摘要： A method and apparatus for improving the rate of heat transfer between an evaporator of a refrigeration system and the environment surrounding the evaporator. In one embodiment, the evaporator is placed in thermal communication with the air of a data center where electronic equipment is operated therein. To improve the rate of heat transfer between the air and the evaporator, water is evaporated into the air before it flows over the evaporator coils. As a result, when the humidified air flows over the cold evaporator coils, a portion of the water vapor in the air condenses on the evaporator, thereby wetting the evaporator coils. The wetted surfaces of the evaporator coils improve the rate of heat transfer between the air and, ultimately, the refrigerant passing through the evaporator. In one embodiment, a humidifier having a water atomizer may be used for spraying and dispersing water into the air.

摘要： A method and apparatus for maintaining a relatively constant temperature of a working fluid in an evaporator of a refrigeration system by providing a constant volumetric displacement compressor and a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the high pressure and low pressure portions of a refrigeration circuit to superheat, and hold substantially constant, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the compressor. In doing this, the pressure of the refrigerant in the low pressure portion of the circuit, including the evaporator, and the mass flow rate of the refrigerant remain substantially constant. As a result, the temperature of the saturated refrigerant in the evaporator remains substantially constant.

摘要： A transcritical vapor compression system includes a fluid circuit circulating a refrigerant in a closed loop. The fluid circuit has operably disposed therein, in serial order, a first compressor, an intercooler, a second compressor with a variable capacity, a first heat exchanger, an expansion device and a second heat exchanger. The first compressor compresses the refrigerant from a low pressure to an intermediate pressure. The second compressor compresses the refrigerant from the intermediate pressure to a supercritical pressure. The first heat exchanger is positioned in a high pressure side of the fluid circuit. The second heat exchanger is positioned in a low pressure side of the fluid circuit. The expansion device reduces the pressure of the refrigerant from a supercritical pressure to a relatively lower pressure. Cooling means cools the refrigerant within one of the compressors.

摘要： In a given design of a refrigeration system, the present invention provides a method for reducing the charge of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration system. The refrigeration system includes a fluid conduit through which a flammable refrigerant circulates. The fluid conduit couples, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion device, and a second heat exchanger. The conduit defines an interior diameter, an interior surface, and a given friction factor range. The method includes the steps of reducing the interior diameter of the conduit to thereby reduce the system design refrigerant charge, and coating the interior surface of the reduced diameter conduit with a coating composition to thereby reduce the surface roughness of the interior surface and provide a friction factor for the reduced diameter conduit that is substantially within the given friction factor range.

摘要： A method of operating a vapor compression system, the vapor compression system defining a closed fluid circuit in which a refrigerant is circulated and having operably disposed therein, in serial order, a compressor, a high pressure heat exchanger, an expansion device and a low pressure heat exchanger. The method includes applying a variable thermal load on a first one of the heat exchangers, monitoring the thermal load placed on the first heat exchanger and controlling the operation of the system to limit the thermal load placed on the first heat exchanger when the thermal load exceeds a predetermined value. A heat exchange subsystem employed to limit the thermal load may include reducing the flow of a heat exchange medium over the heat exchanger or to recirculate the heat exchange medium in a manner which reduces the thermal load on the heat exchanger.

摘要： A linear compressor that is operated at a frequency greater than the natural frequency of the spring-mass system of the compressor. Operating the compressor at such a frequency can increase the output of the compressor. In one embodiment, the linear compressor includes a cylinder block having a cylinder bore, a piston positioned within the cylinder bore, first and second springs for positioning the piston where the piston and the first and second springs comprise the spring-mass system, and an armature operably engaged with the piston to drive the piston at a frequency greater than the natural frequency of the spring-mass system. The linear compressor can also include a controller which monitors the instantaneous natural frequency of the spring-mass system and modulates the frequency of the current passing through the armature such that it exceeds the natural frequency of the spring-mass system.

摘要： A rotary compressor comprising a rotor having a plurality of permanent magnets mounted thereon and a stator, where the rotor is aligned with respect to the stator via a magnetic attraction between the permanent magnets and the stator. The compressor includes a housing and is configured such that the rotor does not entirely bear against a top or bottom portion of the compressor housing. The permanent magnets of the rotor are sized and configured such that the magnetic attraction between the magnets and the stator, regardless of whether the stator is energized, positions, or suspends, the rotor substantially intermediate the top and bottom portions of the housing. As a result, less or, possibly, even no friction is experienced between the rotor and the compressor housing which reduces the potential for the rotor to seize or stall and allows the compressor to be operated with little or no oil.
