ABSTRACT:
A refrigeration system, and method of operating same, in which an economizer heat exchanger, normally used in conjunction with an intermediate port of a refrigerant compressor to cool the main refrigerant flow from a receiver to an evaporator to enhance the refrigerant cooling cycle, is caused to function as an evaporator during a hot gas heating cycle. The economizer heat exchanger is caused to function as an evaporator by adding heat thereto during a heating cycle, and by establishing an alternate liquid line, effective during a heating cycle, which includes the economizer heat exchanger. When the compressor is driven by an internal combustion engine, engine coolant may be used to add the necessary heat to the economizer heat exchanger during a heating cycle.
