Capillary tube refrigeration systems are integral components in compact refrigeration and air-conditioning units. These systems utilise a narrow, precisely dimensioned tube to regulate the flow of ...

As energy costs and regulatory demands for system efficiency increase, thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs) are replacing capillary tubes, particularly in residential air conditioning and heat pumps.

The capillary tube has been used as a refrigerant metering device for many decades. Many HVACR manufacturers are still successfully employing capillary tube metering devices in their latest equipment.

Tube radial distribution chromatography (TRDC) is an innovative separation technique that exploits the spontaneous radial segregation of mixed solvent systems under laminar flow conditions in ...

In the late 1910s and early 1920s a pair of scientists independently developed an equation that describes how a fluid rises in a capillary tube as a function of time. The formula—the Lucas-Washburn ...

Fill a narrow glass capillary tube with water, then turn it horizontal. Conventional wisdom says that the water will remain inside the tube. But a group of scientists in Spain and the UK has found ...

Ultra-Small Diameter (USD) capillary tubing plays a key role in terms of enhancing the performance of liquid chromatography and related microfluidics instrumentation. Industry leaders operating at the ...
