| 20100282454 | MINICHANNEL HEAT EXCHANGER HEADER INSERT FOR DISTRIBUTION - An inlet header of a microchannel heat exchanger is provided with a first insert disposed within the inlet header and extending substantially the length thereof, and having a plurality of openings for the flow of refrigerant into the internal confines of the inlet header and then to the channels. A second insert, disposed within the first insert, extends substantially the length of the first insert and is of increasing cross sectional area toward its downstream end such that annular cavity is formed between the first and second insert. The annular cavity of decreasing cross sectional area provides for the maintenance of a substantially constant mass flux of the refrigerant along the length of the annulus so as to thereby maintain an annular flow regime of the liquid and thereby promote uniform flow distribution to the channels. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110030934 | Integrated Flow Separator and Pump-Down Volume Device for Use in a Heat Exchanger - A phase separator and fluid storage volume device for a heat exchanger comprises a vessel, a vapor tube, a liquid tube, an access tube and a flow regulating device. The vessel comprises a first chamber, a second chamber, and a divider separating the first chamber from the second chamber. The vapor tube extends from within the second chamber, through the divider and the first chamber to outside the first chamber. The vapor tube also includes holes between an inlet and an outlet of the tube within the first chamber. The liquid tube extends from within the second chamber to outside of the second chamber. The access tube connects to the second chamber. The flow regulating device is disposed within the vapor tube to provide phase separation between refrigerant traveling between the first chamber and the second chamber within the vapor tube. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110127023 | DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS FOR HEAT EXCHANGERS DISTRIBUTION INSERT - A heat exchanger includes heat exchange tubes, a manifold, and a distribution insert incorporating orifices that communicate a fluid into the manifold for distribution into the heat exchange tubes. A design characteristic of the distribution insert and another design characteristic of at least one of the distribution insert, the manifold and the heat exchange tubes are employed to determine an essential design relationship. The essential design relationship defines a design parameter, the value of which falls within a determined range of values. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110132585 | HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE CONFIGURATION FOR IMPROVED FLOW DISTRIBUTION - A microchannel heat exchanger includes for each channel, a serpentine shaped tube for providing a plurality of parallel flow passes for successively conducting fluid flow therethrough, and being fluidly interconnected between an inlet and an outlet manifold. Multiple circuits are obtained by the individual serpentine shaped tubes. Various methods are provided for forming the serpentine shaped tubes. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080299237 | PERSONAL CARE COMPOSITION WITH COCOA BUTTER AND DIHYDROXYPROPYL AMMONIUM SALTS - A personal care composition is provided that when the composition is applied to the skin provides improved translucency to reveal a healthy skin color. The composition is based upon a mixture of dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt and cocoa butter. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090155321 | COMPOSITIONS WITH ENCAPSULATED COLORING AGENTS AND METHOD TO IMPART A HEALTHY SKIN APPEARANCE - A cosmetic composition and method of imparting a healthy appearance to skin is provided which includes using a composition formed with about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of the composition of beads, from about 1 to about 80% by weight of the beads of a first coloring agent incorporated within a matrix of the beads, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, the composition having a hue less than 25°, the beads being coated and having an exterior color other than that of the first coloring agent. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090155322 | SELF-TANNING EFFECTS - A cosmetic composition and method is herein described for sunless tanning to impart a glow/shiny effect on skin. The composition includes a sunless tanning agent and coated beads incorporating tan colored pigment. A colorant which imparts a color other than tan to the beads is distributed within the coating. The cosmetic composition provides to the skin an immediate tan via the disintegrated beads. Sunless tanning agent acts more slowly and eventually will replace the pigment effect. The coating with colorant prevents the formula undesirably from appearing tan. Instead a color such as white renders the formula more aesthetically pleasing and more in line with the visuals paradigm of a moisturizer rather than a foundation. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090155373 | COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD WHICH IMPART A HEALTHY APPEARANCE TO SKIN - A cosmetic product and method of imparting a healthy appearance to skin is provided which includes using a composition formed with about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of the composition of beads, from about 1 to about 80% by weight of the beads of a coloring agent incorporated within a matrix of the beads, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, the composition being delivered from a package with instructions being printed on or associated with the package indicating topical use on skin to impart a healthy appearance, and wherein the skin with the applied composition has a reflectance in the range from 510 to 600 nm, and reflectance amplitude ratios at wavelength 510/540 nm ranging from 1.10 to 1.20 and at wavelength 600/580 nm ranging from 1.35 to 1.65. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100145886 | Evaluation and Selection Process for Consumer Products - A product evaluation and selection process for consumer products is described.
