Capillary Tube Obstruction and its effect on Fridge Performance
Of all the technical snags that the fridge repairing professionals come across, perhaps the issues associated with the obstruction of capillary tubes are among the steepest challenges that they come up with. It is true that they get the better of these challenges with flying colours, but not without some hard day’s work! Let us at first get into the think of things, and discuss what this tube is all about and its functionality. What Role Does the Capillary Tube Play in a Fridge? A capillary tube is made up of copper, and its principal task is to transmit the coolant or the refrigerator fluid into the inlet of the evaporator, after receiving it from the condenser. While the fluid runs through the tube, the resultant friction between the inner tube surface and the fluid reduces the pressure, thereby increasing the acceleration of the refrigerant. This subsequently results in the evaporation of the fluid once it reaches the edge of the capillary tube. Evaporation
