The evaporator includes a shell having an evaporation chamber and a compensation chamber defined therein, a partition being received in the shell and partitioning the evaporation chamber and the compensation chamber, and a wick structure being adhered to an inner wall of the shell corresponding to the evaporation chamber and extending through the partition and into the compensation chamber. The loop heat pipe includes the evaporator mentioned above, a pipe connecting two opposite ends of the evaporator to form a closed loop and a working medium contained in the closed loop. | 06-24-2010 |
20100170656 | HYBRID REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS - A hybrid water cooler for cooling water and air while heating water and storing heated water includes a refrigeration system, a first water tank, a water inlet and heat transfer unit for transferring heat from the refrigeration system into a portion of the water from the water inlet. The cooler also has a conduit for delivering heated water to a first insulated water tank and to a tap for drawing off heated water. In addition, the cooler has a water cooling system and a conduit for cooling a portion of the water from the water inlet and delivering the cooled water to a second water tank. A conduit is also provided for drawing water from the second water tank to a tap of cold water. Further, the cooler includes an air cooler that has a coil and a water pump for pumping cooled water through the coil plus a fan for blowing air across the coil to thereby cool the air. | 07-08-2010 |
20100300649 | VENTILATION DEVICE AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF THE SAME - A ventilation device and a controlling method of the same are provided. The ventilation device may include a humidifier having improved humidification efficiency and improved durability. | 12-02-2010 |
20120012277 | Method and System for Controlling Evaporative and Heat Withdrawal Performance of an Occupant Support Surface - A method for controlling performance of an MCM capable support surface having a flowpath for guiding a stream of air along at least a portion of the surface, comprises specifying a desired evaporative rate greater than an evaporative rate achievable with unconditioned ambient air, chilling the unconditioned ambient air to a temperature at least as low as that required to achieve 100% relative humidity, thereby demoisturizing the air, and supplying the chilled, demoisturized air to the flowpath. The method may also include the step of heating the chilled, demoisturized air prior to step of supplying it to the flowpath. A system for carrying out the method includes a microclimate management (MCM) capable support surface | 01-19-2012 |
20140116646 | Conflated Air Conditioning System - The primary object of the present invention is to provide a basis for the design and implementation of a heating and cooling system (air conditioning system) which will reduce energy consumption over the presently used systems, reduce equipment and installation cost, and reduce maintenance cost. The use of this invention can mostly be used (but not only) in any commercial or residential building requiring heating and cooling. This system allows heating and cooling with water-cooled, self-contained air conditioning units or heat pumps, served by 2-pipe or single pipe, viable without heat pump operation, and can utilize waterside economizer. The system eliminates the need of having separate condenser water and separate hot water piping connections to the self-contained terminal air conditioning units. In cooling mode, the 2-pipe system or the single pipe system serves as condenser water piping from the cooling tower, and at appropriate outdoor temperature the colder water is supplied through the same piping to the economizer coil, thus saving the compressor work. At heating mode, the 2-pipe system or single pipe system from the boiler serves as hot water piping to the same coil serving also as the economizer coil. | 05-01-2014 |
20140262144 | MEMBRANE-INTEGRATED ENERGY EXCHANGE ASSEMBLY - A method of forming a membrane panel configured to be secured within an energy exchange assembly may include forming an outer frame defining a central opening, and integrating a membrane sheet with the outer frame. The membrane sheet spans across the central opening, and is configured to transfer one or both of sensible energy or latent energy therethrough. The integrating operation may include injection-molding the outer frame to edge portions of the membrane sheet. Alternatively, the integrating operation may include laser-bonding, ultrasonically bonding, heat-sealing, or the like, the membrane sheet to the outer frame. | 09-18-2014 |
20140262145 | HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM - A system for the recovery of heat from gases. A heat recovery system uses a wetted heat transfer surface to recover heat from a bulk gas, such as a flue gas. The system utilizes wetted heat transfer tubes which are sprayed in a manner to minimize the film thickness of the wetting on the heat transfer tubes. To improve efficiency, the contact liquid used to wet the heat transfer tubes is maintained at a temperature between the temperature of the exiting cooled gas and the temperature of the inlet (cool) process fluid to be heated. Such heat recovery system design criteria enhance performance, and thus enable more efficient heat recovery to be practiced, particularly in systems where combustion gases are encountered. | 09-18-2014 |
