Abstract
A vapor compression system includes a vapor compression circuit including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device and an evaporator communicated along refrigerant conveying lines; an evaporator air reheat circuit communicated with the vapor compression circuit for reheating air from the evaporator; and a refrigerant subcooling circuit communicated with the vapor compression circuit for subcooling refrigerant from the condenser, whereby humidity in the air from the evaporator can be controlled while system efficiency is maintained by the refrigerant subcooling circuit. The system further enhances system unloading capability, and part-load operation and reliability are also enhanced.
