The performance of a refrigeration system is often reduced due to insufficient refrigerant charge or due to the use of an inverter compressor. The performance loss is associated with the operating condition, which is not at the optimum, thus yielding less than the maximum EER (energy efficiency ratio). A vortex generator restores the optimum operating condition in the refrigeration system with insufficient refrigerant charge or using an inverter compressor.

1. A refrigerator system having a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator each component having an inlet and an outlet, arranged in succession and connected in a closed loop in order to circulate refrigerant through the closed loop wherein said refrigeration system has a charge of refrigerant less than full, thereby causing said refrigeration system to operate at less than peak efficiency, the refrigeration system further comprising:a vortex generator incorporated in and placed approximately one quarter of the way from the inlet of the condenser.
