Abstract:
A method for controlling a vapour compression system ( 1 ) is disclosed. The vapour compression system ( 1 ) comprises an ejector ( 6 ) and a liquid separating device ( 10 ) arranged in a suction line. At least one evaporator ( 9 ) is allowed to be operated in a flooded state. A flow rate of refrigerant from the liquid separating device ( 10 ) to the secondary inlet ( 15 ) of the ejector ( 6 ) is detected, and it is determined whether or not the flow rate is sufficient to remove liquid refrigerant produced by the evaporator(s) ( 9 ) being allowed to be operated in a flooded state from the liquid separating device ( 10 ). In the case that it is determined that the flow rate of refrigerant from the liquid separating device ( 10 ) to the secondary inlet ( 15 ) of the ejector ( 6 ) is insufficient to remove liquid refrigerant produced by the evaporator(s) ( 9 ), the flow rate of refrigerant from the liquid separating device ( 10 ) to the secondary inlet ( 15 ) of the ejector ( 6 ) is increased, and/or a flow rate of liquid refrigerant from the evaporator(s) ( 9 ) to the liquid separating device ( 10 ) is decreased.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of increasing the flow rate of refrigerant from the liquid separating device to the secondary inlet of the ejector comprises increasing a pressure of refrigerant leaving the heat rejecting heat exchanger and entering a primary inlet of the ejector.
