2.1.2 Pressure and temperature of refrigerant
Capillary Tube
The pressure in normal condition shows the figure in the right side
table, but the pressure (P1) of high pressure side tube is affected
greatly by the temperature change and about 16kg/cm
temperature condition (indoor/outdoor 21°C).
The pressure fluctuation is affected by the tube length or insulation
as well as temperature change, so measure the pressure (P
pressure side for the trouble shooting of refrigerant system.

Higher
Lower
Note) The high/low temperature is a figure converted into pressure.
The low pressure is normally 4.5-6.0kg/cm
(Temperature is normally 3°C-10°C.)
