Abstract
A refrigeration system comprises an evaporator overfed with liquid refrigerant and discharging a mixture of vapor refrigerant and liquid refrigerant; a compressor for compressing vapor refrigerant discharged from the evaporator; a condenser receiving compressed vapor refrigerant from the compressor for transforming it into liquid refrigerant; and a receiver receiving the liquid refrigerant from the condenser and supplying it to the evaporator. A separator receiving the refrigerant discharged from the evaporator separates the-vapor refrigerant for the compressor from the liquid refrigerant for recirculation. A feeder stores the pressurized liquid refrigerant and overfeeds the evaporator therewith. An educer feeds liquid refrigerant from the separator to the feeder using liquid refrigerant from the receiver as pressurizing agent.
