    Is a capillary tube considered to be a modulating mtering device, as a TXV is.



    I have often pondered this query, and have found many different answers to it

    What do you think it is?

    modulating metering device or not ?

    I have oftened wondered this because the tube responds to subcooling unlike a fixed oriface would, and more like a TXV does.
