Hai good guy

If you have the the same cooling capacity and the operating conditions (evaporating and condensing temperature and the same refrigerant), why would the cap tube requirement change if you change the compressor type?

The cap tube size and length is based on the refrigerant flow required for a specific evaporating and condensing temperature, if the refrigerant and cooling capacity does not change.

If all else remains constant, except for the compressor type you should be OK to replace the compressors. The compressor type (piston or rotary) should have no effect on the cap tube.
