Abstract
A method for controlling an air conditioning system comprises routing refrigerant through an evaporator to cool air in a space, proportioning refrigerant flow from the evaporator between a condenser circuit and a hot gas reheat circuit that heats air leaving the evaporator, routing refrigerant flow from the condenser circuit and the hot gas reheat circuit through an expansion device and back to the evaporator, monitoring a first temperature at the evaporator, stabilizing proportioning of refrigerant flow between the condenser circuit and the hot gas reheat circuit based on the monitored first temperature.
