1. A system comprising:

  • a first heat exchanger;

    an expansion device in direct fluid communication with the first heat exchanger;

    a pumping device in fluid communication with the first heat exchanger; and

    a valve receiving a fluid from the pumping device and movable between a first position allowing the fluid through a first flow path and a second position to allow the fluid to flow through a second flow path,a second heat exchanger;

    an energy storage device in heat transfer relation to the second heat exchanger;

    whereinwhen the valve is in the first position, the first flow path extends from the valve through the first heat exchanger and from the first heat exchanger through the second heat exchanger; and

    when the valve is in the second position, the second flow path extends from the valve, through the second heat exchanger bypassing the first heat exchanger.
