Abstract (en)
A refrigeration system has a high efficiency free-draining evaporator incorporated therein. Refrigerant compressed by a compressor and condensed by a condenser flows to the evaporator via expansion means, such as a capillary tube. The evaporator includes a conduit having an inlet at a higher elevation than an outlet. The conduit is free from obstructions and portions which can inhibit free gravitational drainage of the liquid phase of refrigerant flowing from the evaporator into a phase separator positioned below the evaporator. <IMAGE>
