Abstract

In the cooling system (AC), there are a series of main components to support the working system, namely the compressor, condenser, filter drayer, capillary pipe or expansion valve and evaporator. The five components of concern in this study are the capillary tube. The function of the capillary tube is to lower the pressure and lower the temperature of the system. The results showed that the performance of the refrigerator with length of capillary pipe 150 cm, diameter 0.031 inch, Coeficient of Performance (COP) was 3.28, Refrigeration Efficiency 86.47%, refrigeration effect 130.17 kJ/kg. and pressure ratio 6,22. For refrigerator with length of capillary pipe 200 cm, diameter 0.031 inch, Coeficient of Performance (COP) was 3.41, Refrigeration Efficiency 79.68%, refrigeration effect 128.66 kJ/kg. and pressure ratio 6,33. In refrigerator with length of capillary pipe 250 cm, diameter 0.031 inch, Coeficient of Performance (COP) was 3.25, Refrigeration Efficiency 77.27%, refrigeration effect 127.02 kJ/kg. and pressure ratio 6,77. Based on the results of the analysis of the three types of capillary pipes, capillaries with a length of 150 mm have better performance than the other two types of capillary pipes.
