A subcooling heat exchanger and subcooling expansion valve in a refrigeration system provide subcooling of a pre-subcooled portion, for refrigerating a thermal load, of condensed refrigerant liquid by a pre-subcooling portion of the condensed refrigerant liquid. The amount of subcooling of the pre-subcooled portion is determined by measuring, with a pressure sensor, refrigerating suction pressure exerted by refrigerating compressors of the system. A controller then controls, based on the refrigerating suction pressure, modulation of mass of pre-subcooling portion, relative pre-subcooled portion, and expansion thereof in the subcooling expansion valve, which controls the amount of refrigerant heat exchanged, and therefore subcooling of pre-subcooled portion, between the pre-subcooling portion and the pre-subcooled portion in the subcooling heat exchanger. The pre-subcooling portion is then subsequently compressed by a subcooling compressor.
