Abstract
A vapor compression system () comprises a plurality of valves () controllable to define a first mode flowpath and a second mode flowpath. The first mode flowpath is sequentially through: a compressor (); a first heat exchanger (); a first nozzle (); and a separator (), and then branching into: a first branch returning to the compressor; and a second branch passing through an expansion device () and a second heat exchanger () to the rejoin the flowpath between the first heat exchanger and the separator. The second mode flowpath is sequentially through: the compressor; the second heat exchanger; a second nozzle (); and the separator, and then branching into: a first branch returning to the compressor; and a second branch passing through the expansion device and first heat exchanger to the rejoin the flowpath between the first heat exchanger and the separator.
