Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 0:
1. A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a refrigerant circuit configured to circulate a refrigerant to condition a first air flow within an air flow conduit in a reheating mode of the HVAC system;
an evaporator of the refrigerant circuit, wherein the evaporator is configured to place the refrigerant in a first heat exchange relationship with the first air flow to cool the first air flow in the reheating mode;
a reheat heat exchanger fluidly separate from the refrigerant circuit, wherein the reheat heat exchanger is configured to place a waste fluid in a second heat exchange relationship with the first air flow to reheat the first air flow cooled by the evaporator in the reheating mode;
a condenser of the refrigerant circuit, wherein the condenser is configured to place the refrigerant in a third heat exchange relationship with a second air flow to cool the refrigerant in the reheating mode; and
a reservoir fluidly coupled to the reheat heat exchanger and configured to store the waste fluid for supply to the reheat heat exchanger.
