    摘要: A vapor compression air conditioning (cooling and heating) system adapted for operation to reduce the consumption of electric power during peak periods of demand for power is characterized by three refrigerant circuits. A refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, outdoor heat exchanger and first indoor heat exchanger for selectively cooling or heating an indoor air space and a second refrigerant circuit comprises the compressor, outdoor heat exchanger and a thermal energy storage unit characterized by a tank having a thermal energy storage medium disposed therein and a heat exchanger coil in communication with the compressor and outdoor heat exchanger for cooling the thermal energy storage medium. A third refrigerant circuit includes the thermal energy storage heat exchanger coil, a refrigerant pump and another indoor heat exchanger in communication with the fluid (e.g., indoor air) to be cooled or heated. Plural isolation valves in the first and second refrigerant circuits, reversing valves in communication with the compressor and pump and a heater in the storage tank provide for operating the system in plural cooling and heating modes to provide cooling and heating with reduced power consumption during peak electrical power demand periods.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to an air processing system for an enclosed area that includes a plenum, an air processing unit communicating with the plenum and responsive to a temperature sensing means, air-passing light fixtures for lighting the enclosed area, duct means through which the air processing unit receives return air via two separate paths, one being in heat exchange relationship with the light fixtures, damper means for controlling the passage of air through the duct means, and exhaust means for exhausting air from the plenum to the atmosphere. The damper means are constructed and arranged so as to maximize the use of heat from the light fixtures whenever heat is required in the enclosed area and to discharge such heat from the light fixtures to the atmosphere in order to reduce the cooling requirement when cooling is required in the enclosed area.

A first circuit includes a compressor, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. A second circuit comprises the compressor, the first heat exchanger and a third heat exchanger. A third circuit comprises the third heat exchanger, a refrigerant pump and a thermal energy storage unit characterized by a tank having a thermal energy storage medium disposed therein. A fourth circuit includes the thermal energy storage unit, the refrigerant pump and a fourth heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is an outdoor heat exchanger. The second and fourth heat exchangers are indoor heat exchangers in heat transfer relationship with the fluid (e.g., indoor supply air) to be cooled or heated. A first refrigerant, preferably a compressible phase change fluid, is circulated in the first and second circuits by the compressor. A second refrigerant, preferably an incompressible liquid, is circulated in the third and fourth circuits. The system is operable in plural cooling and heating modes to provide load leveling between vapor compression heating and cooling using the compressor and heating and cooling using the thermal energy storage unit, to achieve reduced power consumption during peak electrical power demand periods.
