    摘要: An electronic modulating valve for a refrigerant system including a valve body; an electrically actuated valve member mounted in the valve body for modulating flow of fluid through the valve body; an electric power element having at least a portion of an electric actuator; and an electronic controller operably connected to the actuator, in which the actuator is operably connected to the valve member to control movement of the valve member in response to commands from the controller. The valve may include a probe configured to sense a mechanical vibration in the system and/or a refrigerant leak sensor. The controller receives information from the probe and/or leak sensor and controls movement of the valve member via the actuator in response to the information. The controller may be configured with a closed-loop logic architecture to control movement of the valve member via the electric actuator.

    摘要: Technologies described herein are directed to isolating or insulating at least portions of an evaporator coil within a climate control unit (CCU) of a TCCS so as to reduce or even eliminate adverse effects caused by a leaked working fluid. Such adverse effects may include a threat of ignition, asphyxiation of occupants, damage to cargo, and other harmful effects caused by emission of a noxious gas. A leak isolation structure is provided to isolate evaporator tubes of an evaporator coil from at least one of a plurality of turns of the evaporator coil.

    摘要: A cooling system includes a refrigerant cycle having a compressor unit for compressing gaseous refrigerant, a condenser unit for condensing gaseous refrigerant to liquid refrigerant, an optional economizer unit for reducing pressure of the refrigerant and partially evaporating the liquid refrigerant, and an evaporator unit for evaporating the liquid refrigerant to gaseous refrigerant. The refrigerant is cycled from the compressor unit to the condenser unit, from the condenser unit to evaporator unit, and back to the compressor unit. The compressor unit includes at least one bearing assembly and a lubrication cycle providing liquid refrigerant to lubricate the bearing assembly. The lubrication cycle has a lubricating refrigerant supply line, branched from the condenser unit or from the economizer unit to the bearing assembly, and connected to an injection device(s) for introducing lubricating refrigerant into the bearing assembly. A vapor separating unit separates gaseous lubricating refrigerant from liquid phase lubricating refrigerant.
