    Abstract: An HVAC system can include a multiport valve for controlling refrigerant circulation that permits refrigerant flow in a first direction through an interior heat exchanger and in a first direction through an auxiliary heat exchanger and at least one additional configuration in which refrigerant flows in a second direction through at least one of the interior heat exchanger and the auxiliary heat exchanger. The at least one configuration can include a second configuration in which refrigerant flows in the first direction through the interior heat exchanger and in the second direction through the auxiliary heat exchanger and a third configuration in which refrigerant flows in the second direction through the interior heat exchanger and the auxiliary heat exchanger.
