1. A climate control unit for controlling air temperature and humidity, comprising:
a reheat coil;
a compressor;
an evaporator having an output that is connected to an input of the compressor;
a first expansion device arranged in a first refrigerant path, between an inlet of the climate control unit and an input of the evaporator, and configured to control a flow of the refrigerant in that path and to provide refrigerant directly to the evaporator; and
a second expansion device arranged in a second refrigerant path, between the reheat coil and the input of the evaporator, and configured to control a flow of the refrigerant in the second refrigerant path and to provide refrigerant directly to the evaporator,
wherein the first and second refrigerant paths share a common part and each have a respective individual part, and wherein the first and second expansion devices are arranged in the individual parts of the first and second refrigerant paths, respectively, and are configured to independently control the flow of refrigerant through the reheat coil and the flow of refrigerant directly entering the evaporator,
wherein the first refrigerant path extends between an output of the compressor and an input of the evaporator through the inlet of the climate control unit, and wherein the second refrigerant path extends between the output of the compressor and the input of the evaporator through the reheat coil, and
wherein the reheat coil is arranged inside the individual part of the second refrigerant path.
