A heat transfer circuit includes a compressor, a heat exchanger, an expander, a plurality of valves, and a working fluid. The heat exchanger including a plurality of coils and is configured to exchange heat between the working fluid and a process fluid. The working fluid flows through the first heat exchanger in a first direction by flowing through the plurality of coils in series and in a second direction by flowing through the plurality of coils in parallel. A method of operating a heat transfer circuit includes operating in a first mode and operating in a second mode. In the first mode, working fluid flows though coils of a heat exchanger in series. In a second mode, the working fluid flows through the coils of the heat exchanger in parallel.
A heat transfer circuit operable in at least a first mode and a second mode, the heat transfer circuit comprising:
