A transcritical vapor compression system that includes a fluid circuit circulating a refrigerant in a closed loop. The fluid circuit has operably disposed therein, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a first capillary tube and a second heat exchanger. The compressor compresses the refrigerant from a low pressure to a supercritical pressure. The first heat exchanger is positioned in a high pressure side of the fluid circuit and the second heat exchanger is positioned in a low pressure side of the fluid circuit. The first capillary tube reduces the pressure of the refrigerant from a supercritical pressure to a relatively lower pressure. The refrigerant flows through the first capillary tube at its critical velocity and means for controlling the temperature of the refrigerant in the first capillary tube are provided.

What is claimed is: 1. A transcritical vapor compression system comprising: a fluid circuit circulating a refrigerant in a closed loop, said fluid circuit having operably disposed therein, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a first capillary tube and a second heat exchanger wherein said compressor compresses the refrigerant from a low pressure to a supercritical pressure, said first heat exchanger is positioned in a high pressure side of said fluid circuit and said second heat exchanger is positioned in a low pressure side of said fluid circuit, said first capillary tube reducing the pressure of the refrigerant from a supercritical pressure to a relatively lower pressure and wherein the refrigerant is passed through said first capillary tube at a velocity having a maximum value substantially equivalent to a critical flow velocity of the refrigerant; means for controlling the temperature of the refrigerant in said first capillary tube; and second capillary tube operably disposed in said fluid circuit between said first capillary tube and said second heat exchanger and a flash gas vessel operably disposed in said fluid circuit between said first and second capillary tubes, said compressor comprising a first compressor mechanism and a second compressor mechanism, and wherein a fluid line provides fluid communication from said flash as vessel to a point between said first and second compressor mechanisms, said fluid line including a third capillary tube. 2. The transcritical vapor compression system of claim 1, wherein said means for controlling the temperature is a heating device. 3. The transcritical vapor compression system of claim 1, wherein said means for controlling the temperature is a cooling device. 4. A transcritical vapor compression system comprising: a fluid circuit circulating a refrigerant in a closed loop, said fluid circuit having operably disposed therein, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a first capillary tube and a second heat exchanger wherein said compressor compresses the refrigerant from a low pressure to a supercritical pressure, said first heat exchanger is positioned in a high pressure side of said fluid circuit and said second heat exchanger is positioned in a low pressure side of said fluid circuit, said first capillary tube reducing the pressure of the refrigerant from a supercritical pressure to a relatively lower pressure and wherein the refrigerant is passed through the first capillary tube at a velocity having a maximum value substantially equivalent to a critical flow velocity of the refrigerant; thermal means disposed in thermal exchange with said first capillary tube for adjusting the temperature of said refrigerant in said first capillary tube, whereby the mass flow rate of said refrigerant through said first capillary tube is correspondingly adjusted; and a second capillary tube operably disposed in said fluid circuit between said first capillary tube and said second heat exchanger and a flash gas vessel operably disposed in said fluid circuit between said first and second capillary tubes, said compressor comprising a first compressor mechanism and a second compressor mechanism, and wherein a fluid line provides fluid communication from said flash gas vessel to a point between said first and second compressor mechanisms, said fluid line including a third capillary tube. 5. The transcritical vapor compression system of claim 4, wherein said thermal means is a heating device. 6. The transcritical vapor compression system of claim 5, wherein said thermal means is a cooling device.
