Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016027116A1] A chiller system is provided including a vapor compression circuit consisting of a fluidly coupled compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. A refrigerant circulates through the vapor compression circuit. The evaporator is a direct exchange heat exchanger. Refrigerant provided at an outlet of the evaporator is a two-phase mixture including liquid refrigerant and vapor refrigerant. The vapor refrigerant comprises less than or equal to 85% of the two-phase mixture. A refrigerant to refrigerant heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to the circuit. The refrigerant to refrigerant heat exchanger is configured to convert the vapor refrigerant provided at the outlet of the evaporator into a superheated vapor.
