Capillary tube
Can any1 tell mec how to calculate the length and dia of capillary in refrigeration

Re: Capillary tube
Chemi, excellent cap tube reference.
One thing to note, the principle of a cap tube that differs somewhat from an orifice is that liquid flows through much easier than vapor. A correctly sized cap tube will be slightly larger than absolutely required. This is because the size of the charge is the ultimate limiting factor.
Another way of saying this is that in a properly sized captube system, adding excess refrigerant will flood back to the compressor NOT back up into the condenser. This is not to say you want to flood the compressor. You must limit the charge under design conditions so that this does not happen.
This will give you the optimum design with minimum charge, allow for rapid equalization during the off cycle (important for starting with low-torque designs) and minimize refrigerant in the crankcase at initial start-up.
(If you are designing a captube system for the first time, check with the compressor mfg for the maximum amount of refrigerant in the crankcase they will permit without voiding the warranty, because that is where it will be on initial start-up!)

Re: Capillary tube
Unithé Hemétique has a selection CD for his compressors with an automatic selection of the capillary tubes.
Will try to post it somewhere.

Attached an old schematic from UH I used many times in the past.
Is it readable /usefull?Last edited by Peter_1; 26-04-2004 at 07:27 AM.
