What is the evaporator - Refrigerators

1 Answer

Anonymous

The evaporator is the part of the fridge that gets cold, more correctly it removes heat. It is usually located in the freezer and a fan motor, evaporator fan, move air thru the evaporator to cool both the fridge and the freezer. Some units have two evaporators, one for the fridge and one for the freezer.

WRS6R3EW8 Refrigerator and freezer not cooling. Evaporator coil 60 deg. only. Compressor, evaporator fan and condenser fan running. Some frost on the tubing coming from condenser at the evaporator. ...

Where is it frosting, condenser or evaporator? If you mean frosting on evaporator line to compressor, probably iced up evaporator. If you mean frosting after condenser by capillary, unit short of gas/ blocked.

Trying to put a new vapor canister in 95 grand Marquis.I got two lines running from engine to plug into canister but my connection has two plugs for my lines but on canister still a open hole nothing to...

Section 03-13: Evaporative Emissions 1995 Town Car, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis Workshop Manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Evaporative Emission Canister Fuel vapor emitted through the evaporative emission valve (9B593) is stored in two evaporative emissions canisters (EVAP canister) (9D653) . I think you should have 2 engine vacuum lines, one for each canister.

Evaporative Emission Tube Shut Off Valve The evaporative emission tube shut off valve (9G332) is located in-line between the evaporative emission valve (9B593) and the evaporative emissions canister (EVAP canister) (9D653) . The evaporative emission tube shut off valve control valve is mounted on the fuel tank (9002) by an integral bracket. The evaporative emission tube shut off valve closes the flow path from the evaporative emission valve to the evaporative emissions canister during refueling to prevent overfilling of the fuel tank .

What does po440 on a 2003 saturn vue mean with a service engine soon light on

That is a problem in the evaporative emission control system.
Could be anything causing it
Clogged filter in the charcoal canister
A leak in one of the vacuum lines
The purge valve not working,,,etc.
The best thing is to take it and have it checked out, they might have to do a smoke test to find the problem.
All they do is inject smoke into the system, if there is a leak the smoke will come out of it. All it takes is a pin hole in these emission systems to screw it all up.

I checked the codes and one comes up its po446. i dont under stand what it mean so i cant fix it to get the light to go out.

P0446 Evaporative Emission System Vent Control Circuit.
The following are descriptions of all Evaporative possible codes:

P0441 Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge Flow
P0442 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (small leak)
P0443 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit
P0444 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Open
P0445 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Shorted
P0446 Evaporative Emission System Vent Control Circuit

P0449 Evaporative Emission System Vent Valve/Solenoid Circuit
P0450 Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch
P0451 Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Range/Performance
P0452 Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Low
P0453 Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch High
P0454 Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Intermittent
P0455 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak)
P0456 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak)
P0457 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (fuel cap loose/off)
P0458 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Low
P0459 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit High
---
At least the cap isn't loose for the gas tank.

I would clear the code with an OBD-II Scanner 'erase code' button, and see how long it takes for it to come back.

Which way does the orifice tube go? Orange end or white end to the firewall?

9 is the orifice. Freon is headed toward the evaporator in the car. The orifice has an arrow on it. Good luck, please rate. Thanks A/C Evaporator Core Orifice NOTE: The A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990) should be replaced whenever an A/C compressor (19703) is replaced.

The A/C evaporator core orifice has the following characteristics:
  • is color-coded orange
  • has a diameter of 1.46 mm (0.058 inch)
  • is located in the condenser to evaporator tube (19835)
  • has filter screens located on the inlet and outlet ends of the tube body
The A/C evaporator core orifice is the restriction in the refrigerant circuit that creates the pressure drop necessary for cooling by metering the flow of liquid refrigerant into the A/C evaporator core (19860), which reduces the pressure. Operation is as follows:
  • The inlet filter screen acts as a strainer for the liquid refrigerant flowing through the A/C evaporator core orifice.
  • O-rings on the A/C evaporator core orifice prevent the high-pressure liquid refrigerant from bypassing the A/C evaporator core orifice .
  • Adjustment or services cannot be made to the A/C evaporator core orifice assembly. It must be replaced as a unit.

Where exactly is the orifice tube located at on a 1996 (DOHC v6)?

it's in the high pressure liquid line.

A/C Evaporator Core Orifice The A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990) should be replaced whenever the A/C compressor (19703) is replaced for lack of performance (internal damage). The A/C evaporator core orifice, located in the condenser to evaporator tube (19835), cannot be serviced in detail as a component of the line. If replacement is necessary, follow the procedure outlined for Liquid Line Removal and Installation. An orifice tube replacement service kit may be used as an optional service procedure. Refer to Section 12-00 for information regarding the use of an A/C Evaporator Core Orifice Replacement Kit E5VY-19D695-A.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/C Evaporator Core Orifice Replacement Kit Installation
  1. Discharge A/C refrigerant system. Refer to System Discharging and Recovery as outlined.
  1. Remove condenser to evaporator tube (19835) from vehicle.
  1. Locate A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990) by three indentations or a circular recess in metal portion of the condenser to evaporator tube.


    A/C Evaporator Core Orifice Location

  1. Note angular position of ends of condenser to evaporator tube so that it can be reassembled in correct position.
  1. Cut a 63.5 mm (2.5 inch) section from condenser to evaporator tube at A/C evaporator core orifice location. Do not cut closer than 25.4 mm (1 inch) from start of a bend in tube.

  1. Remove contaminants from the two pieces of the condenser to evaporator tube.
  1. NOTE: The inlet half of the condenser to evaporator tube will be positioned against the A/C evaporator core orifice tabs when correctly assembled.

    Lubricate fitting with clean refrigerant oil and assemble orifice tube kit (with A/C evaporator core orifice installed) to condenser to evaporator tube. Make sure flow direction arrow is pointing toward evaporator end of the condenser to evaporator tube, and taper of each compressor ring is toward compression nut.

Evaporator

The following is a general removal procedure of A/C evaporator core. The evaporator is removed differently from different vehicles.
For example, a 1994 Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable instructs you to, "Using a hot knife, cut the top of the air conditioning evaporator housing between the raised outline."

Use a hacksaw or a hot knife to cut the case. Reprinted with the permission of Ford Motor Company.
But a 1993 Ford Probe manual says to simply remove the blower motor and assembly screws before separating the case halves and removing the evaporator.




The following procedure assumes that access to the evaporator has been determined.
  • Recover the refrigerant.
  • Drain the radiator if the heater hose(s) has to be removed to gain access.
  • Remove the heater hose(s), if necessary.
  • Remove any wiring harness, heat shields, brackets, covers, and braces that may restrict access to the evaporator core.
  • Remove the liquid line at the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) or fixed orifice tube (FOT).
  • Remove the suction line at the evaporator or accumulator outlet.
  • Gain access to the evaporator core as outlined in the service manual.
  • Lift the evaporator from the vehicle.
  • Drain the oil from the evaporator into a calibrated cup.
  • For replacement, reverse the preceding procedure. First, replace the oil with the same amount and type you previously drained.
