SECONDARY LOOP COOLING SYSTEM HAVING A BYPASS AND A METHOD FOR BYPASSING A RESERVOIR IN THE SYSTEM

摘要

An air conditioning or refrigeration system includes a secondary loop cooling (110) system for use with a vapor compression system (120) having a bypass line (148) in order to bypass a reservoir (138) in the secondary loop system. This bypass allows the air conditioning or refrigeration system to cool down more quickly. The secondary loop cooling system uses a non-flammable cooling fluid, which is particularly useful when the refrigerant used in the vapor compression system is flammable.
