Abstract: A shear flow turbomachinery device includes a housing having housing walls defining a cavity, a shaft extending into the cavity though a shaft opening in the housing wall at an end of the cavity, a rotor coupled to the shaft within the cavity, the rotor having a plurality of disks extending radially outward from a central axis of the rotor, the disks having a spaced arrangement forming a gap between adjacent disks, and a shroud for shrouding the rotor, the shroud including a pair of end disks coupled to opposing ends of the rotor, a screen extending between outer edges of the pair of end disks, the screen extending around the rotor between the rotor and the housing walls, wherein the shroud is freely rotatable independent of rotation of the rotor to reduce drag on the disks due to the housing walls when the cavity if filled with fluid and the shaft and plurality of disks are rotated.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing an HVAC/R system includes a receiver for receiving signals from sensors, a memory for storing a pressure-enthalpy relationship for refrigerant of the HVAC/R system, a processor in communication with the receiver and the memory, the processor configured to determine a first energy transfer value associated with an air handler of the HVAC/R system based on the received signals from the sensors, determine a second energy transfer value associated with the refrigerant of the HVAC/R system based on the pressure-enthalpy relationship and the received signals from the sensors; and verify the determined first and second energy transfer values by comparing the first energy transfer value with the second energy transfer value.

Abstract: A manifold, for a refrigeration system, includes a body comprising a bore hole extending through the body, and a plurality of ports including a first process port for adding and removing refrigerant, and a first side port for mechanical connection thereto. The manifold also includes a first ball valve disposed in the body, between the first process port and the first side port. The first ball valve includes a ball recess aligned with the bore hole through the body, and a ball port extending generally transverse to the ball recess and in fluid connection therewith. The ball port includes a narrow end and wider end. The first ball valve is moveable between an open position in which the ball port is aligned with the first side port and the first side port is in fluid connection with the bore hole through the body, and a closed position in which the ball port is out of alignment with the first side port.
