Abstract
A subcooler is provided in heat exchange relationship with the high pressure liquid refrigerant line flowing to the indoor coil, such that when a low pressure condition is sensed on the low pressure side of the system, the subcooler flashes a portion of the liquid refrigerant to the low pressure side to thereby maintain suction pressure to the compressor, while at the same time subcooling the liquid refrigerant flowing to the fan coil to thereby increase its efficiency.
