Abstract:
A working fluid distribution system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a distributor tube composed of a flexible material and configured to supply a working fluid to a component of an HVAC circuit of the HVAC system. The fluid distribution system includes an actuator coupled to the distributor tube and configured to be actuated to adjust a geometry of the distributor tube. Additionally, the fluid distribution system includes a controller configured to instruct the actuator to adjust the geometry of the distributor tube based on an operating condition.
