COOLING MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546495 titled 'COOLING MECHANISM
Simplified Explanation
The cooling mechanism described in the patent application includes a cooling circuit and a compressor cooling path branched from the cooling circuit and joined to the cooling circuit after passing through the inside of a compressor. Additionally, there is a flow rate adjustment valve that controls the flow rate of cooling water inside the compressor based on the temperature of the intake air at the outlet of the compressor.
- The cooling mechanism includes a cooling circuit and a compressor cooling path.
- A flow rate adjustment valve controls the flow rate of cooling water inside the compressor.
- The valve adjusts the flow rate based on the temperature of the intake air at the compressor outlet.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various cooling systems for compressors, such as in air conditioning units, refrigeration systems, and industrial machinery.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient cooling of compressors by adjusting the flow rate of cooling water based on the intake air temperature. 2. Preventing overheating and potential damage to compressors by regulating the cooling process effectively.
Benefits
1. Improved performance and longevity of compressors. 2. Energy efficiency by optimizing the cooling process. 3. Reduced maintenance costs due to better temperature control.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing cooling systems in HVAC units for residential and commercial buildings.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of temperature sensors in cooling systems to regulate the flow rate of cooling water. However, the specific configuration of a flow rate adjustment valve based on the intake air temperature may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the flow rate adjustment valve precisely control the flow rate of cooling water inside the compressor?
The patent application mentions that the valve adjusts the flow rate based on the temperature of the intake air at the compressor outlet, but it does not provide details on the mechanism behind this precise control.
Are there any potential limitations or drawbacks to using this cooling mechanism in certain compressor systems?
While the benefits of the technology are highlighted, it would be useful to know if there are any specific limitations or drawbacks to consider when implementing this cooling mechanism in different types of compressors.
Original Abstract Submitted
A cooling mechanism includes: a cooling circuit ; and a compressor cooling path branched from the cooling circuit and joined to the cooling circuit after passing through an inside of a compressor . The cooling mechanism includes a flow rate adjustment valve configured to control a flow rate of cooling water flowing inside the compressor . The flow rate adjustment valve is configured to make the flow rate of the cooling water flowing inside the compressor when a temperature of intake air at an outlet of the compressor is lower than a temperature of the cooling water lower than the flow rate of the cooling water flowing inside the compressor when the temperature of the intake air at the outlet of the compressor becomes equal to or higher than the temperature of the cooling water.
