Abstract
An economizer and an air conditioning system. The economizer includes a housing with a refrigerant inlet for connecting to a first heat exchanger, a refrigerant outlet for connecting to a second heat exchanger, and a suction port for connecting to an intermediate stage of a compressor provided thereon; and a choke portion configured to protrude inwardly from an inner wall of the housing and arranged close to the suction port, such that refrigerant flowing to the suction port is at least partially obstructed. According to the technical solutions of the present application, the refrigerant flowing to the suction port can be at least partially obstructed. When the liquid droplets carried by the refrigerant are obstructed by the choke portion, the liquid droplets are adsorbed on the wall surface to form a liquid film, and the movement of the liquid film is obstructed by the choke portion.
