What are you going to achieve? Do you have solenoids and hand expansion valves for LP and IP receivers?
I need to re-read my post before posting
I missed the R out of the BPV. I will ammend that too.
Yes, hand expansion + soleniod valves for both receivers and you are right, at less than 75% the econ flash gas goes to suction.

Sometimes someone has a bright idea in design but no one can understand it without explanation .
Where was system designed , NZ ?
The site manual states the BPRV between economiser and suction is there to provide a pressure difference at all times ie: when low load and compressor unloads and economiser to compressor BPRV is de-energised. The only settings in the manual is this 190kpa economiser pressure. I think the econ to suction BPRV was put in later as it's not on the drawings.
It's a NZ company installation but the design?
