ABSTRACT:
A transport refrigeration system, and method of operating same, in which a maximum operating pressure expansion valve and a secondary condenser are used to enhance hot gas heating cycles initiated to hold a predetermined temperature set point, and hot gas defrost cycles. The secondary condenser is disposed in an evaporator section of the refrigeration system, with hot discharge gas from a compressor being directed to the secondary condenser during heating and defrost cycles. A sufficient supply of refrigerant for heating and defrost cycles is ensured by injecting refrigerant from a receiver and condenser into an active heat cycle refrigerant circuit, when the active refrigerant is insufficient to build the pressure on the low pressure side of the refrigeration system to a value sufficient to close the maximum operating pressure expansion valve and the compressor suction pressure is less than the receiver/condenser pressure.
