    Abstract: A heating and cooling system includes an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser. A heat exchanger, which may be an outdoor heat exchanger, is configured to receive the refrigerant from the condenser, to selectively extract heat from or to add heat to the refrigerant, and to transfer the refrigerant to the evaporator. First control valving, disposed between the condenser and the heat exchanger, is configured to regulate flow of the refrigerant from the condenser to the heat exchanger in a first mode of operation. Second control valving, disposed between the condenser and the heat exchanger, is configured to regulate flow of the refrigerant from the heat exchanger to the evaporator in a second mode of operation. The system may be operated in a variety of modes by appropriate control of the valving and other system components.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a refrigeration system that includes an evaporator disposed along an evaporator line, a compressor system disposed along a compressor line, a condenser disposed along a condenser line and configured to condense the refrigerant compressed by the compressor system to heat a second fluid stream, and an outdoor coil disposed along a coil line and configured to receive the refrigerant from the condenser or from a discharge line, to selectively transfer heat to or from the refrigerant, and to selectively transfer the refrigerant to the evaporator or to a suction line. The refrigeration system includes two valves and three expansion valves disposed along the different refrigerant flow lines, and a controller configured to determine a simultaneous heating/cooling operating mode of the refrigeration system and to control the valves and expansion valves to operate the refrigeration system in the desired mode.

    Abstract: Air cooled chillers have auxiliary heat recovery systems that include a heat recovery heat exchanger for transferring heat from a compressed refrigerant to a process fluid. According to certain embodiments, the air cooled chillers also includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and a controller to govern operations of the expansion device, a fan in the condenser, and other components of the chiller system. The controller may receive signals from temperature and pressure sensors located throughout the chiller system in order to determine a heat recovery load of the heat recovery heat exchanger. The controller may govern operations of the condenser fan and the expansion device according to a low heat recovery mode, an intermediate heat recovery mode, or a full heat recovery mode. In full heat recovery mode, the controller operates the expansion device based on subcooling detected in the heat recovery heat exchanger.
