Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008066530A2] A refrigeration system includes a compressor, first and second heat exchangers, and an expansion device. A refrigerant recirculating flowpath extends sequentially downstream through the compressor, first heat exchanger, expansion device, and second heat exchanger. The system includes a charge storage system. The charge storage system includes first and second refrigerant storage chambers. At least one valve is coupled to the storage chambers to permit the storage chambers to each be individually placed in alternative communication with the flowpath upstream and downstream of the expansion device.
