IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239158 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, circulating the cooling water through it. The controller can adjust the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the tiller, controlling the device to reduce changes in heat absorption based on temperature fluctuations in the cooling water flowing through the heat exchanger.

  • 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 for absorbing heat from the outside.
  • A controller that can adjust the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the tiller.
  • The controller reduces changes in heat absorption based on temperature fluctuations in the cooling water.
  • The system optimizes the refrigeration cycle and heat exchange processes.

Potential Applications: - Industrial refrigeration systems - Air conditioning units - Heat pump systems

Problems Solved: - Efficient heat exchange processes - Temperature control in refrigeration systems

Benefits: - Energy savings - Improved system performance - Reduced environmental impact

Commercial Applications: Title: Energy-Efficient Refrigeration Systems for Industrial Use This technology can be applied in various industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and data centers to improve cooling efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller adjust the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the tiller? The controller uses sensors to monitor temperature changes in the cooling water and adjusts the heat absorption accordingly.

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this system? By optimizing heat exchange processes and reducing energy consumption, businesses can save on operational costs in the long run.


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.
