Abstract
A receiver for a refrigeration system includes an enclosure with an inlet for liquid refrigerant at a first end and an outlet for the liquid refrigerant at a second end. A heat exchanger with an inlet and an outlet for refrigerant vapor is surrounded by the enclosure. The heat exchanger includes baffles so that alternatingly positioned flow passages are positioned on opposing sides of the enclosure.
