Capillary tubes are commonly used to meter the refrigerant flow from the high pressure (condenser side) to the lower pressure (evaporator side) in small refrigeration systems, such as household refrigerators and freezers, dehumidifiers and room air-conditioners. This simple device consists of a long...
