The	refrigerant	suctioned	out	of	the	evaporator	(21)	is	compressed	by	the	4	cylinders	of	the	LP	stage	
(2)	to	intermediate	pressure	MP.	After	that,	the	superheated	refrigerant	flows	through	the	intermediate	
pressure	chamber	(3),	where	it	is	cooled	by	the	liquid	subcooler	system	to	reduce	the	discharge	end	
temperature.	The	 refrigerant	 then	 flows	 through	 the	 intermediate	 pressure	 line	 (4)	 to	 the	 electric	
motor of the compressor for to cool the motor. After this, the refrigerant is suctioned in by the two HP 
cylinders	(5)	and	compressed	to	the	final	pressure.
Liquid subcooler system
The	liquid	subcooler	system	consists	of	the	components
-	liquid	subcooler	(plate	heat	exchanger)	(6)
-	expansion	valve	(7)
-	sight	glasses	(8,	9)
-	solenoid	valve	(10)
-	filter	drier	(11)
After the refrigerant reciever (16), the liquid line will be splitted into two lines:
Line A	 leads	 through	 the	 liquid	 subcooler	 (6)	 and	 the	 subcooled	 refrigerant	 flows	 to	 the	 
evaporator	(21).	Through	
Line B refrigerant is expanding through the expansion valve (7) into the
liquid	subcooler	(6)	in	order	to	subcool	the	refrigerant	of	line	A	and	through	the	intermediate	pressure	
line	(MP)	to	cool	the	superheated	refrigerant,	which	is	compressed	from	low	pressure	to	intermediate	
pressure	chamber	(3).
