IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18413746 titled 'IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
The patent application describes a system comprising a refrigeration circuit, low-temperature circuit, and controller. The refrigeration circuit includes a tiller for absorbing heat from cooling water to a refrigerant and a condenser for releasing heat from the refrigerant to the outside, creating a refrigeration cycle. The low-temperature circuit includes the tiller and an external heat exchanger for absorbing heat from the outside to the first heat medium and circulating the cooling water.
- The system includes a refrigeration circuit with a tiller and condenser for heat exchange.
- A low-temperature circuit with a tiller and external heat exchanger is also part of the system.
- The controller can adjust the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the tiller.
- The controller regulates the heat absorption amount at the heat exchanger based on changes in the temperature of the first heat medium.
- If the temperature of the cooling water changes significantly, the controller reduces the change in heat absorption at the heat exchanger.
Potential Applications: - Industrial refrigeration systems - Air conditioning units - Heat pump systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat exchange between different mediums - Temperature regulation in refrigeration systems
Benefits: - Energy savings - Improved system performance - Enhanced temperature control
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Refrigeration System for Industrial Use This technology can be applied in various industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and data centers for efficient cooling and temperature control.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller adjust the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant? The controller uses feedback from the temperature of the first heat medium to regulate the heat absorption at the heat exchanger.
2. What are the potential energy savings associated with this system? By optimizing the heat absorption based on temperature changes, the system can reduce energy consumption significantly.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a refrigeration circuit, low-temperature circuit and controller. The refrigeration circuit includes: a tiller for absorbing heat from a colling water to a refrigerant; and a condenser for releasing heat from the refrigerant to an outside, and realizes a refrigeration cycle by circulating the refrigerant therethrough. The low-temperature circuit includes the tiller and an external heat exchanger for absorbing heat from an outside to the first heat medium, and circulate the cooling water therethrough. The controller can change a heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the tiller. The controller controls the device so that a change in the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the first heat exchanger in accordance with a change in a temperature of the first heat medium is reduced, if the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the first heat exchanger changes by a reference value or more.
