∗
1. Water in the refrigerant freezes inside the capillary tube or expansion valve, and is
basically the same phenomenon as pump down.
∗
2. Dirt in the refrigerant clogs filters inside the piping, and is basically the same
phenomenon as pump down.
∗
3.Pressure differential between high and low pressure becomes slight.
