COOLING DISTRIBUTION WITH ADAPTIVE CONTROL VALVES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098934 titled 'COOLING DISTRIBUTION WITH ADAPTIVE CONTROL VALVES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for controlling coolant flow using pressure sensors to measure pressure differentials between coolant lines and selecting valves based on the measured differentials.

  • Pressure sensors measure pressure differentials of coolant between two coolant lines
  • Coolant flow control valves adjust flow rates based on the pressure differentials
  • A processor selects a valve to provide coolant to a coolant output based on the measured pressure differential

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various cooling systems such as automotive engines, industrial machinery, and HVAC systems.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient coolant flow control based on real-time pressure differentials 2. Preventing overheating by ensuring proper coolant distribution

Benefits

1. Improved cooling system performance 2. Energy efficiency through optimized coolant flow 3. Extended lifespan of equipment due to better temperature regulation

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing coolant flow in automotive engines for improved performance and fuel efficiency.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional coolant flow control systems that rely on fixed valve settings rather than real-time pressure differentials for adjustment.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact energy consumption in cooling systems?

This technology can potentially reduce energy consumption by optimizing coolant flow rates based on actual pressure differentials, leading to more efficient cooling processes.

What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology?

By preventing overheating and improving equipment performance, this technology can lead to cost savings in terms of maintenance and repairs, as well as increased productivity due to reduced downtime.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods include pressure sensors that measure a pressure differential of coolant between a first coolant line and a second coolant line. coolant flow control valves control respective valve flow rates. a processor selects a valve from the flow control valves to provide coolant to a coolant output, responsive to the measured pressure differential.
