Cara Menghitung Ukuran Pipa Kapiler Refrigerasi

This document discusses selecting the proper capillary tube for refrigeration systems. It begins by introducing different types of expansion devices, then focuses on capillary tubes. Key factors in capillary tube selection are identified, such as refrigerant, temperature conditions, compressor model. Correlations have been developed to predict capillary tube flow based on these characteristics. The document describes a new web app that uses these correlations and a database of refrigerants to recommend the correctly sized capillary tube based on the compressor model or system capacity. Users can select options to optimize for various ambient temperature ranges.
