In a refrigeration system having a cooler with liquid refrigerant therein, a heat exchanger (19) is provided above the heat transfer tubes (13) so as to interrupt any liquid refrigerant droplets (18) that tend to be entrained in the refrigerant vapor as it is boiled off from the heat transfer tubes and caused to pass upwardly to the compressor suction inlet (14). The liquid droplets that collect on the heat exchanger are boiled off with the resultant refrigerant vapor passing on to the compressor suction inlet. The heat exchanger medium passing through the heat exchanger can be the cooling fluid that subsequently passes through the heat transfer tubes, or it may be condensate (39) that is received from the condenser (20). <IMAGE> |
