  • Publication number: 20260034861
    Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for operating an air-reversible heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in one or more operational modes. A system includes a refrigerant loop including a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion device, a second heat exchanger. The system can include a chamber thermally coupled with the first and/or the second heat exchanger. The system includes a first set of ventilation doors for controlling a first amount of outdoor air and/or a first amount of return air entering (or exiting) the chamber via the second heat exchanger, and a second set of ventilation doors for controlling a second amount of outdoor air and/or a second amount of return air entering (or exiting) the chamber via the first heat exchanger. The system includes a controller for selectively controlling operation of the compressor, and the first and/or second set of ventilation doors.

  • Patent number: 12420616
    Abstract: Disclosed are climate systems and methods for control the climate systems. A climate system includes a refrigerant circuit, a first compressor, a second compressor, a first refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, a second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, and a controller communicatively coupled to the first and second compressors. Respective outlets of the first and second compressors are fluidically coupled to the first refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, the first refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger is fluidically coupled to the second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, and the second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger is fluidically coupled with respective inlets of the first and second compressors. The fluidic connection between the second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger and the first and second compressors includes a vertical split that is configured to mitigate or reduce the amount of compressor oil that migrates to dormant components.
