Abstract
Systems and methods for simultaneous vapor and liquid injection for a transport climate control system are provided. The system includes a compressor, a condenser having a condensing unit and a sub-cooling unit, a receiver, an economizer having a vapor outlet and a liquid outlet, a controller, and a flow control device. The receiver is disposed downstream of the condensing unit and upstream of the sub-cooling unit. The economizer is disposed downstream of the sub-cooling unit. The compressor includes a suction port, a vapor injection port connected to the vapor outlet of the economizer, and a liquid injection port separated from the vapor injection port. The controller is configured to control the flow control device to adjust an amount of liquid refrigerant into the liquid injection port to maintain a discharge temperature of the compressor at or below a threshold.
