Which outcome occurs when a capillary tube in a refrigeration system becomes partially blocked with particulate matter?

A)Reduced cooling capacity and increased superheat
B)Increased cooling capacity and decreased subcooling
C)Decreased compressor discharge temperature and pressure
D)Optimal cooling as alternate pathway clears

💡 Explanation

When a capillary tube is blocked, refrigerant flow restriction occurs because the passage area decreases, leading to reduced evaporator pressure and mass flow, with lower cooling and higher superheat. Therefore reduced capacity with increased superheat results, rather than alternative effects that require proper flow.
