          Appeal No. 1999-1778                                                        
          Application No. 08/888,365                                                  



          exchanger.  Because we find no teaching, suggestion or inference            
          in any of the applied references for providing a low flow                   
          resistance through the heat exchanger when it functions as an               
          evaporator in the heating mode, and for providing a high flow               
          resistance through the heat exchanger when it functions as a                
          condenser in the cooling mode, these rejections cannot be                   
          sustained.                                                                  
               In summary, the standing § 103 rejection of claims 24 and              
          25 is affirmed.  All other rejections are reversed.
