ORIFICE TUBE AUDI ORG - FJC

The FJC 3138 Orifice Tube for Audi A/C systems is a crucial component engineered to regulate refrigerant flow and ensure optimal air conditioning performance. This professional-grade orifice tube precisely meters the refrigerant into the evaporator, facilitating the necessary pressure drop for efficient heat absorption and consistent cooling within the vehicle's cabin. It also acts as a filter, preventing debris from circulating within the A/C system.

Key Features

• Audi-Specific Design: This orange orifice tube is specifically designed for integration into Audi A/C systems, ensuring compatibility and proper function.
• Precise Refrigerant Control: Featuring a 0.057? diameter, the orifice tube provides precise control over refrigerant flow, which is essential for consistent and efficient cooling performance.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured with professional-grade materials, this component is built to withstand the demanding conditions of automotive A/C systems.
• System Protection: Equipped with fine mesh screens, the orifice tube helps filter debris from the refrigerant, protecting other critical A/C components from contamination and potential damage.

Applications

The FJC 3138 Orifice Tube is essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of Audi automotive air conditioning systems that utilize a fixed orifice tube design. It is installed between the condenser and the evaporator, acting as the dividing point between the high-pressure and low-pressure sections of the A/C system. Technicians will replace this component during A/C system maintenance or repair, particularly if the vehicle exhibits symptoms such as warm air from the vents, inconsistent cooling, or rapid cycling of the A/C compressor, which can indicate a clogged or restricted orifice tube. Replacement is also necessary if the internal components or mesh screen become plugged, restricting refrigerant and lubricant flow.
