A heat exchanger for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) system includes a shell having an inlet configured to receive refrigerant and an outlet configured to output the refrigerant. The heat exchanger also includes a refrigerant distributor disposed within the shell, and multiple evaporating tubes disposed within the shell and positioned below the refrigerant distributor. The refrigerant distributor includes a perforated plate having multiple holes, each hole extends from a top surface of the perforated plate to a bottom surface of the perforated plate, and a center point of each hole is substantially aligned with a centerline of a respective evaporating tube.

The present disclosure relates to an enclosure of a vapor compression system, where a component is disposed within the enclosure. The component is fluidly coupled to the vapor compression system and configured to discharge a flow of fluid. The enclosure includes a hole within a portion of the enclosure and a relief valve disposed within the hole of the enclosure, where the relief valve is configured to discharge the flow of fluid in a first direction through a passage within the relief valve. The passage extends from an interior region of the enclosure to an environment external of the enclosure. The relief valve is configured to block a second flow of fluid through the passage in a second direction, where the second direction is opposite of the first direction.
