Patent number: 4373348Abstract: A refrigeration system having an increasing efficiency of operation and reduction in power consumption. Low head pressure and subcooling the liquid refrigerant emitted from the remote condenser, the efficiency of operation of the compressor of the refrigeration system can be substantially increased. The particular type of refrigeration system of concern generally includes a compressor for compressing a gaseous refrigerant, a condenser for condensing the gaseous refrigerant and subcooling the liquid refrigerant, a receiver for receiving the liquid and a plurality of display cases having evaporators for evaporating the liquid refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant passing through the condenser is first condensed into a liquid at a condensing temperature of approximately 10.degree. to 25.degree. F. above a preselected cooling temperature. The condensed liquid is then subcooled to the preselected cooling temperature which should be preferably either approximately 50.degree. F.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1981Date of Patent: February 15, 1983Assignee: Tyler Refrigeration CorporationInventors: Fayez Ibrahim, Edward Bowman
