Evaporator Tubing Routing

Routing of the tubing on the back of the evaporator

determines the ice fill pattern failure mode.

One Evaporator, One TXV Models

The evaporator outlet tubing does not exit directly at
the top of the evaporator, but exits several inches
below the top of the evaporator. Extremely Thin at the
Evaporator Outlet will first be visible several inches
below the top of the evaporator. Extremely Thin at
Evaporator Inlet will first be visible at the bottom of the
evaporator.
