| 20090007576 | Methods and Systems for a Torque-Based Air Conditioning Cut-Out Control - The present disclosure adjusts an air conditioner (A/C) compressor load responsive to the available torque to provide a compromise between A/C system and vehicle performance. The maximum available torque is monitored in real-time, and it is determined if there is enough torque to keep the A/C on for a fixed displacement compressor or how much the compressor displacement can be destroked through a current control for a variable displacement compressor. In an exemplary embodiment, an engine control unit (ECU) broadcasts the maximum available torque at a flywheel based on sensor readings and calculations. Accordingly, this broadcast enables a determination of whether there is enough torque available to maintain the A/C system in a controlled manner. Advantageously, the present disclosure avoids an abrupt turn-off or turn-on of the A/C system. Rather, the present disclosure maintains the A/C system in a controlled manner providing improved vehicle driveability. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20160047583 | Monitoring System with Control of Refrigeration Container and Refrigeration Container Connection Socket Box - The invention relates to a monitoring system with control of a refrigeration container and a refrigeration container connection socket box. A connection cable is connected to the compatible plug-in port commonly formed in refrigeration containers. The connection socket box connecting connection cables is used to collect the state information of each refrigeration container transferred to a management server, so that a monitoring system applicable to all kinds of refrigeration container is provided, and can transfer a control signal for the refrigeration container through the compatible plug-in port, thus making it possible to remotely control the refrigeration container. Hence the system is simplified so as to reduce the cost and improve the stability of the system. The function of monitoring the state information and the function of measuring the power consumption of the refrigeration container are also provided so as to reasonably calculate the cost of the actual power consumption. | 02-18-2016 |
| 20160061502 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HYBRID WATER HEATING AND AIR COOLING AND CONTROL THEREOF - A system for conditioning air circulated from an interior of a building includes a refrigerant path, an air-cooled condenser in the refrigerant path, a water-cooled condenser in the refrigerant path that transfers heat from refrigerant in the refrigerant path to the building water, an evaporator in the refrigerant path, and a control system. The control system moves the system between operation of the air-cooled condenser and the water-cooled condenser based upon predetermined system conditions. | 03-03-2016 |
