Abstract
A system includes a flash tank, a load, a first compressor, a second compressor, a refrigerant routing line, and a flash gas bypass line. The flash tank stores a refrigerant. The load uses the refrigerant from the flash tank to remove heat from a space proximate the load. The first compressor compresses the refrigerant from the load. The refrigerant routing line routes the refrigerant from the first compressor to the flash tank below a liquid level line of the flash tank. The flash gas bypass line is coupled to the flash tank and sends the refrigerant as a flash gas from the flash tank to the second compressor. The second compressor compresses the refrigerant.
