An embodiment of a heat exchanger assembly of a climate control system for conditioning an airflow provided to an interior space includes an inlet line for receiving a substantially liquid refrigerant. In addition, the heat exchanger assembly includes an expansion device positioned along the inlet line to expand the refrigerant. Further, the heat exchanger assembly includes a heat exchanger positioned downstream of the expansion device that is to transfer heat from the airflow to the refrigerant and discharge the refrigerant in a substantially gaseous state. Still further, the heat exchanger assembly includes a discharge line configured to receive the refrigerant from the heat exchanger. The inlet and discharge line are arranged to define a superheater configured to transfer heat from (i) the refrigerant within the inlet line upstream of the expansion device to (ii) the refrigerant in the discharge line to thereby superheat the refrigerant in the discharge line.
