    摘要: A system is configured to receive an indication that an apparatus in a first assembled state should comprise a component with a first digital fingerprint and a component with a second digital fingerprint. The system is configured to receive video footage of apparatuses in the first assembled state. The system is configured to isolate an image of an apparatus in the first assembled state. The system is configured to split the image into a frame comprising a first component and a frame comprising a second component. The system is configured to identify feature points and to determine that the first set of feature points matches the first digital fingerprint and that the second set of feature points matches the second digital fingerprint. The system is configured to update a component database.

    摘要: A system includes a device and a payload warehouse. The device receives a user request to initiate a feature of the device. In response to receiving the request, device information is provided to a payload warehouse. The payload warehouse stores an inventory which includes a digital payload. The digital payload includes data, such as a digital certificate, which may be used by the device to implement the user-requested feature. The payload warehouse receives the device information provided by the device and determines an encryption vector based at least in part on the received device information. Using the encryption vector, the digital payload is encrypted. The encrypted digital payload is provided to the device.

    摘要: A method of monitoring a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for refrigerant leak. The method includes monitoring, by a controller, operation of the HVAC system and determining, using a plurality of leak detectors, whether refrigerant within the HVAC system is leaking. Responsive to a positive determination in the determining step, receiving, by the controller, a refrigerant leak warning signal and modifying, by the controller, operation of the HVAC system to prevent the refrigerant from entering an enclosed space.

    摘要: An HVAC system includes a variable-speed compressor which compresses refrigerant flowing through the HVAC system, a blower which provides a flow of air through the HVAC system at a controllable flow rate, and a controller communicatively coupled to the variable-speed compressor and the blower. The controller receives a demand request which includes a command to reduce power consumption by the HVAC system. In response to receiving the demand request, a speed of the variable-speed compressor is decreased and the controllable flow rate of the flow of air provided by the blower is adjusted.

    摘要: An HVAC system includes an evaporator, a first sensor coupled to the evaporator at a first position, and a second sensor operably coupled to the evaporator at a second position. The first sensor monitors a first temperature of the refrigerant flowing in the evaporator at the first position, which is adjacent to the evaporator inlet. The second sensor monitors a second temperature of the refrigerant flowing in the evaporator at the second position, which is downstream from the first position. The system includes a controller, which receives a first signal corresponding to the first temperature and a second signal corresponding to the second temperature. The controller determines, based on the received signals, a temperature difference between the second temperature and the first temperature. In response to determining that the temperature difference is greater than a predefined threshold value, the controller determines that a loss of charge has occurred.

    摘要: In one instance, a multistage microchannel condenser is provided for use as an aspect of a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The multistage microchannel condenser includes at least two pluralities of flat tubes having microchannels, each associated with a different refrigeration circuit, that are interspersed so that when only one refrigeration circuit is operational, the multistage microchannel condenser still does not have any substantial thermal dead spots. Manifolds are used on each end of the multistage microchannel condenser to fluidly couple members of the at least two pluralities of flat tubes such that the refrigerant in each refrigeration circuit remains separated while still using a majority of the area of the face of the multistage microchannel condenser. Other aspects are presented.
