Abstract
A heat pump is provided that is alternately operable in a heating mode for heating an interior space under cold or cool ambient conditions and in a cooling or dehumidification mode for cooling the interior space under warm or hot ambient conditions. The heat pump has a direct expansion (DX) coil that operates as a condenser coil for heating air passing over said DX coil when the heat pump is operated in the heating mode. The heat pump has a first outside air path that delivers outside air over the DX coil. The heat pump additionally has a second outside air airflow path that bypasses the DX coil. The heat pump optionally includes heat reclaim coil. When the heat pump has a heat reclaim coil, the second outside air airflow path is upstream of the heat reclaim coil for delivering outside air over the heat reclaim coil.
