What is Flash Gas?

Flash-gas is refrigerant in gas form produced when condensed liquid is subjected to boiling. The presence of flash-gas reduces the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle

What is Refrigerant Slip?

Liquid and vapor move at different velocities because gravity has a greater influence on the liquid portion of the flow. Liquid refrigerant decelerates after passing through the expansion valve, but the vapor continues to travel at a higer velocity into and throughout the evaporator, significantly increasing the volume of vapor over liquid in the evaporator, reducing efficiency. 

FGC Solution

Our direct contact technology uses PCM to remove the heat absorbed by the refrigerant when forced thru the TEV, condensing it back to a liquid. By the time the refrigerant makes it completely thru the PCM Chamber, the refrigerant tubing is completely filled with liquid and the increased volume delivered to the evaporator dramatically increases the heat removal from the space.
