Claim 0:
1. A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system configured to condition an air flow, comprising:
a refrigerant circuit configured to circulate a refrigerant;
a reversible valve disposed along the refrigerant circuit and having a first port and a second port, wherein the reversible valve is configured to be in a first configuration to direct the refrigerant through the refrigerant circuit in a first flow direction in a heating mode of the HVAC system and to be in a second configuration to direct the refrigerant through the refrigerant circuit in a second flow direction in a cooling mode of the HVAC system; and
a reheat heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from the refrigerant to the air flow in the heating mode and in the cooling mode, wherein the reversible valve is configured to discharge the refrigerant to the reheat heat exchanger via the first port and to discharge the refrigerant to an additional heat exchanger via the second port in parallel, and wherein the reheat heat exchanger and the additional heat exchanger are configured to condition the air flow.
