VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM FOR COOLING COMPONENTS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

Abstract:

A vapor cycle system for cooling components includes a refrigeration circuit through which a mass of a refrigerant flows. The refrigeration circuit, in turn, includes a compressor, a first condenser, a second condenser fluidly coupled to the first condenser in series or in parallel, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. Furthermore, the system includes a refrigerant charge control device configured to increase or decrease the mass of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration circuit.
