Abstract:
A method of operating an HVAC system comprising a first and second portion of evaporator circuits, the first portion being adapted to receive refrigerant from a first refrigerant path and the second portion being adapted to receive the refrigerant from a second refrigerant path. The method comprises determining a first value that is calculated based on a speed of an air blower and a total capacity of the HVAC system, and the air blower is operable to push a minimum volume of air in to the enclosed space. The method further comprises upon determining that the first value exceeds a cooling threshold or that the first value exceeds a dehumidification threshold, instructing a valve to close such that refrigerant cannot flow to the first portion of evaporator circuits.
