Generated explanation

The illustration shows an air-conditioning evaporator A-coil seated in a condensate tray with a side drain connection. The exposed end of the coil shows refrigerant tubing, coiled capillary tubes, and connections to the liquid and suction lines. Arrows indicate refrigerant entering through the liquid line and leaving through the suction line. An inspection annotation directs attention to the capillary tubes for evidence of crimping, loose connections, frost, or oil; no specific damaged location is clearly depicted.
