Abstract (en)

A household refrigerator (10) includes a freezer compartment (13) and a fresh food (14) compartment. The refrigerant system includes a compressor (23), a condenser (22), a first capillary tube (26) and a refrigerant phase separator (27) connected in series refrigerant flow relationship. A fresh food evaporator (21) to refrigerate the fresh food compartment (14) is connected to receive both vapor and liquid phase refrigerant from the phase separator (27) and to discharge refrigerant to the compressor (40). A freezer evaporator (20) to refrigerate the freezer compartment (13) is connected to receive liquid phase refrigerant from the phase separator (27) and to discharge refrigerant to the compressor (40). <IMAGE>
