Abstract
A refrigeration system comprising an evaporator, and a method of operating a refrigeration system. The evaporator comprises: a first fluid volume upstream of a second fluid volume, and a plurality of channels fluidly connecting the first fluid volume and the second fluid volume. The system further comprises a flow restrictor arranged to prevent fluid flow through at least a first channel of the plurality of channels in response to a pressure difference between the first fluid volume and the second fluid volume being less than a predetermined threshold, and to permit fluid flow through the first channel in response to the pressure difference being greater than the predetermined threshold.
