Zusammenfassung: | A dual reclaim coil with a smart control application is provided that allows the refrigerant inlet to the HVAC unit switch between the two sides of the condenser for heat reclaim for refrigerants such as CO2 which have a relatively low critical temperature compared to hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants. Heat reclaim after the exit of gas from the condenser utilizes the high temperature and pressure of the condenser/gas cooler outlet while a CO2 refrigerant system is operating above critical point. This occurs in hot ambient conditions, when the need for heating in the space is not as great as in the wintertime and the available heat at the condenser/gas cooler's outlet is sufficient to satisfy the heating load. When the CO2 refrigerant system is operating below the critical point, heat reclaim is carried out at the compressor discharge. |
