A flash tank for a heat pump operable in a heating mode and a cooling mode includes a shell having a middle portion disposed between a top portion and a bottom portion, with the top portion, bottom portion, and middle portion cooperating to define an inner volume of the shell. A first port is in fluid communication with the inner volume and functions as an inlet in the heating mode and as an outlet in the cooling mode. A second port is in fluid communication with the inner volume and functions as an inlet in the cooling mode and as an outlet in the heating mode. Flow control devices and check valves are fluidly coupled to control the tank as a flash tank in heating mode and as a receiver in cooling mode. |
