove the dash to replace it as well as discharge the a/c 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.
I need to find the orifice tube on a 2001 pt cruiser.
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.
Most orifice tubes are placed in the high pressure line to the evaporator at the fire wall connection. You will have to empty the freon from the system to replace the orifice tube which is not very expensive (the tube, that is).
