A method and apparatus for improving refrigeration and air conditioning efficiency for use with a heat exchange system having a compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, and circulating refrigerant. The apparatus includes is a liquid refrigerant containing vessel having a refrigerant entrance and a refrigerant exit with the vessel positioned in the heat exchange system between the condenser and the evaporator, and means for creating a turbulent flow of liquefied refrigerant. The apparatus further preferably includes a refrigerant bypass path to sub-cool a portion of the refrigerant within the vessel; a disk positioned at the liquid refrigerant entrance to develop a low pressure area on the back side and create a turbulent flow of refrigerant entering the vessel; and a refrigerant valve incorporated into the refrigerant path downstream of the expansion valve and before the coil which develops a vortex that continues through the refrigerant coil.

1. For use with a heat exchange system having a compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, and circulating refrigerant, an efficiency enhancing apparatus comprising: a liquid refrigerant containing vessel with a top region having a refrigerant entrance and a bottom region having a refrigerant exit, wherein said vessel is positioned in the heat exchange system between the condenser and the evaporator;means associated with said vessel for creating a turbulent flow of liquefied refrigerant; anda refrigerant bypass path to sub-cool a portion of the refrigerant within said vessel, said bypass path comprising a bypass tube extending into the center of said vessel. 2. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 1 wherein said bypass tube terminates in at least one bypass exit port. 3. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 2 wherein said bypass tube includes a heat exchanger. 4. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 1 wherein said turbulence creating means comprises a disk located proximate said refrigerant entrance, said disk permitting the passage of entering refrigerant; and a set of fixed angled blades formed in said disk, wherein said set of blades adds said turbulence to said entering refrigerant. 5. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 1 further including a refrigerant valve incorporated into the refrigerant path downstream of the expansion valve and before the coil which develops a vortex that continues through the refrigerant coil. 6. For use with a heat exchange system having a compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, and circulating refrigerant, an efficiency enhancing apparatus comprising: a generally cylindrical liquid refrigerant containing vessel with a top region having a refrigerant entrance and a bottom region with a refrigerant exit, said refrigerant entrance comprising a disc that includes an aperture, wherein said vessel is positioned in the heat exchange system between the condenser and the evaporator;first means for generating turbulence in the refrigerant associated with said top region;second means for generating turbulence in the refrigerant associated with said bottom region; anda refrigerant bypass path to sub-cool a portion of the refrigerant within said vessel, said bypass path comprising a bypass tube extending into the center of said vessel. 7. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 6 wherein said bypass tube terminates in at least one bypass exit port. 8. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 7 wherein said bypass tube includes a heat exchanger. 9. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 6 wherein said first means for generating turbulence comprises a disk located proximate said refrigerant entrance, said disk permitting the passage of entering refrigerant; and a set of fixed angled blades formed in said disk, wherein said set of blades adds said turbulence to said entering refrigerant. 10. The efficiency enhancing apparatus of claim 6 further including a refrigerant valve incorporated into the refrigerant path downstream of the expansion valve and before the coil which develops a vortex that continues through the refrigerant coil.
