Hi Mayan.
Are you viewing this "water" (I see where you are going Rob!) through a site glass with a centrif compressor
above the evaporator?
The question is relevant, given the little amount of information you give.

Section 23.4.1 on page 6

There is a good explanation.

Basically it gives the refrigerant space to help liquid droplets settle.

What he said :)

It's extra space to prevent liquid droplets to follow the gas stream into the compressor.

on coolers with a full set of tubes in the shell you will have an "expansion" tank on top like in this picture:
