Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Restrictor
The restrictor creates a restriction. This restriction
limits the flow, separating the high-pressure and low-pressure
sides in the refrigerant circuit. Upstream of the restrictor,
the refrigerant is warm due to the high pressure. Downstream of
the restrictor, the refrigerant is cold due to the low pressure.
Upstream of the narrow point is a strainer to catch dirt and
downstream of the narrow point is a strainer to atomise the
refrigerant before it enters the evaporator. |
Note
Arrow -A- on the restrictor
points to the evaporator. |
Renew it every time the refrigerant circuit is opened. |
Observe different versions. |
