Abstract (en)

A heat ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit (100) is disclosed. The HVAC unit (100) includes a compressor (102), a condenser (104), a first expansion device (106), a second expansion device (118), a third expansion device (120), an evaporator (108), a heat recovery unit (110), a first 4-way valve (112), a second 4-way valve (114), a one-way valve (118) and a controller (124). The controller (124) determines a first discharge superheat temperature for the refrigerant entering the evaporator (108) and a second discharge superheat temperature for the refrigerant entering the heat recovery unit (110) and adjust the first flow rate and the second flow rate to maintain ideal heat distribution between the heat recovery unit (110) and the evaporator (108).
