Flash Gas?

What do we do with this excess flash gas? We could use a large expansion valve and let it pass through. If we do this, then a portion of the evaporator is filled with vapour that has no refrigeration effect. The compressor then has to compress this gas that it has already compressed once. In short, we have to de-rate the compressor and the evaporator. The ideal solution would be to prevent the formation of flash gas.
