Expansion noise - capillary tube into evaporator

[Gary]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. This makes sense, but I don't think that it the full solution.

Now, what if the system were actually manufactured in imbalance. In other words, if the evap, compressor & condenser are mis-matched? How would this affect the system charge? How would the condenser system shape affect required system charge?

Some matches are better than others, but there are no mis-matches... and the system will seek and find a point of balance, however disadvantageous that balance point may be.

Let's fix the obvious problem and then see what we have.

Are we 100% certain that this 'obvious problem' is the real underlying reason for the system operating the way it currently does?

Are there examples of any other cap-tube systems operating successfully with strainers in the inverted position? What of the systems which do not have strainers (other than blockages)?

I'm asking this in order to make sure that we fully evaluate all possibilities, before moving down one path.

Is it a problem? Yes.

Is it the only problem? Probably not.
