A metering device on a refrigerator is usually a capillary(cap)tube. It is a very small copper line located somewhere between the condenser coils (outside-hot) and the evaporator coils (cooling coils). It reduces the pressure of the refrigerant coming from outside as it enters the evap coils inside. Refrigerant cools under low pressure thus cooling desired inside area when air is blown across the cold coils. Think of a kinked garden hose and how on the spicket side of the hose the pressure is great, but on the other side the pressure is decreased. That is basically the purpose of a metering device.
What else can I help you with?
What are components parts of refrigeration?
There are four main parts of refrigerator. A compressor A condenser A Metering Device(capillary tube) An Evaporator
Where does flash gas get created?
As the refrigerant exits the metering device
What is a narrow tube that is used as a metering device?
capillary tube
The narrow tube that is used as a metering device is a?
capillary tube.
What are the major parts of refrigeration?
Compressor, condensor, metering device, evaporator.
Why the capillary tubing has a uniform bore?
As a metering device you need uniformity
Where the refrigeration changes in a refrigeration system?
at the metering device before the evaporator
What is HVAC high side?
Compressor outlet to metering device inlet.
What is the refrigerants state when entering the metering device?
High pressure liquid
How do you know in a jaguar x-type when you need the air metering?
i have a 2002 jaguar x type and they said it needs a air metering device where is that at on the car
Would an orifice type expansion device perform much the same as a capillary tube metering device?
yes
What is the refrigerant entering the metering or expansion device of a refrigeration system?
superheated vapor
