Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009096915A1] A refrigerant system is provided that includes a cooling refrigerant circuit, a reheat refrigerant circuit, an evaporator fan, and a controller. The evaporator fan forces indoor air in a first direction and a second direction. The indoor air passes across the evaporator before the reheat coil, in the first direction, but passes across the reheat coil before the evaporator, in the second direction. The controller, when in a conventional cooling mode, controls the reheat refrigerant circuit so that the reheat refrigerant circuit is not in fluid communication with the cooling refrigerant circuit and controls the evaporator fan to force the indoor air in the first direction. Conversely, the controller, when in a defrost mode, controls the reheat refrigerant circuit so that the reheat refrigerant circuit is in fluid communication with the cooling refrigerant circuit and controls the evaporator fan to force the indoor air in the second direction.
