    摘要: A refrigerant circuit is disclosed. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, a first expansion device, an economizer, a second expansion device, and an evaporator fluidly connected. A working fluid flows through the refrigerant circuit. A bypass segment is fluidly connected to the refrigerant circuit. A portion of the working fluid is provided from the refrigerant circuit to the bypass segment from a location in the refrigerant circuit disposed between the condenser and the evaporator with respect to flow of the working fluid. The portion of the working fluid flows through the bypass segment in a flow enabled state and is provided to a location in the refrigerant circuit disposed between the economizer and the evaporator with respect to flow of the working fluid. A vortical flow is induced at the location in the refrigerant circuit disposed between the economizer and the evaporator.

    摘要: A refrigerant displacement device is used to reduce subcooler refrigerant charge while enhancing heat transfer performance, e.g. by maintaining and/or increasing subcooler performance. The refrigerant displacement device physically takes up volume of the subcooler that would normally be occupied by refrigerant. The refrigerant displacement device can be a baffle structure with orifices through which the subcooler's heat exchange tubes are allowed to be inserted. Refrigerant is still allowed, however, to flow through the remaining volume of the subcooler and through openings constructed as, e.g. annuluses, between the tube(s) and the refrigerant displacement device, so as to allow refrigerant flow from an inlet of the subcooler to an outlet of the subcooler.
