20100012290 | Thermal gradient fluid header for multiple heating and cooling systems - An apparatus and method for increasing efficiency of heating/cooling systems in buildings and other facilities. An elongate pipe filled with water or other fluid medium forms a thermal gradient header having temperature zones that are progressively warmer towards one end and cooler towards the other. The heating/cooling systems are connected to the header so as to draw circulating fluid from zones that are closest in temperature to the optimal intake temperature of each system, and to discharge fluid back to the header at zones that are closest to the temperature to the optimal output temperature of each system. The heating/cooling systems may be, for example, air conditioning systems, water heating systems, ice making systems, and so on; the facility may be a single building or comprise multiple buildings. The pipe forming the thermal gradient header may be routed back and forth in the facility to define a series of legs at different temperatures, with the intake and output lines of each system being connected to that leg having the temperature closest to optimum. Additional lines and control valves may enable the systems to draw from/discharge to different legs under different operating conditions, such as at different seasons. The system maximizes efficiency by allowing each system to take advantage of the thermal output of other systems. A boiler or other source of makeup heat may be connected to the thermal gradient header if necessary, and any excess heat may be supplied from the header a thermal ground field for later use or may be rejected as necessary. | 01-21-2010 |
20110042037 | Multi tube-fins liquid-air heat exchanger and methods - A secondary refrigerant fluid is cooled or heated in the operation of a multiple Tube-fins heat exchanger arranged in parallel for fins to conduct heat transfer with air being propelled by a multi-row bank of low profile brushless fans. Fluid is controlled to ascend the bank of tubes in unison rate for high efficiency heat transfer with air. Large temperature differential exists between air and fluid when conditioned fluid travels through the tubes for a relatively short distance. A system of components is so arranged that the fluid flow rate to every heat exchanger is preset and the “on” or “off” operation of any heat exchanger does not affect the flow rate destined for other heat exchangers. Fluid is not transported to a heat exchanger when it is not in operation saving energy. Each heat exchanger is controlled by an integrated thermostat so occupants can set the air conditioning operation individually independent of all other heat exchangers. | 02-24-2011 |
