    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a climate management system that includes a heat exchanger having a first set of microchannel coils fluidly coupled to a first circuit of the climate management system and a second set of microchannel coils fluidly coupled to a second circuit of the climate management system, where the first circuit and the second circuit are fluidly separate from one another, and where the first set of microchannel coils and the second set of microchannel coils are disposed in an alternating arrangement along a length of the heat exchanger such that the first set of microchannel coils and the second set of microchannel coils are interlaced in the heat exchanger.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system having a refrigerant circuit that includes a compressor, a condenser system with a first set of tubes and a second set of tubes fluidly separate from the first set of tubes within the condenser system, and a valve positioned downstream of the compressor and upstream of the second set of tubes relative to a direction of refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit, in which the refrigerant circuit is configured to direct refrigerant through the first set of tubes and through the second set of tubes. The HVAC system further has a pressure switch configured to detect a discharge pressure of the compressor and to instruct the valve to close based on the discharge pressure being below a threshold pressure such that refrigerant flow is blocked through the second set of tubes and refrigerant flow is enabled through the first set of tubes.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system that has a first circuit and a second circuit that each have a compressor and a condenser, a conduit extending from the second circuit downstream of the condenser to the first circuit upstream of the compressor, a valve along the conduit that may manage flow therethrough, and a controller that may operate the HVAC system in a first mode such that each circuit separately circulates the refrigerant in each circuit and transition to a second mode such that refrigerant-sharing occurs between the circuits. In response to a request to transition from the second mode to the first mode, the controller may determine an amount of refrigerant subcooling, compare the amount to a threshold value associated with the first mode, and instruct opening of the valve upon a determination that the amount is less than the threshold value.

    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes a refrigerant circuit including a reheat coil and a condenser system, a first valve disposed along the refrigerant circuit and configured to modulate refrigerant flow to the reheat coil and to the condenser system, and a second valve disposed along the refrigerant circuit downstream of the first valve relative to a direction of the refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit. The condenser system includes a first condenser coil and a second condenser coil, and the second valve is configured to be actuated to control refrigerant flow to the second condenser coil.
