  • Patent number: 10309685
    Abstract: A combined heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (“HVACR”) system including an HVAC sub-system and a refrigeration sub-system. The HVAC sub-system is in communication with an open space of an indoor environment and includes a first condenser, a first evaporator, and a first compressor at least partially defining a first refrigerant circuit circulating a first refrigerant for selectively conditioning an airflow within the HVAC sub-system that conditions the open space. The refrigeration sub-system is in communication with an enclosed space within the indoor environment and includes a second condenser, a second evaporator, and a second compressor and at least partially defining a second refrigerant circuit circulating a second refrigerant for selectively conditioning the enclosed space. Heat from the second refrigerant is selectively transferred to the airflow within the second condenser to reheat the airflow prior to the airflow being discharged into the open space.

The HVAC sub-system is in communication with an open space of an indoor environment and includes a first condenser, a first evaporator, and a first compressor at least partially defining a first refrigerant circuit circulating a first refrigerant for selectively conditioning an airflow within the HVAC subsystem that conditions the open space. The refrigeration sub-system is in communication with an enclosed space within the indoor environment and includes a second condenser, a second evaporator, and a second compressor and at least partially defining a second refrigerant circuit circulating a second refrigerant for selectively conditioning the enclosed space. Heat from the second refrigerant is selectively transferred to the airflow within the second condenser to reheat the airflow prior to the airflow being discharged into the open space.

  • Patent number: 7540164
    Abstract: A refrigeration merchandiser including at least one surface at least partially defining an environmental space adapted to accommodate a commodity. The merchandiser includes a linear compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. The linear compressor, which can be a free-piston linear compressor having dual-opposing pistons, the condenser, the expansion valve and the evaporator are all in fluid communication. The evaporator is in thermal communication with the environmental space to influence the temperature of the environmental space. A merchandiser also includes a frame supporting the at least one surface, the linear compressor, the condenser, the expansion device, and the evaporator.
