Abstract
A compression machine includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and refrigerant. The refrigerant circulates between the compressor, the condenser, the expansion valve, and the evaporator. The evaporator includes a first plate heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. The second plate heat exchanger is arranged downstream of the first plate heat exchanger with respect to the refrigerant flow coming from the expansion valve. The plates of the first plate heat exchanger and the plates of the second plate heat exchanger are arranged vertically. The first plate heat exchanger and the second plate heat exchanger are connected according to the Tichelmann principle.
