Under low loads you can experience flood back, this is liquid refrigerant getting back to the comprssor and can damage a compressor quickly. It's worse then under charge almost, in that sometimes you cannot tell it's happening. Sometimes its obvious though, people call it "popcorn" for a reason.

This serves as a volume for the refrigerant to expand, however even a large volume doesnt always do.
Mine has a few little extra things inside.

Oh like those copper bubbles at the beginning of the cap line.

NoL · 07-29-09

I'm not sure what you mean.

octopus13 · 07-29-09

Ok, you have the cap line, right when it comes out of the compressor, theres a bit of tubing then a copper bubble/tube. It must let the gas expand or something.

The capillary line doesn't come out of the compressor directly, it's between the condenser (after the filter) and feeds liquid refrigerant to the evaporator.

octopus13 · 07-29-09

ok, thats what i mean. The expanded tube after the condenser in the cap line. Is that the filter or an expansion chamber for the liquid.

NoL · 07-29-09

That's not "IN" the cap line. The cap line is the capillary line, the small thin copper tube.
That is a filter. Why would you want an expansion chamber on the liquid side where your trying to liquify not evaporate.
