Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to air intake filter assemblies, and more particularly to air intake assemblies for an outdoor portion of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. In an embodiment, a filter assembly is configured to filter an airflow entering an air intake of a HVAC unit. The filter assembly includes a first layer of a first coarse mesh, a second layer of a second coarse mesh, and a fine filter disposed between the first layer and the second layer. Additionally, the fine filter includes an upper level and a lower level with respect to the airflow, and wherein the lower level facilitates accumulation of fine debris captured from the airflow entering the air intake of the HVAC unit.

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 generally to air intake filter assemblies, and more particularly to air intake assemblies for an outdoor portion of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. In an embodiment, a filter assembly is configured to filter an airflow entering an air intake of a HVAC unit. The filter assembly includes a support structure and a plurality of filter slats, each having a fine filtration material, each disposed within the support structure, and wherein the plurality of filter slats is configured in a louvered relationship and actuated between a closed configuration through which the airflow passes and an open configuration through which the airflow passes.

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.
