Abstract: In a single circuit refrigeration plant, a refrigerant gas stream while flowing in the circuit is compressed by a compressor, circulated from the pressure side of the compressor through a condenser, then an evaporator and finally back to the suction side of the compressor. A housing is provided having two concentrically located contiguous compartments. Of these, the first compartment is interposed between the pressure side of the compressor and the condenser. The second compartment is interposed between the first compartment and the refrigerant gas return line to the suction side of the compressor. In the first compartment, the compressed refrigerant is degassed and forwarded to the condenser and the separated oil, still having some gas dissolved in it is forwarded under pressure to the second compartment.

Abstract: The single circuit refrigeration plant includes a housing which provides three concentrically located contiguous compartments including a first one interposed between the pressure side of the compressor and the condenser, a second one interposed between the first and the third, the third compartment being interposed between the second compartment and the evaporator. The first compartment is axially centrally located; it is directly ringed by the third compartment and is also ringed by the second compartment.
