Which of the following is not true of a capillary tube metering device?

  1. They are simple and inexpensive

  2. They can handle variable loads effectively

  3. They maintain a constant refrigerant flow

  4. They are generally used in small systems

The correct answer is: They are simple and inexpensive

Capillary tube metering devices are known for their simplicity and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for small refrigeration systems. However, one characteristic that does not align with their design is the ability to handle variable loads effectively. Capillary tubes do not adjust well to fluctuations in cooling demands due to their fixed size and length. This limitation can lead to issues with maintaining proper refrigerant flow and system efficiency when dealing with varying loads.
