The purpose of the present invention is to install an economizer having a sufficient internal volume in a compact turbo refrigeration apparatus specifically using a low-pressure refrigerant, and reduce refrigerant pressure loss and enhance efficiency in the turbo refrigeration apparatus. The turbo refrigeration apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a turbo compressor which compresses a refrigerant; a condenser which condenses the compressed refrigerant; a control valve which causes the condensed refrigerant to expand; an evaporator which causes the expanded refrigerant to evaporate; and an economizer which is installed in such a manner as to be sandwiched between the condenser and the evaporator, and separates the refrigerant expanded by the control valve into gas and liquid. The economizer is installed adjacent to a curved wall, having a drum shell shape, of the condenser and/or the evaporator, the curved wall being shared with the structural wall of the economizer. The economizer has a height (H) greater than the maximum width (W) thereof when viewed in the longitudinal direction thereof.

A system includes first and second compressors arranged in parallel, a condenser, expansion device, evaporator, and flow control device fluidly connected. The first compressor includes a first lubricant sump and the second compressor including a second lubricant sump. A lubricant transfer conduit fluidly connects the first lubricant sump and the second lubricant sump. The flow control device is disposed between the evaporator and the first and second compressors, and includes a fluid inlet and two fluid outlets. A first of the two fluid outlets is fluidly connected to the first compressor, a second of the two fluid outlets is fluidly connected to the second compressor. The second fluid outlet includes a nozzle disposed within a flow passage of the flow control device such that a space is maintained between an outer surface of the nozzle and an inner surface of the flow passage.

The invention relates to a removal device (10) for removing a fluid from a refrigeration system, comprising a cooling device (11), through which the fluid is to flow and which has a pipeline assembly (12), which has a plurality of pipeline elements (24, 26) connected to each other, a fluid inlet (28) arranged above the pipeline elements, and a fluid outlet (30) arranged below the pipeline elements, the removal device having a compressor (14), which is arranged before the cooling device (11) in the flow direction and through which the fluid can flow and which is connected to the fluid inlet (28), is easier to clean because the pipeline elements are each arranged at an inclination of an angle (alpha) from the horizontal in such a way that all fluid entering through the fluid inlet (28) is moved to the fluid outlet (30) by gravity.

A compressor includes an inlet and the inlet includes a flange and an impeller eye. The flange is connected to a suction line that transfers a refrigerant into the compressor via the impeller eye. The refrigerant flows into the compressor with an amount of swirl and a pressure loss. The suction line includes a geometry that includes a constantly decreasing cross-sectional area in a direction towards the compressor. The geometry of the suction line is configured to reduce the amount of swirl and the pressure loss.
