  • Patent number: 11920834
    Abstract: A heat pump includes a refrigerant loop. The refrigerant loop includes a compressor, a first region of a first heat exchanger, a first branching point, a first shutoff valve, a second shutoff valve, and a second heat exchanger. The compressor includes a low-pressure inlet, a mid-pressure inlet, and an outlet. The first heat exchanger is positioned immediately downstream of the outlet of the compressor. The first branching point is positioned immediately downstream of the first region of the first heat exchanger. The refrigerant loop splits into a first path and a second path at the first branching point. The first shutoff valve is positioned along the first path and immediately downstream of the first branching point. The second shutoff valve is positioned along the second path and immediately downstream of the first branching point. The second heat exchanger is downstream of the first heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 7534084
    Abstract: A modular tow trailer assembly tows cargo behind a motor vehicle. A base assembly pivotally connects to a fork assembly. A hydraulic lifting cylinder moves the wheels downward relative to the fork assembly to raise the fork assembly into a towing position with the load substantially centered over the trailer's wheels. The tow trailer is readily partially disassembled for fitting within a cargo container and transporting within a cargo carrier in field conditions.
