Claim 4:
5. The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a secondary evaporator fluidly coupled to the fixed expansion device, configured to:
receive the first portion of the first condensed refrigerant from the fixed expansion device;
evaporate the first portion of the first condensed refrigerant into a gaseous state; and
output the evaporated refrigerant in the gaseous state;

a secondary condenser fluidly coupled to the secondary evaporator, configured to:
receive the evaporated refrigerant;
condense the evaporated refrigerant from the gaseous state into the liquid state; and
output a second condensed refrigerant in the liquid state; and

an orifice fluidly coupled to the secondary condenser and the variable expansion device, configured to:
receive the second condensed refrigerant;
receive the second portion of the first condensed refrigerant from the variable expansion device;
combine the second condensed refrigerant and the second portion of the first condensed refrigerant; and
output the combined refrigerant at a fixed flow rate.
