However, I have been
having problems with blockage of the capillary tube. The only solution may be
a new evaporator.

If the blockage is coming from frozen moisture you may be able to
cure it by leaving a vacuum pump on the system for 6 to 8 hours. I
just had to do that with a new Adler-Barbour system and it seems to be
OK now. The symptoms were that it would start out cooling just fine
on startup and then slowly degrade over 24 hours.
