Low pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator and is evaporated and superheated by the heat energy absorbed from the chilled water passing through the evaporator shell. Low pressure vapor enters the compressor where pressure and superheat are increased. High pressure vapor is passed through the oil separator where compressor oil is removed and recirculated to the compressor via the condenser. The high pressure oil-free vapor is fed to the air cooled condenser coil where the heat is removed. On economized models, the fully condensed liquid enters the economizer.

A small percentage of the of the liquid passes through an expansion valve, into the other side of the economizer where it is evaporated. This low pressure liquid subcools the major part of the refrigerant. Medium pressure vapor then returns to the compressor. The subcooled refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve where pressure is reduced and further cooling takes place before return- ing to the evaporator.
