A refrigeration system comprises a compressor, a condenser, a throttle device, and an evaporator that is the heat exchanger. The compressor, condenser, throttle device, and evaporator are connected sequentially, and at least part of refrigerant flowing out of an outlet of the condenser enters into the flow member to exchange heat with a refrigerant flowing out of an outlet of the evaporator.

Abstract: A refrigerant distributor for a heat exchanger is disclosed. The refrigerant distributor comprises: a pipe for distributing a refrigerant, the pipe having a channel therein in which the refrigerant flows. The channel has at least one portion having reduced cross-section area. With the above configuration, the distributor relieves the layering of refrigerant flowing in a distributing pipe and mixes the vapor-liquid refrigerant relatively uniformly.

Abstract: A micro-channel heat exchanger includes an inlet manifold fluidly connected with an outlet manifold by a plurality of generally parallel tubes, further defining a plurality of generally parallel micro-channels therethrough. Refrigerant is introduced to the heat exchanger through a distributor tube disposed within the inlet manifold. The distributor tube includes a plurality of non-circular openings disposed along the length thereof which act as an outlet for refrigerant flow into the inlet manifold and eventually into and through the tubes and micro-channels. The openings are preferably slots arranged along the length of the distributor tube at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the distributor tube and oriented within the inlet manifold for a general direction of refrigerant flow at an angle relative to the general direction of refrigerant flow through the tubes. Alternative shapes for the openings are also considered.
