Abstract
A vapor compression cycle device is described which includes a multi-component working fluid mixture, a high-pressure liquid accumulator with an associated flow restricting device positioned between the condensing heat exchanger and the evaporating heat exchanger, and a low-pressure liquid accumulator positioned between the evaporating heat exchanger and the compressor. A method is also described of modulating the capacity of such a device.
