Abstract

A compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator are interconnected in a refrigeration circuit, the evaporator discharging the refrigerant toward the compressor as a two-phase flow which is a mixture of liquid particles and superheated vapor. A flow disturbing element is located in the circuit downstream from the evaporator and operates to give the two flowing phases an increased mutual relative speed.
