Condensate-free outdoor air cooling unit

Номер: US20130061615A1
Автор: Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Omer
Принадлежит: ADVANCED TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS GMBH

A highly efficient condensate-free cooling unit functionally based on vapor-compression refrigeration cycle has been described. The condensate collected from the evaporator of the cooling unit is routed through a sub-cooling heat exchanger where it exchanges heat with the primary heat exchange medium emerging through the condenser of the cooling unit, thus, sub-cooling the primary heat exchange medium to a lower temperature before it enters the expansion valve. Emerging from the sub-cooling heat exchanger, the condensate flows through a condensate outlet pipe into multiple spray nozzles disposed over the condensate outlet pipe. The spray nozzles sprinkle the condensate over the hot air blown into the condenser to reduce its temperature. The cooling unit has a substantially higher coefficient of performance compared to the conventional cooling units utilizing vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, and eliminates the problems of condensate removal persistent in the art.

Stadium ambient temperature control system

Номер: US20170003042A1
Автор: Dustin W. Schafer, Phillip G. Miller
Принадлежит: Henderson Engineers Inc

A system for controlling ambient temperatures of exposed structures using phase change materials and/or tempered liquid delivery systems. Phase change materials may be fabricated to hold the surrounding temperature at a desired temperature, such as 70 degrees Fahrenheit/21 degrees Celsius. As the heat load rises above this desired temperature, the heat is absorbed into the phase change material until that material has completely transitioned through its phase change, after which it will no longer absorb heat load. As the temperature then cools off at night, the heat is released from the phase change material, and the material changes back into its original phase. Phase change material may be placed within or on the exterior of stadium chairs. A liquid piping system may also be used to provide ambient heat control, including liquid piping for piping temperature-controlled liquid throughout the stadium while preventing condensation.

The present disclosure relates to an air-conditioner. In particular the present disclosure relates to a portable air-conditioner.Air conditioning (AC) is a collective expression for conditioning air into a desired state. It could be heating the air during cold periods, cooling the air during warmer periods or for cleaning the air if it contains unwanted particles. However, the expression air conditioning is most often used when emphasizing cooling. As a product, air conditioners can look and be used in various ways, but they all share the same basic technology.Existing portable air-conditioners are often found to be large, hard to handle, noisy and inefficient. Furthermore, the connected exhaust air outlet that removes the heat from the room is often complicated and inefficient in its design. A known portable air-conditioner is for example described in the U.S. Pat. No. 2,234,753.The design of portable AC systems differs from other Air Conditioners because all the components of the system are mounted inside of a packed unit which has to work inside of the conditioned space, releasing the residual energy (generated in the normal cooling process) through an air exhaust ...
