Abstract
A multizone air conditioning system for cooling multiple zones by circulating refrigerant in a closed circuit through the system. The system includes control means for activating and deactivating at least one individual evaporator unit and means for retaining within the portion of the tubing of an individual evaporator unit, when and if it deactivated, an amount of refrigerant which is approximately equal to the amount of refrigerant in the individual evaporator unit when it is activated. As a result, the refrigerant in the system remains balanced regardless of whether individual evaporator units are activated or deactivated.
