It controls refrigerant flow and pressure, filters contaminants, and ensures efficient cooling while protecting critical components. Manufactured to GM’s original equipment specifications, it guarantees perfect fit, durability, and reliability, backed by a 24-month unlimited mile warranty. ## Description GM Genuine Parts A/C Orifice Tubes are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. These tubes, which separate the high and low pressure sides of the air conditioning system, control the flow of low pressure liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. The orifice tube is essentially a calibrated restriction located at the inlet to the evaporator. This causes the necessary pressure drop to allow the liquid refrigerant to evaporate within the evaporator and absorb heat. Since the orifice tube is fixed, the system is regulated by either cycling the compressor clutch or by a variable displacement compressor. GM Genuine Parts are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles. Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE). Review: Original AC Delco part, perfect fit for 2003 Yukon XL with rear AC - The orifice tube Is a very low priced component but it is also an extremely important part of the AC system. It serves two purposes, it filters out most contaminants from the oil and liquid refrigerant and also provides the correct pressure differential that is crucial to the proper and efficient performance of an air conditioning system. A partially clogged orifice tube will not provide the proper reduction of refrigerant pressure which will translate in inefficient cooling of passenger compartment air and increased strain on the compressor and other components. A severely or completely obstructed orifice tube will inevitably result in compresor failure. Before recharging your AC system always replace the orifice tube, the few "extra" dollars spent and minimal additional repair work will go a long way towards ensuring the system operates as efficiently as it can operate and lasts as long as it should last. This orifice tube fit my 2003 GMC Yukon XL with rear AC perfectly. I understand there are two different sizes of orifice tubes and newer or different trucks use the "2nd design", which is larger in diameter. The outside diameter of the AC line where the (1st design) orifice tube is housed on my truck is exactly .500", if the line is larger than that, it means it takes the "2nd design" orifice tube. Overall I'm satisfied wit the quality of this AC Delco part, and recommend it to any one planning to work an air conditioning system. I have attached a picture of the orifice tube removed, which shows significant obstruction caused by very fine metal shavings. An important word of caution, i f you intent to work on your AC and if the system is still pressurized, please take it to a professional shop an have the system purged or drained by a professional certified technician using the correct equipment and procedures.

The gas releases heat, condensing into a high-pressure liquid. After cooling, the liquid passes over evaporator coils to cool the air as it is blown through the vents. **Q: What are the signs the system needs service?** A: Common indicators of an air conditioning system in need of service include warm and/or weak airflow through the vents, frequent on/off cycling of the system and a strange or musty odor. **Q: Is the puddle of water under my car a sign of AC problems?** A: Not necessarily. Condensation typically builds up on the AC evaporator and the water is drained at the bottom of the vehicle. That’s normal, but a larger puddle combined with reduced AC performance could indicate a problem. **Q: Does low refrigerant mean there’s a leak in the system?** A: In most cases the answer is yes. AC systems in older cars will experience refrigerant leakage over time, but a later-model vehicle that needs continual refrigerant recharging typically indicates a leak. **Q: Can a new cabin air filter improve AC performance?** A: Yes. A very dirty or clogged cabin air filter can reduce the airflow of the AC system, reducing its cooling efficiency and making the system work harder than normal. Periodic cabin filter replacements help the AC system keep its cool. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original AC Delco part, perfect fit for 2003 Yukon XL with rear AC *by R***Z on June 22, 2017* The orifice tube Is a very low priced component but it is also an extremely important part of the AC system.
