摘要： Each blow-off valve includes a valve body with a first movable wall defining a portion of the liquid fluid passage therein and a second movable wall defining a portion of the suction fluid passage therein. An actuator interconnects the movable walls for simultaneously moving the walls and opening the fluid passages in response to the electrical leakage-warning signal. In the species of FIGS. 2 and 3, the movable walls are integrally united with the valve body and include frangible sections that are fractured by an explosive squib to separate the movable walls from the body to simultaneously open the liquid and suction fluid passages. In the species of FIG. 5, the movable walls are separate valve elements disposed in a circular bore that opens the passages to the ambient surroundings. The actuator includes a spring, for biasing each of the valve elements out of its respective bore, and a holding device that weakens in response to the electrical leakage-warning signal.

摘要： A detector (29) detects that a refrigerant gas has leaked from a refrigeration cycle, or detects in advance that a refrigerant is to leak. The alarming device (27) gives users an alarming signal warning against the refrigerant leak. The alarming device (27) is caused to stop giving an alarming signal after users open doors of storage compartments including a refrigerator compartment (4), a vegetable storage compartment (5) and a freezer compartment (6). For example, after all the doors of the storage compartments are opened, giving the alarming signal is stopped. Otherwise, giving the alarming signal is stopped after the door of a storage compartment into which cold air flows by causing a damper (12) to open is opened.

摘要： A blowoff valve assembly includes a diaphragm separating a refrigerant connection from an ambient port open to the atmosphere. The refrigerant connection is preferably connected to air conditioning system such that the diaphragm is in contact with refrigerant from the system. The diaphragm is deflectable based on the pressure of the refrigerant and is operatively connected to a switch. When pressure of the refrigerant drops to a predetermined level, the diaphragm deflects to activate the switch. Additionally, the assembly also includes a detonable squib that explodes and ruptures the diaphragm, allowing the refrigerant to flow from the refrigerant connection to the atmosphere. Additional features, such as sensors for detecting refrigerant outside of the system, a collision subsystem, and an associated controller are also disclosed.

摘要： An air conditioner and method of detecting a refrigerant leakage in the air conditioner in which the entire refrigerant pipe of the air conditioner is sectioned based on expansion valves into a plurality of sections, the sections are checked one by one to quickly detect a refrigerant leakage from the sections and an exact position of a broken or loosened area of the refrigerant pipe causing such a refrigerant leakage is found. In the method of detecting a refrigerant leakage in the air conditioner, comprising a compressor, an expansion valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an indoor heat exchanger connected to one another by a refrigerant pipe, the refrigerant pipe is sectioned into a high pressure section extending from the outlet port of the compressor to the inlet port of the expansion valve, and a low pressure section extending from the outlet port of the expansion valve to the inlet port of the compressor. A pressure sensor is provided on the refrigerant pipe within the low pressure section. A control unit detects a refrigerant leakage in the low pressure section by comparing a variation in refrigerant pressure sensed by the pressure sensor with a preset variation in the refrigerant pressure in accordance with a normal operation without the refrigerant pipe having a refrigerant leakage, during a refrigerant leakage detection mode.

摘要： Leaks are detected in a vapor compression system using fluorescent and daylight visible in situants which are introduced to a system by way of a carrier and dissolved into the systems oil or lubricant. This invention teaches the use of POE oil as a universal carrier fluid, alone or in combination with an alcohol, and combined with one or more nullin situantsnull. The in situants are compounds which are the same or substantially similar to compounds already present in oils or lubricants. An on-off UV light source, such as a xenon light, can the be used to visually detect the leak from the vapor compression system components.

摘要： A method for detecting a low level of refrigerant circulating through a motor vehicle refrigerant circuit having a compressor (12), a condenser (14), an evaporator (16), and an accumulator (18), includes detecting a partial loss of a refrigerant fluid by measuring the temperature difference of the refrigerant fluid between an evaporator inlet and an evaporator outlet. The method further includes detecting a complete loss of refrigerant by measuring the pressure of the refrigerant in the liquid phase between the condenser (14) and the evaporator (16). The temperature and pressure measurements are converted to engineering units and then compared to predetermined engineering units that correspond to separate ranges of ambient temperatures for determining the if the refrigerant level is low.
