Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are presented that enable a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to store refrigerant within a reheat circuit. In one instance, the HVAC system includes a valve, having a first position and a second position, configured to selectively control a flow of refrigerant into a reheat coil. When in the second position, the valve enables a hot refrigerant to flow from a compressor through the reheat coil. When in the first position, the valve stops the hot refrigerant from flowing through the reheat coil but still allows refrigerant to circulate through the closed-conduit refrigeration circuit. In the first position, refrigerant remains stored in the reheat circuit, which includes the reheat coil. Other systems and methods are presented.
