Default Gogarty, you're stupid if you really think it's ice in the choke point.

Duh. WAKE UP. The refrigerant is hot or warm in the orifice in the choke
point. It's still compressed there. Ain't no way ice is going to form there.
Debris blocking it maybe; ice - NO! Only when the refrigerant exits the
choke point and begins to expand does it get cold enough to freeze water.
This happens AFTER the choke point and not at the choke point.

Is everybody on RBC stupid? Are they all Bruce in Bangkok clones or
something?

Here ya be:

"Moisture in a refrigeration system, directly or indirectly, is the cause of
most problems and complaints. First, moisture can cause freeze-up in a system.
Moisture is picked up by the refrigerant and transported through the
refrigerant line in a fine mist, with ice crystals forming at the point of
expansion."



No! No! Can't be true. Why, if that is true then Willie-boy is wrong.

Cheers,

Bruce
