Expansion Block/Orifice Tube: Service and Repair
A/C Evaporator Core Orifice
The A/C evaporator core orifice should be replaced whenever an A/C compressor is replaced for lack of performance (internal damage).
The A/C evaporator core orifice, located in the condenser to evaporator tube, cannot be serviced in detail as a component of the line. If replacement is
necessary, follow the procedure in Refrigerant Lines for removal and installation.
An orifice tube replacement service kit may be used as an optional service procedure.
