Abstract:
A system comprising a compressor coupled to a first coil through a first valve and a second coil through a second valve, wherein the first coil and the second coil are coupled to a third coil. The system further comprises a fan operable to blow ambient air across the first coil, a first expansion valve coupled to and positioned between the first coil and the third coil and a second expansion valve coupled to and positioned between the second coil and the third coil. The system comprises a controller operable to monitor a pressure of the refrigerant, operate the first expansion valve to reduce refrigerant flow into the first, and operate the second expansion valve to reduce refrigerant flow through the second coil.
