Patent attributes
A system may include first and second compressors, first and second heat exchangers, a flash tank, and first, second and third fluid paths. The first compressor may include first and second inlets. The second compressor may receive fluid from an outlet of the first compressor. The first heat exchanger may receive fluid from the second compressor. The flash tank may receive fluid from the first heat exchanger and includes a vapor outlet and a liquid outlet. The second heat exchanger may be in fluid communication with the flash tank and may receive fluid from the liquid outlet. The first fluid path extends from an outlet of the second heat exchanger to an inlet of the second compressor. The second fluid path extends from the vapor outlet to the first fluid path. The third fluid path may transmit fluid from the vapor outlet to the second inlet.
