A condenser subassembly for providing an economizer function in a refrigeration circuit, the condenser subassembly including: a condenser chamber; a flash tank chamber; an expansion device; and a housing, the housing defines a vessel, the vessel comprising the condenser chamberand the flash tank chamber, the condenser chamberand the flash tank chamberare separated from one another by a partitionin the vesseland the expansion deviceis arranged to pass condensed refrigerant from the condenser chamberto the flash tank chamber

Condenser subassembly with integrated flash tank

A refrigeration system comprising an evaporator, and a method of operating a refrigeration system. The evaporator comprises: a first fluid volume upstream of a second fluid volume, and a plurality of channels fluidly connecting the first fluid volume and the second fluid volume. The system further comprises a flow restrictor arranged to prevent fluid flow through at least a first channel of the plurality of channels in response to a pressure difference between the first fluid volume and the second fluid volume being less than a predetermined threshold, and to permit fluid flow through the first channel in response to the pressure difference being greater than the predetermined threshold.

Refrigeration system and method of operating a refrigeration system

A vapor compression method and system including: a compressor configured to circulate a working fluid and operate at a plurality of operating conditions; an evaporator in fluid communication with the compressor, the evaporator heat exchanger comprising: a shell configured to allow the working fluid to flow therethrough; a plurality of parallel-spaced tubes disposed within the shell, the plurality of parallel spaced tubes configured to allow a heat transfer fluid to flow therethrough; and at least one baffle operably coupled to the plurality of parallel-spaced tubes, the at least one baffle configured to divide the shell into at least two chambers; an expansion valve assembly in fluid communication with the evaporator; and a control device operably coupled to the compressor and the expansion valve assembly, the control device configured to operate the valve assembly based at least in part on the plurality of operating conditions.
