Re: Dual Evaporator Requirements

Thank you Al9 for advancing my learning curve. I also learned recently about about (Variable Orifice Tubes) and installed one with good success. Now my R4 doesn't try to lock up once in awhile like it used to and maintains steady gauge readings. For now, I backed off of the rear AC system idea and d...

I would like it to work as one system whenever my front ac is turned on. 1: Will I need two orfice tubes or can I run both evaporators in series...
