Filed:

Nov 24, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/933993

Inventors:

Michael E. Rudisill - Hendersonville NC

International Classification:

G01N 2762

US Classification:

324455

Abstract:

An apparatus for continuously adjusting the corona discharge currrent of a pair of electrodes exposed to an atmosphere of gaseous impurities, particularly halogen. The device consists of a power supply to cause a corona current to flow in a pair of electrodes in series with a summing resistor. Any change in the gaseous impurities which causes a change in the corona current is sampled in the resistor, detected, delayed, amplified and fed back in proper phase to the control element of the power supply to cause the corona current to remain constant. During the finite delay time the change in corona current causes an audible alarm to sound until the corona current is restored to the new level of impurity concentration. The corrective action is continuous for any level of impurity concentration.

Abstract:

A method of drying condensate from the heat exchanger of a vehicle's air conditioning system after operation in order to thwart odor buildup is provided. The method comprises first determining that the engine of the vehicle has been switched off and that the air conditioning system of the vehicle was in operation prior to the engine being switched off. If these two conditions are met, the blower of the vehicle's air conditioning system is operated on a predetermined time schedule to draw air through the heat exchanger and through the air conditioning duct work to dry condensate from the heat exchanger and from interior surfaces of the duct work. In this way, the growth of fungus and bacteria that cause odor is thwarted.
