Appl. No.:

09/711764

Inventors:

Thomas H. Hebert - Lutz FL 33612

International Classification:

E04B 134

US Classification:

52 211, 52 2, 52 64, 52 83, 52 218, 47 17, 47 291, 47 281

Abstract:

An apparatus for regulating the transmission of energy through an energy transmissive structure having at least one energy transmissive panel comprising in combination at least one elongated support adjacent to the energy transmissive panel of the energy transmissive structure. A polymer bag made of polyethylene terephthalate encapsulates the elongated support which allows the polymer bag to be inflated or deflated around the elongated support. The outer surface of the polymer bag has a reflective coating for reflecting energy through the energy transmissive structure. There is at least one elongated weight attached to the polymer bag to ensure that the polymer bag is maintained in its optimum position. There is at least one air distribution header attached to the elongated support to inflate or deflate the polymer bag. In an inflated state, the polymer bag blocks the transmission of energy and in a deflated state, the polymer bag allows the transmission of energy through the transmissive energy panel of the energy transmissive structure.

Appl. No.:

09/711583

Inventors:

Thomas H. Hebert - Lutz FL 33612

International Classification:

F25B 4104

US Classification:

62225, 62513

Abstract:

A low pressure suction side refrigerant to liquid refrigerant heat exchanger, located in the refrigeration circuit in such a way that the sensor (and external equalizer tube, if applicable) is located downstream of the low pressure refrigerant outlet of the heat exchanger, provides for effectively eliminating both the superheat and flash gas loss regions of the evaporator which in turn increases the mass flow through the evaporator and increases the refrigerating capacity of the evaporator at very little increase in compressor power thereby providing for increased system efficiency for refrigerating or cooling purposes. On the heating side, heat rejection capacity of a heat pump is increased even more dramatically because of the heat reclaim of the flash gas loss heat, which provides for even greater efficiency increases for heating applications.

Abstract:

A system for providing liquid refrigerant subcooling, by means of evaporative cooling utilizing the condensate water of said air conditioner, refrigeration/heat pump system and/or some other water supply to wet the surface of the subcool heat exchanger and pass the dry exhaust air across the wetted surface of the subcool heat exchanger. A system for providing hot gas discharge refrigerant precooling into the primary condenser of an air conditioner, refrigation or heat pump system by evaporative cooling utilizing the condensate water of said system and/or other water supply to wet the surface of the precool heat exchanger and then passing the cold, dry exhaust air across the wetted surface of the precool heat exchanger. A combination subcooler/precooler system where the cold dry building exhaust air is used to evaporatively subcool the liquid refrigerant in the water wetted (or dry) subcooler and then used to conductively cool the hot gas refrigerant.

Abstract:

A system for providing liquid refrigerant subcooling, subsequent to that subcooling accomplished by the primary condenser of an ice machine, by means of utilizing cold harvest and/or melt water discharge from said ice machine. The subcooler is connected in fluid communication with the output of a pump that pumps stored ice machine discharge water to directly flow through the subcooler from a bottom portion to a top portion in a counter-flow direction and then to discharge such that the subcooler utilizes the pumped and flowing cold discharge water from the ice machine for providing maximum available subcooling to the liquid refrigerant of said ice machine.

Appl. No.:

9/058632

Inventors:

Thomas H. Hebert - Lutz FL

International Classification:

F25B 1300

US Classification:

62160

Abstract:

In a refrigeration system, a multiple compressor system for maintaining the heat output constant while the outside ambient temperature continues to decrease. The present invention comprises of a primary compressor and at least one secondary compressor. The entire refrigeration system is sized for the primary compressor operating while in the cooling mode. In the heating mode, the primary compressor operates by itself until the outside ambient temperature falls to a temperature within a particular range. Once the predetermined temperature set point is met, a secondary compressor begins operating in conjunction with the primary compressor such that the mass flow of refrigerant through the system in the heating mode of operation is no greater than that of the primary compressor operating alone in the cooling mode. While the outside temperature continues to decrease, additional secondary compressors may be included to maintain a constant heat output. In the cooling mode, only a single compressor is required to operate the system.

Abstract:

First, a system for providing liquid refrigerant subcooling, subsequent to that subcooling accomplished by the primary condenser, by means of direct geothermal heat exchange and if required, secondary (or more) fluid(s) supplementary cooling of the liquid refrigerant contiguous with the direct geothermal subcooling. This system could be utilized with standard condensers for higher efficiency air conditioning, heat pump in the cooling mode, or refrigeration operation of any kind. No modifications to the actual condenser would be required, but a larger evaporator surface could be required. Secondly, a system for providing supplemental heat to the primary evaporator of a heat pump operating in the heating mode, by means of a direct geothermal heat exchange, coupled with heat reclaim of the liquid refrigerant, and if necessary with secondary (or more) fluid(s). This system would require some modification of a standard heat pump in addition to the installation of the direct geothermal liquid refrigerant reclaim, secondary (or more) fluid heat postheater. Next, a system that would provide liquid refrigerant subcooling by means of direct geothermal heat exchange and if required, secondary (or more) fluid(s) supplementary subcooling, coupled with a system that would provide direct geothermal, plus a possible secondary (or more) fluid, supplementary heat, to a postheater of a heat pump in the heating mode.
