The main idea is to identify where the refrigerant is at high pressure in an orifice-tube system. After compression, the refrigerant is hot and high-pressure as it moves through the condenser. The orifice tube sits between the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side, so the portion of the tube before the restriction is still high-pressure. Therefore, the high-pressure side includes the compressor discharge path, the condenser, and the upstream portion of the orifice tube. The evaporator and any accumulator are on the low-pressure side after the throttling occurs. That’s why the correct set is the compressor’s high-pressure portion, the condenser, and the upstream portion of the orifice tube.
