Abstract
A system includes a high side heat exchanger, a modulating valve, a flash tank, and a refrigeration unit. The high side heat exchanger is configured to remove heat from refrigerant. The modulating valve is configured to control the flow of refrigerant from the high side heat exchanger to both a heat exchanger and a flash tank. The flash tank is configured to store refrigerant from the heat exchanger and from the high side heat exchanger. The refrigeration unit is configured to receive refrigerant from the flash tank.
