the orfice tube is locate in the line between condenser and evaporator. near the spring lock coupling. you must unbolt the cruise servo and overflow bottle, reposition them out of way and you will see the line connection..the orfice is inside line near that uniion. the ac system must be evacuated prior to removal, and recharged afterwards..

SOURCE: loacation of the orifice tube

The AC evaporator orifice always has to be after the electronic freon release valve after the receiver/dryer, and the evaporator itself.
It is optimal for it to be as close to the evaporator as possible, so sometimes it is even part of the input for the evaporator.
However, it is best if it is separate, because the orifice often gets clogged.
But the most common cause of clogging is ice, so try a vacuum pump to desiccate any moisture out first.
If the clog is ice, you can tell by heating the orifice and melting the ice.
Careful not to get it too hot though.
You don't want to damage hoses, and if freon gets into a flame, it can be toxic.

Where is the location of the ac orifice tube on 06 chevy silverado

The orifice tube is located in the line of the high pressure side of the system it maybe at the condenser or in the high pressure line. You should be able to feel a crimp in the line and the is the stop for the orifice. I believe the o6 is in the line and as I said there is a crimp in the line where the orifice is located.

Location of orifice tube in 2000 chevy venture

best advice is the method i would use to located the orifice tube in the 2000 chevy venture. check the automotive repair book section in your local library. Most libraries have repair manuals on their automotive shelf section. find the a/c manual for your year and model car. make a copy of the page that has the information you need. you will need to make a copy because the library will not let those manuals be checked out. you might want to google for the location of the orifice tube location. I hope this helps.

What is the purpose, and what is the proper location of the orifice tube in the air conditioning system on my 1991 chevy silverado?

The orifice tube restricts the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator. This restriction allows high pressure liquid freon to change into low pressure freon before entering the evaporator. The orifice tube is located inside the hose running between the condenser and the evaporator. You'll need an orifice tube removal kit if you are looking to remove it.

Orfice tube location

the fixed orifice is located in the inlet tube to the evaporator core, this is where the small high pressure AC line from the compressor connects to the tube sticking out of the engine firewall, u will most likely need a special tool to remove it, here is a web link to the tool, don't damage the evaporator core by trying to remove the orifice tube without this if it is stuck down in the tube.
