Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008115227A1] A refrigerant system incorporates a variable capacity expander. A bypass line selectively bypasses at least a portion of the refrigerant approaching the expander to the intermediate expansion point within the expander. In this manner, the refrigerant expansion process is controlled more efficiently than in the prior art.
