  • Patent number: 5331827
    Abstract: A condenser is positioned in high-pressure refrigerant line of a cooling system. The condenser is formed of thermally-conductive material defining a closed reservoir for accumulating liquid refrigerant. An inlet receives the refirgerant flow from the high-pressure line and an outlet discharges the accumulated liquid refrigerant to an expansion valve. The conduit within the reservoir conducts the refrigerant flow from the inlet to a region of the reservoir above the outlet. The conduit is apertured to direct substantially all of the refrigerant flow against upper portions of the condenser, specifically against one side of the condenser. That side of the condenser is exposed to the flow of cold fluid mecium (typically air) produced by the system to condense a gaseous component of the refrigeration flow.
