Abstract:
A vapor compression system includes a first conduit fluidly coupling a liquid collection portion of a condenser and an evaporator, where the first conduit is configured to direct a first flow of refrigerant from the condenser to a first inlet of the evaporator and a second conduit fluidly coupling the liquid collection portion of the condenser and the evaporator, where the second conduit is configured to direct a second flow of refrigerant from the condenser to a second inlet of the evaporator via gravitational force, and where the first inlet is disposed above the second inlet relative to a vertical dimension of the evaporator.

Claim (Index 15):
A vapor compression system, comprising:\n a condenser configured to receive a refrigerant from a compressor in a gaseous phase, wherein the condenser is configured to condense the refrigerant from the gaseous phase into a liquid phase via heat transfer from the refrigerant to a first working fluid; an evaporator fluidly coupled to the condenser via a first conduit and via a second conduit, wherein the evaporator is configured to vaporize the refrigerant from the liquid phase into the gaseous phase via heat transfer from a second working fluid to the refrigerant; and a controller configured to regulate operation of the vapor compression system to direct the refrigerant into the evaporator via the first conduit, the second conduit, or both when a liquid refrigerant level in the condenser is outside of a threshold range of values.
