Abstract
A vapor compression system including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. The evaporator includes a main distributor having an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet, a coil, the coil having an inlet connected with the first outlet of the main distributor, an outlet, and at least one opening, wherein the opening is located on a surface of the coil between the inlet and the outlet, and a feed line connecting the second outlet of the main distributor to the coil opening. The vapor compression system includes a discharge line connecting the compressor to the condenser, a liquid line connecting the condenser to the inlet of the expansion device, a saturated vapor line connecting the outlet of the expansion device to the inlet of the main distributor, and a suction line connecting the outlet of the coil to the compressor.
