  • Patent number: 11920833
    Abstract: A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a refrigerant loop having a compressor, where the compressor is configured to circulate a refrigerant through the refrigerant loop, a first heat exchanger disposed along the refrigerant loop, where the first heat exchanger is configured to place the refrigerant in a first heat exchange relationship with a working fluid, and an air handling unit having a second heat exchanger, where the second heat exchanger is configured to place the working fluid in a second heat exchange relationship with an airflow, and where the air handling unit is isolated from the first heat exchanger to reduce or eliminate mixing of refrigerant with the airflow.

  • Publication number: 20220345858
    Abstract: A control system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a service database including information associated with an HVAC unit. The service database includes data comprising a physical location of the HVAC unit and a service history for the HVAC unit. The control system also includes a user device communicatively coupled to the service database. The user device includes a controller having a memory and a processor. Additionally, the controller is configured to receive user input via the user device indicative of a service action performed on the HVAC unit, and update the service database such that the service history includes the service action.
