Abstract
A vapor compression system (20) comprises: a compressor (24) having a suction port (26) and a discharge port (28); a refrigerant flowpath (33) from the discharge port and returning to the suction port; a first heat exchanger (30) along the refrigerant flowpath; a second heat exchanger (50) along the refrigerant flowpath; and a vaporizer system (22; 300). The vaporizer system comprises: a first vaporizer (68A; 368A) and a second vaporizer (68B: 368B) each comprising: a vessel (86; 386) having an inlet (84), a vapor outlet (124), and a liquid outlet (130); and a gas bypass flowpath (160) in heat transfer relation with an interior of the vessel.
