Heat exchanger system

Abstract

A heat exchanger system is provided with at least one heat exchanger for heating the suction gas between the evaporator and the compressor inlet, which heat exchanger is heated by the refrigerant liquid. It is the object to achieve dry suction gas from a flooded evaporator. It is an object to achieve heat exchange with a minimum flow restriction. The objects can be fulfilled by a heat exchanger including a circulating path for the suction gas and for the refrigerant liquid. Hereby it can be achieved that the circulating path forms a highly effective heat exchanger. The circulating path can be achieved with a very large heat-transmitting surface. The circulation of the suction gas will force liquid particles in the suction gas to be forced outside in the circulating path and in that way come in direct thermal contact with the surface that separates the suction gas from the refrigerant liquid.
