Abstract
An air conditioning system and a method of operating the same are provided. The air conditioning system includes a refrigeration loop having a variable speed compressor for circulating a refrigerant through an outdoor heat exchanger, a first expansion device, a hybrid heat exchanger, a second expansion device, and an indoor heat exchanger. The air conditioning system is operated in one of four modes depending on the indoor temperature and humidity relative to target values. The modes include an air conditioning mode, a dehumidification mode, an idle mode, and a reheat mode in which the first expansion device is fully opened and the second expansion device throttles the refrigerant to achieve a target temperature difference across the hybrid heat exchanger.
