1. A refrigerant based heat exchange system, the system comprising:

  • a furnace heat exchanger;

    an evaporating heat exchanger connected in a refrigeration circuit in which a compressor circulates refrigerant between a condenser and an evaporator coil;

    wherein both the furnace heat exchanger and the evaporator coil include heat exchange surface areas and wherein air flow from a source of forced air is used to provide a heat exchange effect over the heat exchange surface areas; and

    means for temporarily removing at least a selected one of the heat exchange surface areas in response to the detection of a passive heat pipe phenomenon in the refrigeration circuit.
