<p>A refrigeration system comprises a compressor (1), a condensor (2), a receiver (3) and an evaporator (4), each having an inlet and an outlet, and a separator (5) having an inlet and a first and a second outlet, connected to each other conventionally. The separator (5) is positioned laterally of the evaporator (4) and closer thereto than to the compressor (1). A controller (26) ensures overfeed of the evaporator (4) by regulating the feed rate of liquid refrigerant from the receiver (3) such that the separator (5) is feeding the evaporator (4) with liquid refrigerant in proportion to demand and safeguarding the desired overfeed. The separator (5) comprises a cylindrical container (19) having two outlets (7, 8) and an inlet (6) for separating the vapor and liquid components of a refrigerant. The inlet (6) is directed tangentially into the cylindrical container (19). A foraminous partition (23) is positioned inside the container (19) and extends downwardly of the inlet (6) and inwardly of the inner surface of the container (19) for delimiting the central space and the peripheral space of the container (19) from each other.</p> |
