Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2251621A1] A refrigerant circuit (11) includes an oil separator (60) configured to separate oil from high pressure refrigerant, and an oil feed circuit (70) configured to feed the oil separated in the oil separator (60) to a compression mechanism (20) so as to cool the refrigerant in the course of a compression phase of the compression mechanism (20). The oil feed circuit (70) includes a recovery mechanism (40) configured to recover energy of the oil separated in the oil separator (60). In the compression mechanism (20), the refrigerant is cooled by the oil, thereby reducing power of the compression mechanism (20). Simultaneously, in the recovery mechanism (40), power required to increase pressure of the oil in the compression mechanism (20) is recovered.
