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

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. After it gets past the choke point it can then expand and become cold as it expands. If you look at the evaporator you will see a couple of interesting things. The large diameter copper tubing from the compressor chokes down to a spiral of very small diameter copper tubing (choke point) which spirals around the larger copper tube. The whole freaking thing has warm refrigerant inside... Willie-boy it is a crying shame that you don't know anything about refrigeration systems, or physics for that matter. The temperature of a gas decreases at the point the pressure drops. Not at some point downstream of the orifice (not "check point, you fool) and water freezing and blocking the system at that point is a common problem in refrigeration systems. Only AFTER the choke point where the refrigerant can begin to expand does the evaporator get cold. Once again, you don't know what you are talking about. The temperature decrease is AT the orifice, not downstream of it. Willy-boy you are not only demonstrating your ignorance of fridge systems but you are demonstrating just how big a fool you are. You voiced your opinion about osmosis - Wrong. Next you try to recover your credibility by talking about fridge systems - Wrong again. I wonder whether you will ever be right. snip Wilbur Hubbard Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
