  • Patent number: 11874040
    Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a first compressor system, a second compressor system, a first conduit, a heat exchanger, a second conduit, and a third conduit. The first compressor system includes a plurality of first compressors. The second compressor system includes a plurality of second compressors. The first conduit is configured to provide refrigerant from the first compressor system to the second compressor system. The second conduit is fluidly coupled to the first conduit and configured to provide the refrigerant from the first compressor system to the heat exchanger. The third conduit is configured to provide the refrigerant from the second compressor system to the heat exchanger.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130340455
    Abstract: A refrigeration system with pressure-balanced heat reclaim includes at least one compressor configured to discharge a compressed refrigerant. A heat reclaim branch has a first end configured to receive at least a first portion of the compressed refrigerant and a second end, the heat reclaim branch also has a first refrigerant pressure drop. A condensing branch has a first end configured to receive at least a second portion of the compressed refrigerant and a second end, the second end of the condensing branch is fluidly coupled to the second end of the heat reclaim branch, and the condensing branch has a second refrigerant pressure drop. A pressure regulation device is disposed on one of the heat reclaim branch and the condensing branch and substantially equalizes the first refrigerant pressure drop and the second refrigerant pressure drop.
