- the liquid refrigerant is supplied from the receiver 230 to the refrigerant passage 291 in order to generate the low-temperature and low-pressure mist refrigerant in the expansion valve 260. Therefore, in order to ensure the cooling capacity, it is necessary to sufficiently store the refrigerant liquid in the receiver 230.
