Patent attributes
An evaporator header can include a header body having one or more walls that define an inner cavity configured to receive a first flow of refrigerant from a plurality of evaporator flow paths. A liquid line portion can extend through the inner cavity, can define a liquid line flow path that is fluidly separated from the inner cavity, and can be configured to receive a second flow of refrigerant. A plurality of apertures can extend through the one or more walls of the header body. The evaporator head can include a plurality of flow path connectors, and each can be configured to facilitate at least some of the first flow of refrigerant from a corresponding evaporator flow path of the plurality of evaporator flow paths, into the inner cavity via a corresponding aperture of the plurality of apertures, and across at least some of the liquid line portion.
