    Are you saying the shell and tube is only
    half full of water?

    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.

    See

    http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/courses/Webc...cture%2023.pdf

    Section 23.4.1 on page 6

    There is a good explanation.

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

    Regards

    Rob

    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:
