Abstract
A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and/or refrigeration (HVAC&R) system includes a first vapor compression flow path having a first condenser configured to place a working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with a cooling fluid, a second vapor compression flow path having a first evaporator configured to place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with a conditioning fluid, and a shared vapor compression flow path having a second condenser configured to place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with the cooling fluid and a second evaporator configured to place the working fluid in a heat exchange relationship with the conditioning fluid. The first vapor compression flow path is configured to direct working fluid vapor from the second evaporator to the first condenser and the second vapor compression flow path is configured to direct working fluid liquid from the second evaporator to the first evaporator.
