  • the present disclosure relates generally to HVAC systems.
  • An HVAC system for example a chiller, includes a flash tank disposed between an evaporator and a condenser.

  • the vapor refrigerant is extracted from the flash tank and conveyed to a compressor.
  • the liquid refrigerant from the flash tank is conveyed to the evaporator.
  • Size of the flash tank is related to mass flow rate of vapor produced in the flash tank. As mass flow rate or capacity of the flash tank increases, size of flash tank also increases making it difficult to be accommodated in an HVAC system.
  • a typical flash tank has a vertical shell that allows partial evaporation of the condensate therewithin.
  • flash tanks possess certain drawbacks.
  • One of the major drawbacks is liquid carryover.

  • liquid carryover Along with vapor, liquid droplets may escape out of the shell. Liquid droplets mixed with vapor may damage internal components of the compressor as vapor extracted from the flash tank is conveyed to the compressor. Further, the liquid carryover results in decrease in amount of liquid refrigerant being extracted from the flash tank. This causes reduction in efficiency of the refrigeration system.
