Bad orifice tube

A bad orifice tube can lead to issues in an air conditioning system, particularly in vehicles. This small component regulates the flow of refrigerant and can become clogged or damaged, resulting in poor cooling performance or inconsistent temperature control. Symptoms of a faulty orifice tube may include unusual noises, fluctuating pressures, or ice formation on the evaporator. Replacing the orifice tube is often necessary to restore proper functionality.
