Abstract
Disclosed herein is a heat exchanger apparatus comprising a heat exchanger tube having an inlet valve and an outlet valve. When the valves are open, the refrigerant can flow through the heat exchanger tube, and when the valves are closed, refrigerant can be stored in the heat exchanger tube, thereby reducing the effective heat exchange surface area of the heat exchanger apparatus.
