Features & Benefits

Orifice Tubes

Orifice tubes serve as the divide between the high and low pressure sections of the A/C system. A very simple component with no moving parts, orifice tubes also serve as a refrigerant filter and can become clogged with debris, which always requires the orifice tube to be replaced.

• Separates high side from low side
• Creates a restriction to regulate flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator
• Refrigerant boils and evaporates upon entering low pressure area in evaporator

 Fixed Orifice Tube - Must be replaced with compressor

• Refrigerant flows through fixed diameter tube
  • Diameter set by system design
• Flow rate determined by pressure drop across orifice & tube diameter
• Performance optimized at highway speeds
• Orifice tubes are built application specific per OEM size and color
