The present invention provides a system for effectively managing the refrigerant charge in a heat pump, and for separating a gaseous refrigerant from liquid refrigerant and oil mixture in a manner that allows oil entrapped with the refrigerant to transfer to the compressor, and to insure that only refrigerant in gaseous phase is allowed to enter the compressor through the suction line.
