Abstract
A converter for connecting a second condenser in series in a process fluid chilling loop system including a compressor, a discharge service valve mounted on the compressor outlet, a condenser, and a refrigerant-to-process fluid heat exchanger. The converter includes a housing, mounted on the compressor interposed between the compressor outlet and the discharge service valve, which includes first and second separate transfer chambers. The first transfer chamber connects directly to the compressor discharge port and the second transfer chamber connects directly to the discharge service valve. Each transfer chamber is connected to an external port on the housing by a plurality of small tunnel passages, thereby affording a thin, flat converter for connecting a second condenser in series with the system. An inclined web that extends from an annular wall on one side of the housing to an annular wall on the other side of the housing divides the housing into the first and second separate transfer chambers.
