ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for the continuous separation of oil from the refrigerant in a vapor compression refrigeration apparatus. The separation is accomplished by centrifuging the liquid refrigerant, while cooling the refrigerant to facilitate the separation of the oil. There is also provided an oil still for removing and recovering any refrigerant remaining in the separated oil, and a heat exchanger is provided for initially cooling the refrigerant prior to being centrifuged, and heating the refrigerant after being centrifuged.
