Abstract
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a climate control system and methods for controlling the system. Some embodiments include a system that includes a refrigerant circuit with both a main circuit and a bypass circuit, where the main circuit directs the refrigerant fluid from a compressor to a first heat exchanger, a metering device, a second heat exchanger, and an accumulator, and the bypass circuit selectively directs a portion of the refrigerant fluid to a third heat exchanger. The bypass circuit includes a bypass control valve and a bypass metering device, the bypass control valve controlling the flow of the portion of the refrigerant fluid to be directed to the third heat exchanger, and the bypass metering device lowering the temperature of the portion of the refrigerant fluid before the portion of the refrigerant fluid enters the third heat exchanger. The third heat exchanger may be located proximate the accumulator.
