<p>The stream of suction gas and entrained oil flowing from the evaporator in a parallel compressor refrigeration system is directed into a flow separator where it diverges and is expanded into a separation chamber of increased cross-sectional area. A takeoff conduit has an inlet end disposed generally in the center of the separation chamber which faces into the suction gas flow stream. Because of the location and size of the cross-sectional area of the inlet end of the takeoff conduit, a larger portion of the suction gas flow stream and oil entrained therein bypasses the takeoff conduit inlet than enters it. The separation chamber is in flow communication, at its outlet end, with the shell of the one of the compressors which is designated to receive a majority of the suction gas and oil entrained therein. The takeoff conduit is in flow communication with the other of the compressors.</p> |
