ABSTRACT:
An oil separator for an evaporator in a cooling system is installed between a capillary tube and the evaporator for separating oil from the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator. The oil separator comprises an inflow member connected to the capillary tube, for receiving the oil-containing refrigerant therefrom. A refrigerant outflow member is connected between the inflow member and an inlet of the evaporator, for conducting the refrigerant upward to the inlet of the evaporator. An oil outflow member is disposed between the inflow member and an outlet of the evaporator, for conducting the oil downward to an outlet of the evaporator. The oil separator prevents oil from flowing into the evaporator, thereby preventing accumulation of the oil inside the evaporator which could reduce the amount of oil disposed inside a compressor of the cooling system.
