Abstract (en)

Totally recuperative conditioning system operating two cascade refrigerating cycles with optimized circuit comprising at least an inner unit and an outer unit. The inner unit comprises at least a compressor, three heat exchangers, a throttling valve and a cycle inverting valve and the outer unit comprises at least a compressor, a heat exchanger, a throttling valve, a cycle inverting valve and the heat exchanger shared with said inner unit. The system is able to serve a plurality of users distributing, depending on the requirements, heat or cold for conditioning ambients and hot water for sanitary use, and it is characterized in that it is provided with a simplified water circuit comprising a number of valves not higher than five for the inner unit and five for the outer unit, of which at least an inverting valve for each said unit and in that said heat exchanger functions as evaporator or as condenser for cycles operating in said units depending on the opening state of said valves.
