    Re: capillary tube sizing

    Well I am not sure that can someone give a 'correct' capillary tub for the applications request. However it would be halpfull if could be more specific about Refrigerant fluids (R600, R22, R404A, R407A, R134A ????)

    For the Freezer and refrigerator freezer I assume you will need a Φ1mm. The length ????

    I don't know, didn't know that we had to do tests on here.

    What is the correct length and size for those items?

    If we gave you all the answers then you wouldn't be studying would you?

    You tell us your findings and we'll comment on the them.

    Bear in mind that HP isn't really a proper duty figure.

    Some refrigeration systems use pumps and compressors to move refrigerant fluid around a thermodynamic cycle in order to "pump" heat.
