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."




Ah HAH! The point of expansion - EXACTLY! The refrigerant only begins to
expand AFTER the choke point. Up to the choke point, the compressed
refrigerant is actually warm.

Not in an overcharged system.

EXACT-****ING-LY. If you were capable of reading with comprehension you
would have read my saying exactly THAT. I said to bleed some excess pressure
from your system and enjoy a working system even if you refuse to acknowlege
my excellent advice, PUTZ!

Nope Willie, like a lot of things you read but you didn't understand.
The chap you quoted has it right, the temperature drop takes place AT
the point of expansion, not someplace after the orifice.

You must have a rather odd edition of a basic physics manual - the
temperature drop occurs somewhere downstream of the orifice.....

Nope Willie, you got it wrong and all the ducking and diving that you
do isn't going to prove that it right.
