Abstract

See full text

In an aspect, a cooling system has a cooling circuit that includes an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a sub-cooler and an expansion device configured in a direct expansion cooling circuit with the sub-cooler coupled in series between an outlet of the condenser and an inlet of the expansion device. The condenser has a micro-channel cooling coil and the sub-cooler has a fin-and-tube cooling coil. In an aspect, the fin-and-tube cooling coil of the sub-cooler has a total hydraulic volume equivalent to the total hydraulic volume of the micro-channel cooling coil of the condenser but the fin-and-tube cooling coil of the sub-cooler has a face area more than two times smaller than a face area of the micro-channel cooling coil of the condenser.
