Water Supply Module and Electric Device Cooling System Comprising Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026273 titled 'Water Supply Module and Electric Device Cooling System Comprising Same

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a water supply module that has a reservoir tank divided into two sections for holding different temperature coolants.

  • The module includes a heat exchanger that allows the coolants to flow through separate passages and exchange heat with a refrigerant passage.
  • A controller with a directional control valve is connected to the reservoir tank to control the flow of the coolants in different directions.
  • The purpose of this invention is to efficiently manage the temperature of the water supply by utilizing different temperature coolants and exchanging heat with a refrigerant.


Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment water supply module includes a reservoir tank partitioned to accommodate a first coolant and a second coolant having different temperatures. A heat exchanger is coupled to the reservoir tank and includes a first coolant passage and a second coolant passage through which the first coolant and the second coolant flow and a refrigerant passage capable of exchanging heat with the first coolant passage and the second coolant passage. A controller is coupled to the reservoir tank and includes a directional control valve configured to control a flow of the first coolant and the second coolant in a plurality of directions.
