  • Compressor flow restrictor
    Patent number: 11892211
    Abstract: A climate-control system may include a first compressor, a second compressor, a suction manifold, and a flow restrictor. The first and second compressors each include a shell and a compression mechanism. The shells define suction chambers from which the compression mechanisms draw working fluid. The shells include suction inlet fittings through which working fluid is drawn into the suction chambers. The suction inlet fittings are fluidly connected to the suction manifold. The suction manifold provides suction-pressure working fluid to the suction inlet fittings of the first and second compressors. The flow restrictor may be at least partially disposed within the suction manifold.
