| 20110120181 | FALLING FILM EVAPORATOR - An evaporator for use in a refrigeration system includes a shell and a tube bundle, the tube bundle having a plurality of tubes extending substantially horizontally in the shell. A hood is disposed over and laterally surrounds substantially all of the plurality of tubes of the tube bundle. A distributor is positioned between the hood and the tube bundle. The hood is asymmetrically disposed within the evaporator. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110300006 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING A COMPRESSOR MOTOR - Apparatus and methods are provided for cooling motors used to drive gas and air compressors. In particular, the cooling of hermetic and semi-hermetic motors is accomplished by a gas sweep using a gas source located in the low-pressure side of a gas compression circuit. The gas sweep is provided by the creation of a pressure reduction at the compressor inlet sufficient to draw uncompressed gas through a motor housing, across the motor, and out of the housing for return to the suction assembly. The pressure reduction is created by means provided in the suction assembly, such as a nozzle and gap assembly, or alternatively a venturi, located upstream of the compressor inlet. Additional motor cooling can be provided by circulating liquid or another cooling fluid through a cooling jacket in the motor housing portion adjacent the motor. | 12-08-2011 |
