Zusammenfassung:A refrigeration circuit (10) is provided with a guench line (30) connecting the liquid line (18) and the suction line (26) and containing a quench expansion valve (32). The quench expansion valve (32) is controlled responsive to the superheat of the refrigerant supplied to the compressor (12). By injecting liquid refrigerant downstream of the suction modulation valve (28) and the sensor for the thermal expansion valve (20), the system can be operated at low capacity without overheating the compressor oil.
