Abstract
A refrigeration system includes a compressor operable to produce a flow of compressed refrigerant. The refrigeration system includes a flow splitter positioned to split the flow of compressed refrigerant into a first flow that flows along a first flow path and a second flow that flows along a second flow path. An expansion device is positioned in the second flow path and is operable to reduce the temperature of the second flow. A heat exchanger has a first side that receives the first flow and a second side that receives the second flow such that the second flow cools the first flow.
