A heat pump system includes a refrigerant circuit that has a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a reheat heat exchanger, a modulating valve, and a reversing valve. The reversing valve is configured to transition between a first configuration to direct refrigerant from the compressor toward the modulating valve and a second configuration to direct the refrigerant from the compressor toward the first heat exchanger. The heat pump system also includes control circuitry configured to concurrently maintain the reversing valve in the first configuration and adjust a position of the modulating valve to direct a first portion of the refrigerant from the modulating valve to the second heat exchanger and a second portion of the refrigerant from the modulating valve to the reheat heat exchanger based on an operating mode of the heat pump system.

An air-to-air heat pump system for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building includes a thermally insulated cool channel for pumping external air into the building, the cool channel having a volume for mixing external air with exhaust air of the building, a warm channel for pumping internal air, the warm channel including a cellular humidifier that restores humidity to internal air, heat pump coils located in the cool channel and the warm channel, the heat pump coils configured for transferring thermal energy from the cold channel to the warm channel, a first fan located in the cool channel and a second fan located in the warm channel, wherein the first and second fans are configured for moving air within a channel, all of the foregoing provided in a monoblock or Split structure located inside, or partially inside, a thermal circuit of the building.

A transfer tube for a thermal transfer device can include at least one wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, where the inner surface forms a cavity, where the at least one wall further has a first end and a second end. The first end can be configured to couple to a terminus of a heat exchanger of the thermal transfer device. The second end can be configured to couple to a collector box of the thermal transfer device. At least a portion of the at least one wall can be disposed in a vestibule of the thermal transfer device. The cavity can be configured to simultaneously receive a first fluid that flows from the first end to the second end and a second fluid that flows from the second end to the first end.

Provided is an air conditioning apparatus that sufficiently raises the temperature of hot air to be blown out when receiving a request for high-temperature air temporarily raising the temperature of the hot air. A first use side unit includes a first use side heat exchanger and a first use side fan. A second use side unit includes a second use side heat exchanger and a second use side fan. When the first use side unit receives a request for the high-temperature air and the second use side unit receives no request for the high-temperature air, the air conditioning apparatus shifts to a mode that performs control to reduce the airflow volume of the second use side fan or make the airflow volume of the second use side fan zero such as reducing the number of revolutions of the second use side fan in another room by 40 rpm.

Provided is an air conditioning system that uses ducts to supply conditioned air to a plurality of places inside a building, and is configured to counteract air backflow that occurs in ducts. A heat exchanger unit (10) includes a use side heat exchanger (11). A plurality of ducts (20) are connected to the heat exchanger unit (10). A plurality of fan units (30) suction conditioned air from the heat exchanger unit (10), and supply the conditioned air to a plurality of air outlets (71) through the plurality of ducts (20). A differential pressure sensor (121) acting as a detection device detects air backflow proceeding from at least one air outlet (71) among the plurality of air outlets (71) toward the heat exchanger unit (10) in a plurality of distribution flow paths including the plurality of ducts (20), the plurality of fan units (30), and the air outlets (71) of a plurality of outlet units (70).

A heating, ventilating, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a variable speed pump configured to direct a chilled fluid through a free cooling circuit of the HVAC system. The free cooling circuit is configured to place the chilled fluid in a heat exchange relationship with ambient air. The HVAC system also includes a heat exchanger configured to place the chilled fluid in a heat exchange relationship with a conditioning fluid and a controller configured to operate the variable speed pump based on a parameter of the HVAC system.

A transfer tube for a thermal transfer device can include at least one wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, where the inner surface forms a cavity, where the at least one wall further has a first end and a second end. The first end can be configured to couple to a terminus of a heat exchanger of the thermal transfer device. The second end can be configured to couple to a collector box of the thermal transfer device. At least a portion of the at least one wall can be disposed in a vestibule of the thermal transfer device. The cavity can be configured to simultaneously receive a first fluid that flows from the first end to the second end and a second fluid that flows from the second end to the first end.

A device providing automatic control of temperature for an environment of a working station includes an air box, a baffle member, and a driving assembly. The air box is coupled to a machine defining a working space which the working station is in. The air box defines an opening. The opening allows cooling air to be introduced into the working space. The baffle member is slidably coupled to the air box at the opening. The driving assembly coupled to the baffle member drives the baffle member to cover the opening completely, to cover the opening partially, or to leave the opening uncovered in accordance with a difference between a current temperature of the working space and a desired target temperature of the working space. A related system and method are also disclosed.
