20140109606 | REFERIGERANT-TO-AIR DEVICE - A refrigerant system includes a compressor, an evaporator, an expansion valve, an accumulator or equivalent, one or more earth loops, and auxiliary heat removal means. The auxiliary means comprises a fan and fan coil and the fan forces air between multiple tubes of the fan coil to remove unwanted heat from the hot vapor exiting the compressor. | 04-24-2014 |
20130036752 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS - A cooling system for PV cells includes an evaporator configured to thermally contact the PV cells and transfer heat generated thereby to coolant in the evaporator, a condenser for receiving vaporized coolant from the evaporator and condensing the coolant to a liquid state, tubing connecting the evaporator, and the condenser in a circuit, a compressor arranged in the circuit for pumping coolant therethrough in a coolant flow direction, an active charge control apparatus arranged in the circuit between, in the coolant flow direction, the evaporator and the condenser, and a liquid flow control apparatus arranged in the circuit between, in the coolant flow direction, the condenser and the evaporator. The active charge control apparatus and the liquid flow apparatus cooperate to maintain the evaporator completely wetted by coolant and prevent coolant in the liquid state from leaving the evaporator. | 02-14-2013 |
20100218522 | OIL RETURN SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE CHARGE CONTROL IN AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - An active charge control (ACC) in an air conditioner has a first portion of refrigerant passing into a compressor and a second portion held within the ACC. The first portion is substantially vapor and the second portion substantially liquid. Lubricant is included in both portions for lubricating the compressor. A lubricant mechanism includes a heat exchanger having a primary pathway thermally connected with the compressor and a secondary pathway operable between the ACC and the compressor. The secondary pathway transfers the refrigerant second portion to the compressor. The fluid inlet of the compressor retains liquid refrigerant. The secondary pathway delivers the refrigerant and the lubricant from the ACC to the compressor such that heat energy from the primary pathway is transmitted to the liquid refrigerant and lubricant in the secondary pathway evaporating the refrigerant in the secondary pathway such that refrigerant vapor and lubricant are sent to the compressor. | 09-02-2010 |
