I assume option D is the correct answer, because capillary tube in domestic refrigerator acts as a expansion device. Isn't it?

Sneha said:   1 decade ago
As capillary tube is one of the type of expansion device option d is correct. It is b/w them.

Option D is the correct answer. In domestic refrigerators, capillary tube acts as an expansion device and has located between the condenser and evaporator.

If expansion valve is present already then option A is right or wrong?

Sanjeev said:   8 years ago
The capillary tube itself serves the purpose of the expansion device, so the answer D is correct. Also, capillary tube is used in small capacity units, where load variation is almost constant, so domestic refrigerator doesn't require the control of the flow of refrigerant.

D is the right answer.
