A vapor compression system includes a main vapor compression circuit having a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device and an evaporator serially connected by main refrigerant lines, the compressor having a suction port, a main discharge port and an intermediate port, and the main refrigerant lines being communicated with the main discharge port and the suction port; a bypass circuit communicated between the intermediate port and the suction portion; and a superheat sensing device positioned to sense superheat in a combined flow from the main vapor compression circuit and the bypass circuit. A method of operation of the system is also provided. The benefits of enhanced system and compressor performance, improved compressor reliability and extended system operating envelope are readily obtained. |
