Abstract:
A method for defrosting a refrigeration system (38) makes provison for partial defrosting of the cooling surface (39) to be carried out at relatively short intervals, and for full defrosting to be carried out at longer intervals. To that end an associated control unit (41) has four timers (44 to 47) which determine the switching on and switching off times of the defrosting processes. In this manner the interval between successive full defrostings can be considerably increased.
Abstract:
A process for controlling a refrigeration system, as well as the refrigeration system and a new expansion valve for the refrigeration system. An electronic regulator is used to operate a sensor system having a device for applying heat power to the sensor system in direct dependence on sensed superheat of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator. By locating the sensing system in communication with liquid refrigerant upstream of the evaporator, heat transfer to the liquid refrigerant is utilized for operation of the sensor system rather than heat transfer to the superheat, resulting in a far more stable and efficient refrigeration control.
Abstract:
A control arrangement for the superheat temperature of at least one evaporator (8) of a refrigeration system having a refrigerant circulation, in which at least one compressor, a condenser, an electronically controlled expansion valve (7) and the evaporator (8) are arranged in series, contains a measuring device (9, 10, 11) connected to the evaporator (8), which device produces a measurement signal (Tü) that is a measure of the superheat temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator (8), a comparator (1) to which the measurement signal (Tü) and a desired superheat temperature signal (Tüs) are arranged to be supplied, and a PID controller (2) arranged between the comparator (1) and the expansion valve (7). For rapid compensation of changes in the superheat temperature, a control signal (S) proportional to the evaporation temperature (To) of the refrigerant is arranged to be supplied additionally to the PID controller (2).
Abstract:
A control arrangement for cooling of apparatus comprising a compressor (1), a condenser (2) and at least one branch (3) with an expansion valve (4) and an evaporator (5) in series, contains a controller (6), a superheat temperature measuring device (8) and an ambient temperature sensor (7). The controller (6) controls the expansion valve (4) for maintaining the superheat temperature substantially at the desired value. The flow of coolant to the evaporator (5) is controlled by the signal from the temperature sensor (7) for maintaining the ambient temperature constant. The controller (6) operates continuously and in two operating modes in which in the first mode the superheat temperature is controlled to the maximum admissible state of fill of liquid coolant in the evaporator (5), and is switchable to a second mode in which the state of fill of liquid coolant is controlled by the expansion valve (4).
Abstract:
In a process for regulating a refrigerating system (1) using an expansion valve (4), one side of the regulating member is pressed by the pressure of refrigerant at the evaporator side and the other side of the regulating member is pressed by the vapour pressure of a sensor system (22) whose sensor temperature is determined by the refrigerant saturation temperature and by the heat supplied by a heating element (27). Heat supply is regulated depending on a measurement value (overheating or liquid level). Also disclosed is a refrigerating system (1) regulated in this manner and an expansion valve (4) as essential component of such a system. An improved, economic and universally applicable regulation can thus be obtained.
Abstract:
In a method for controlling the superheat temperature (Tü) of the refrigerant in an evaporator arrangement (1) of a refrigeration system or heat pump system (1-4), the evaporator arrangement (1), a compressor arrangement (2), a condenser (3) and a controllable expansion valve arrangement (4) are arranged in succession in a closed circuit. The superheat temperature (Tü) is controlled in dependence on a comparison between desired and actual values. The desired value (W2) of the superheat temperature (Tü is varied automatically in dependence on the difference (d) from a reference value (W1) of a periodically determined function (S) of a number of sampled values of a temperature (T1; T2) of the refrigerant with the aim of a stable control of the superheat temperature (Tü). To achieve optimum filling and to optimize the superheating in such systems, provision is made for the said function (S) to characterize the variability of a number of sampled values of the temperature (T2) of the refrigerant at the output of the evaporator arrangement (4) about a mean value of the sampled values.
Abstract:
A hydraulic control valve for controlling flow between a pump, a hydraulic device, and a vessel containing hydraulic fluid. The control valve has an elongated valve slide which is slidably mounted in an elongated valve housing. The valve has three positions, a central neutral position, a float position axially offset in one direction from the neutral position and a constant pressure position axially offset in the opposite direction from the neutral position. In the neutral position, flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic device is inhibited. In the float position, connection is such that a raised device, such as a hydraulically operated bucket, is lowered slowly by gravity until it rests on the ground or another object. In the constant pressure position, the valve connects pump pressure to the load sensing circuit to facilitate, for example, shaking of a bucket of a piece of earth moving equipment.

Abstract:
A micromixer (5) is disclosed having a mixing chamber that is connected to a first inlet channel arrangement, into the wall (6) of which mixing chamber there opens a second inlet channel arrangement by way of at least one opening (10). Such a micromixer is intended to render possible rapid and predeterminable mixing of fluids. For that purpose, there is arranged on the wall (6) adjacent to the opening (10) at least one projection (7) that extends transversely to the direction of flow, the extent of which is greater than the extent of the opening transverse to the direction of flow.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a corrosion proof pump or motor with an inner, outside toothed tooth wheel rotating around a first centre, whereby the inner tooth wheel engages an outer, inside toothed tooth wheel rotating around a second centre which is displaced in relation to the first centre, whereby both the inner and the outer tooth wheels rotate between side plates, and the outer tooth wheel rotates in an outer bearing which is at the same time a distance piece between the side plates. The pump or motor is especially suited for media with a low viscosity, in that the side plates and/or the outer bearing and/or at least one of the tooth wheels consist of a binding material containing reinforcement and/or wear resistance improving and/or friction reducing materials.
