| 20100242534 | HYBRID CASCADE VAPOR COMPRESSION REGRIGERATION SYSTEM - An exemplary system includes a first heat exchanger immediately after the compressor that provides direct, conduction-based cooling with condensate recovered from the evaporator. A second heat exchanger cools the forced air that passes over the condenser by evaporating recovered condensate, rainwater, and/or city water into the air as it passes through a breathable water-retaining medium. Finally, a third heat exchanger is described that utilizes recovered condensate, rainwater, and/or city water within an insulated enclosure to obtain additional cooling before the condensed refrigerant enters the expansion valve. Various alternative embodiments are described that include variations of each of these heat exchangers. Additionally, several alternative placements of the heat exchangers are disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20140208796 | EVAPORATIVE CHILLER - An evaporative chiller utilizes an evaporative-cooled gypsum-ceramic casting to chill air passing through a passageway formed within the casting. Placed within an outer housing, the gypsum-ceramic casting has an outer wicking layer that maintains water saturation of the casting. Nano-evaporation from the casting surface into the air passageway cools the casting. Water is provided to the wicking layer from a supply connected to the outer housing. The chiller may be placed in-line within air ductwork, and blowers may be used to enhance the flow of air to be chilled through the evaporative chiller passageway. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20140360225 | COOLING HEAD FOR TEMPERATURE-CONTROL PHASE CHANGE COOLER - A cooling head for a temperature-controlled phase change cooler has a main body, an evaporating chamber within the main body, at least two cap tubes and at least a heat source mounted onto the periphery of the evaporating chamber. With one of the cap tubes, the coolant is guided into the evaporating chamber, then the cooling head of the phase change cooler could be quickly cooled clown due to rapid heat absorption characteristic of the evaporated coolant. In such a case, a heat source is used for heating by a control mechanism, and the temperature could be adjusted to a desired temperature point within the limited range of low temperature according to the user demands. When the preset temperature point is higher than normal temperature, the control mechanism could change properly the flux via one of two cap tubes, and provide proper amount of coolant for evaporative cooling. | 12-11-2014 |
