Abstract: The improved refrigeration system also includes a tee having a stem portion extending horizontally from the condenser of the system, and a pair of upper and lower arms connected in a vertical orientation to the stem. The tee lower arm is connected to the receiver and the upper arm is connected to a purge connection.

Abstract: The improved refrigeration system of the present invention includes an accumulator with a diffuser pipe extending downwardly into the upper end of a vapor refrigerant tank, the diffuser pipe extending from an evaporator and discharging vapor refrigerant therefrom into the tank. The diffuser pipe includes a lower end located within the interior of the tank which is expanded in diameter relative to the upper end, thereby reducing the velocity of fluid flowing through the pipe and entering the accumulator tank. A diffusion plate is mounted in the lower end of the diffuser pipe, to further diffuse fluid flowing therethrough.

Abstract: A dry suction refrigeration system includes an evaporator fed with liquid refrigerant which discharges a vapor refrigerant to an accumulator. A compressor receives vapor refrigerant from the accumulator and compressies the vapor refrigerant. A condenser receives the compressed vapor refrigerant from the compressor and transforms the refrigerant into liquid refrigerant. A receiver receives the liquid refrigerant from the condenser and supplies it to the evaporator. The evaporator includes an electronic expansion valve operable to continuously monitor the evaporation of liquid refrigerant in the evaporator and to continuously meter the flow of liquid refrigerant, so as to cause a complete vaporization of the liquid refrigerant. Because the liquid refrigerant is completely evaporated, the vapor refrigerant is moved through the system by pressure differential alone.
