Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that operate a door latch of a door of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system electronically based on operating a locking engagement device. The locking engagement device may be disposed on an outer portion of a door, the latch may be part of a latching system disposed on an inner portion of the door, and the locking engagement device may transmit a signal indicating that the locking engagement device is in an open or closed position to the latching system via a conductor electronically coupling the locking engagement device and the latching system. In some embodiments, the locking engagement device may transmit a signal indicating that the locking engagement device is in an open or closed position to a controller, which may then instruct the latching system to open or close the latch based on receiving the signal.

Abstract: A control unit is communicatively coupled to multiple variable frequency drives. The control unit includes a controller, and each variable frequency drive may have a respective controller. The controller of the control unit may be communicatively coupled to each variable frequency drive controller and manage and/or configure the multiple variable frequency drives by sending instructions and/or receiving information from the variable frequency drive controllers. In some embodiments, the control unit may be implemented as a part of a mobile computing device, such that the controller may wirelessly and communicatively couple to each variable frequency drive controller. In this manner, managing or changing settings and/or control parameters of multiple variable frequency drives may be performed via a single control unit, avoiding the tedious, repetitive, and inefficient process of using multiple control units.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a frame and a plurality of coil passes disposed within the frame. The plurality of coil passes is configured to direct a flow of a refrigerant therethrough to transfer heat with an air flow passing over the heat exchanger. The plurality of coil passes include a U-bend disposed between first and second linear portions of the plurality of coil passes to redirect the refrigerant from a first longitudinal end of the heat exchanger to a second longitudinal end of the heat exchanger. Additionally, a first plurality of fins is disposed on an outer surface the U-bend.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heat exchanger including a tube having a length, and a cross-sectional geometry defined by an inner boundary and an outer boundary extending along the length. The tube is configured to flow a refrigerant fluid within the inner boundary to transfer heat. The cross-sectional geometry varies at respective transition points along the length of the tube. The tube is seamless and undeformed at the transition points.

Abstract: A cooling system includes an expansion valve configured to exert a first pressure drop on refrigerant circulated through the cooling system. The cooling system also includes a plurality of capillary expansion tubes fluidly coupled in parallel to an output of the expansion valve and configured to exert a second pressure drop on the refrigerant circulated through the cooling system. The cooling system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the expansion valve, wherein the controller is configured to control magnitude of the first pressure drop by instructing the expansion valve to adjust the valve position based at least in part on refrigerant mass flow expected to be supplied to the expansion valve to facilitate substantially uniformly distributing the refrigerant mass flow between each of the plurality capillary expansion tubes.
