Toyota Tundra A/C Expansion Valves & Orifice Tubes

The Toyota Tundra was officially released in May 1999 and is known as the first import-branded full-size pickup which features that truly American look and an impressive V8 engine. It was highly praised by the press, though some automotive magazines expressed a doubt that the Tundra will be able to compete with the competitors by Ford and Dodge. But the results of the first-year sales of the truck showed that for 2000, the carmaker sold over 120,000 of Tundras, which became the best initial sales result in the history of Toyota. Furthermore, for this year, the truck got two honorable awards by Consumer Reports and Motor Trend.

The suction and discharge sides of the AC system are separated with expansion valves and orifice tubes, and this way the system regulates the flow of refrigerant through the evaporator. Being more specific, the expansion valve adjusts pressure with moving parts and a sensor that measures refrigerant's temperature, while the orifice tube helps the compressor to adequately adjust the capacity of the pump. When this process does not run properly, the AC may fail, and you might require new Toyota Tundra A/C expansion valves & orifice tubes.
