摘要: Systems and methods for deploying a defrost heater include a rod heater bracket including a body including a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. The bracket includes at least one L-shaped slot formed in the body, the L-shaped slot including an opening along the first edge, and a groove located adjacent to the second edge and configured to retain at least a portion of a rod heater adjacent an evaporator of a refrigerated display case. The rod heater bracket includes a tab configured to adjust between an open position to allow access to the groove through the second edge and a closed position to block access to the opening between the second edge and the groove.

摘要: A method of operating a cooling system having one or more evaporative pads includes: obtaining measurements of one or more ambient conditions associated with the cooling system; determining, based at least in part on at least one of the one or more ambient conditions and one or more characteristics of at least one of the one or more evaporative pads, an available evaporation rate; and controlling, based at least in part on the available evaporation rate, an application rate of water to at least one of the one or more evaporative pads.

摘要: A refrigerated display case chassis includes a first insulated panel and a second insulated panel. The first insulated panel has a first foam layer bounded by a first pair of thermally conductive sheets. The first insulated panel forms a first wall of the refrigerated display case chassis. The second insulated panel has a second foam layer bounded by a second pair of thermally conductive sheets. The second insulated panel forms a second wall of the refrigerated display case chassis. The second insulated panel mates with the first insulated panel to form a thermally insulated joint where, in cross-section, one sheet of the first pair of thermally conductive sheets terminates at a surface of the second foam layer. The thermally conductive sheets have a greater thermal conductivity than the first or second foam layers.

摘要: A refrigeration system includes a refrigeration circuit and a coolant circuit separate from the refrigeration circuit. The refrigerant circuit includes a gas cooler/condenser, a receiver, and an evaporator. The coolant circuit includes a heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from a refrigerant circulating within the refrigeration circuit into a coolant circulating within the coolant circuit, a heat sink configured to remove heat from the coolant circulating within the coolant circuit, and a magnetocaloric conditioning unit configured to transfer heat from the coolant within a first fluid conduit of the coolant circuit into the coolant within a second fluid conduit of the coolant circuit. The first fluid conduit connects an outlet of the heat exchanger to an inlet of the heat sink, whereas the second fluid conduit connects an outlet of the heat sink to an inlet of the heat exchanger.

摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining if a product in a refrigerated display case has likely spoiled. The method can include: obtaining, from one or more thermal cameras installed in a refrigerated case, multiple images of the inside of the refrigerated case; determining, based on the multiple images, a surface temperature of one or more products contained in the refrigerated case; determining that the surface temperature of at least one product violated a spoilage temperature for a period of time; and in response to determining that the surface temperature of at least one product violated a spoilage temperature for a period of time, providing, for display on a user computing system, a graphical interface indicating that the product is likely spoiled.

摘要: A method of detecting electrical failure in a refrigeration system is provided. The method includes determining whether a present superheat of the refrigeration system is between a maximum superheat and a minimum superheat for the refrigeration system, the maximum superheat and the minimum superheat defining a normal operating range. The method also includes detecting an electrical property of an expansion valve assembly of the refrigeration system responsive to the superheat being outside the normal operating range. The method further includes determining whether the expansion valve assembly as experienced an electrical failure based on at least the electrical property. A signal indicating that the expansion valve has experienced an electrical failure is generated based on a determination that the expansion valve assembly has experienced the electrical failure.

摘要: A refrigeration system having a primary receiver, a secondary receiver, a first gas bypass valve, and second gas bypass valve, a feed control valve, and a controller. The primary receiver has a primary receiver operating pressure and is configured to collect a refrigerant circulated by the refrigeration system. The secondary receiver includes a liquid refrigerant inlet fluidly coupled to a primary receiver liquid refrigerant outlet. The feed control valve is coupled between the primary receiver liquid outlet and the secondary receiver liquid refrigerant inlet. The controller operates the feed control valve to control a flow of a liquid refrigerant from the primary receiver to the secondary receiver.

摘要: A refrigeration system includes an evaporator configured to receive a flow of refrigerant and transfer heat into the refrigerant within the evaporator to provide cooling for a temperature-controlled space, an expansion valve operable to modulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, a liquid level sensor configured to measure a level of liquid accumulated within a component of the refrigeration system, and a controller configured to operate the expansion valve to increase the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator or decrease the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator based on the level of liquid measured by the liquid level sensor.
