COOLING SYSTEM FOR A PRIME MOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044280 titled 'COOLING SYSTEM FOR A PRIME MOVER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cooling system for a prime mover, which includes a cooling jacket within the housing of the prime mover. Refrigerant is circulated through the cooling jacket to cool the prime mover. The system also includes a compressor to compress the refrigerant that flows out of the cooling jacket, a condenser to discharge heat from the compressed refrigerant, and an expansion device to control the flow of refrigerant from the condenser back to the cooling jacket.

  • The cooling system comprises a cooling jacket within the housing of the prime mover.
  • Refrigerant is circulated through the cooling jacket to cool the prime mover.
  • A compressor is used to compress the refrigerant that flows out of the cooling jacket.
  • The compressed refrigerant is discharged heat from by a condenser.
  • An expansion device controls the flow of refrigerant from the condenser back to the cooling jacket.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cooling systems for various types of prime movers, such as engines or turbines.
  • Industrial machinery that requires efficient cooling to maintain optimal performance.
  • Power generation systems that need effective cooling for the prime mover.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overheating of prime movers, which can lead to reduced efficiency and potential damage.
  • Inadequate cooling systems that cannot effectively dissipate heat generated by the prime mover.
  • Inefficient use of energy due to poor cooling methods.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved cooling efficiency, leading to better performance and longevity of the prime mover.
  • Energy savings due to the effective use of refrigerant and optimized cooling process.
  • Enhanced reliability and reduced maintenance requirements for prime movers.


Original Abstract Submitted

a cooling system for a prime mover is disclosed. the cooling system comprises at least one cooling jacket defined within a housing of the prime mover and receives refrigerant therein for cooling the prime mover. a compressor is in flow communication with an outlet port of the at least one cooling jacket and compresses refrigerant that flows from the outlet port of the at least one cooling jacket. a condenser is in flow communication with an outlet port of the compressor and discharges heat from refrigerant that is received from the compressor. an expansion device is in flow communication with an outlet port of the condenser at its inlet port and in flow communication with an inlet port of the at least one cooling jacket at its outlet port. the expansion device controls a flow of refrigerant from the condenser to the at least one cooling jacket is also disclosed.
