The purpose of the heat exchanger is two fold:
1. To evaporate "slop over" (excess liquid not evaporated in the evaporator) in the suction line, thereby preventing liquid from entering the compressor.
2. To further sub-cool the liquid in the liquid line, thus improving system capacity.
Heat exchangers are designed simply by bringing the liquid line and suction line piping in contact with each other.
