摘要：A heat exchange assembly and apparatus and method employing the heat

exchange assembly are provided. The heat exchange assembly includes a coolant-to-refrigerant heat exchanger and a heater. The heat exchanger includes a coolant inlet anda coolant outlet for passing a coolant through the heat exchanger, and a refrigerant inletand a refrigerant outlet for separately passing a refrigerant through the heat exchanger.The heat exchanger cools coolant passing through the heat exchanger by dissipatingheat from coolant passing through the heat exchanger to refrigerant passing throughthe heat exchanger. The heater is integrated with the heat exchanger and applies anauxiliary heat load to refrigerant passing through the heat exchanger to facilitate

ensuring that refrigerant passing through the heat exchanger absorbs at least a specifiedminimum heat load, for example, to ensure that refrigerant egressing from therefrigerant outlet of the heat exchanger is superheated vapor refrigerant.
