Question

Which condition below is NOT one that would happen in a system with a restricted capillary tube?

A Suction pressure would drop
B Discharge pressure would increase
C Flood back to the compressor
D Less refrigerant would flow into the evaporator

Answer 1

The condition that would NOT happen in a system with a restricted capillary tube is Discharge pressure would increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition that would NOT happen in a system with a restricted capillary tube is B - Discharge pressure would increase.

When a capillary tube is restricted, it hinders the flow of refrigerant through the system. This leads to a drop in suction pressure because the refrigerant cannot flow easily into the evaporator. As a result, less refrigerant flows into the evaporator, reducing the cooling capacity.

However, the discharge pressure is not directly affected by a restricted capillary tube.
