The invention relates to a charge compensator for a heat pump. Specifically, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a vapor compression cycle including a heat exchanger and an expansion device arranged in fluid communication with the heat exchanger. The fluid is configured to circulate in a first direction within the vapor compression cycle during a first mode and is configured to circulate in a second, opposite direction within the vapor compression cycle during a second mode. The receiver is fluidly coupled to the vapor compression cycle at a connection point. A connection point is positioned between the heat exchanger and the expansion device, and the receiver is positioned vertically above the connection point. 本发明涉及用于热泵的充注补偿器。具体而言，一种加热、通风和空调(HVAC)系统包括蒸气压缩循环，该蒸气压缩循环包括热交换器和布置成与热交换器流体连通的膨胀装置。流体构造成在第一模式期间在蒸气压缩循环内沿第一方向循环，并且构造成在第二模式期间在蒸气压缩循环内沿第二相反方向循环。接收器在连接点处流体地联接到蒸气压缩循环。连接点定位在热交换器与膨胀装置之间，并且接收器竖直地定位在连接点上方。
