Abstract:
1. A refrigeration system comprising: a compressor for receiving a vapor refrigerant and compressing the vapor refrigerant to form a compressed refrigerant; a condenser for receiving the compressed refrigerant, whereupon the compressed refrigerant is condensed to form a liquid refrigerant; an evaporator for receiving the liquid refrigerant, vaporizing at least a portion of the liquid refrigerant, thereby forming the vapor refrigerant and a remaining liquid refrigerant, and discharging the vapor refrigerant and the remaining liquid refrigerant; and a tank for receiving the vapor refrigerant and the remaining liquid refrigerant from the evaporator, the tank storing the remaining liquid refrigerant and discharging the vapor refrigerant, wherein the tank extends in a horizontal direction and includes wherein the inlet tube includes a tank section disposed within the tank, the tank section including a horizontal portion extending in the horizontal direction, and a bent portion adjacent to the horizontal portion and bent upward from the horizontal portion at the acute angle.
