A compressor may include a shell, a first scroll, and a second scroll. The shell may include a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet. The first scroll may include a first end plate and a first spiral wrap. The second scroll may include a second end plate and a second spiral wrap, the first and second spiral wraps cooperating to define a series of moving compression pockets therebetween. The moving compression pockets decrease in volume as the moving compression pockets move from a radially outer position to a radially inner position. The moving compression pockets may receive working fluid from the first inlet at the radially outer position and provide working fluid to the outlet at the radially inner position. The second end plate may include a fluid cavity receiving working fluid from the second inlet and fluidly isolated from working fluid within the moving compression pockets.

A part of a gas-phase mixed refrigerant compressed by a compressor (20) is condensed by a first condenser (21). Then, the mixed refrigerant is separated by a first gas-liquid separator (22) into a gas-phase first fluid portion (I) and a liquid-phase second fluid portion (II) which has been condensed into a liquid phase. A part of the gas-phase first fluid portion (I) is further condensed by a second condenser (23). Then, the first fluid portion is further separated by a second gas-liquid separator (24) into a gas-phase third fluid portion (III) and a liquid-phase fourth fluid portion (IV) which has been condensed into a liquid phase. Thereafter, the gas-phase third fluid portion (III) is condensed and then expanded.
