[0041] The refrigerant vapor is compressed by the compressor 5 and discharged into the oil separator, and the oil separator separates the oil inside the compressor 5 and the compressed refrigerant vapor;
[0042] The separated oil enters the plate heat exchanger 6 for cooling, while the refrigerant vapor enters the condenser for cooling. After condensation in the condenser, the refrigerant vapor is converted into refrigerant liquid;
[0043] The condensed refrigerant liquid enters the siphon tank 2, and most of the refrigerant is sucked into the liquid storage tank through the siphon effect; the liquid storage tank can pass the refrigerant liquid through the liquid supply filter barrel through the liquid outlet pipe 15 and then enter the economizer for secondary cooling, and then supply it to the evaporator in the cold storage;
[0044] A small part of the refrigerant will enter the plate heat exchanger 6 to cool the oil separated by the oil separator. After cooling, it will be filtered by the oil separator and then return to the compressor 5 to complete the cycle.
[0045] The above components in the unit are all installed on the unit frame 7 for fixation;

[0061] By opening a strip-shaped hole 71 at a position corresponding to the unit frame 7, space for flexibly adjusting the position of the liquid reservoir can be provided.
[0062] Example 2
[0063] This embodiment is different from the embodiment 1 in that, in this embodiment, the bracket 17 includes a connecting piece 18, such as Figure 5 As shown;
[0064] The connecting piece 18 is formed with an arc adapted to the surface of the tank body 11, such as Figure 5 As shown;
[0065] The connecting piece 18 is correspondingly attached to the surface of the tank body 11 , and the supporting leg 17 is connected to the tank body 11 through the connecting piece 18 , which can increase the contact area of the connection between the supporting leg 17 and the tank body 11 and improve the connection stability.
