Capillary tube is a very simple device and can be manufacture easily at low cost. The capillary tube can limit the maximum amount of refrigerant to be charged eliminating the need for a receiver in the refrigeration system. Another advantage is when the refrigeration plant is stopped, the pressure along the capillary tube and the entire system remains constant which means that if the compressor is restarted it does not need moreÊpower to overcome high pressure in the system. Hence, smaller compressors can be used instead of big, expensive ones. A disadvantage with capillary coil is that this system is non adjustable due to the fact that the control of the flow of pressure is dictated by the inside diameter of the tube.

What is the function of a capillary tube in an air conditioner?

A capillary tube in an air conditioner serves as a metering device to regulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil. It helps to maintain the proper pressure and temperature levels needed for the refrigeration cycle to operate effectively. By creating a pressure drop, the capillary tube assists in the cooling process by facilitating the phase change of the refrigerant from liquid to gas.

Why is a capillary tube thought of as a dry-type?

The Capillary tube metering device is used primarily on small fractional-horsepower refrigeration systems that have relatively constant evaporator heat loads. These systems are hermetically sealed, leak free systems with dry-type evaporators that use a minimum of refrigerant. The capillary tube metering device is a fixed bore device, itcontrols refrigerant flow by pressure drop.

Why mercury falls in capillary tube?

Mercury falls in a capillary tube due to the combination of capillary action and gravity. Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to be drawn up into a narrow tube against the force of gravity. When the adhesive forces between the mercury and the walls of the capillary tube are greater than the cohesive forces within the mercury, the mercury will move downward in the tube.


What is the difference between a capillary tube and a expansion valve?

The throttling devise can be the valve or the copper tubing that allows the flow of the refrigerant through very small opening also called as the orifice. The throttling devices allow restricted flow of the refrigerant. The throttling devices are also called as the expansion valves because when the refrigerant passes through them the pressure of the refrigerant drops down or it expands..Capillary tube is one of the most commonly used throttling devices in the refrigeration and the air conditioning systems. The capillary tube is a copper tube of very small internal diameter. It is of very long length and it is coiled to several turns so that it would occupy less space. The internal diameter of the capillary tube used for the refrigeration and air conditioning applications varies from 0.5 to 2.28 mm (0.020 to 0.09 inches). Capillary tube used as the throttling device in the domestic refrigerators, deep freezers, water coolers and air conditioners.
