Abstract: A method for controlling a vapor compression system, such as a refrigeration system, preferably an air condition system, comprising at least two evaporators. While monitoring a superheat (SH) at a common outlet for the evaporators, the amount of available refrigerant is controlled in response to the SH and in order to obtain an optimum SH value. The available refrigerant is distributed among the evaporators in accordance with a distribution key. The distribution key is preferably obtained while taking individual consideration to operating conditions for each of the evaporators into account. Thereby the vapor compression system can be operated in such a way that each of the evaporators is operated in an optimal manner, and in such a way that the system in general is operated in an optimal manner.

Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigerant distribution in a vapour compression system, such as a refrigeration system, e.g. an air condition system, comprising at least two evaporators. The refrigerant distribution determines the distribution of the available amount of refrigerant among the evaporators. While monitoring a superheat, SH, at a common outlet for the evaporators, the distribution of refrigerant is modified in such a manner that a mass flow of refrigerant to a first evaporator is altered in a controlled manner. The impact on the monitored SH is then observed, and this is used for deriving information relating to the behaviour of the first evaporator, in the form of a control parameter. This is repeated for each evaporator, and the refrigerant distribution is adjusted on the basis of the control parameters. The impact may be in the form of a significant change in SH.

Abstract: A ring and loop puzzle having a pair of spaced vertically upstanding members affixed at their bottom to a common rigid base and at their top to an upper frame section having an aperture therein. To each of the rods are rigidly affixed a set of horizontally extending posts vertically aligned and spaced such that the posts of one set alternate but only partially mesh with the posts of the other set. The ends of the posts are formed into eyes which loosely capture respective rings that hang vertically downward such that each ring encircles two underlying posts between the eye and fixed end of each such underlying post, except that the ring next to the bottom encircles only one underlying post and the bottom ring, no posts. Used in conjunction with the puzzle is a flexible closed loop line which is manipulated through and over the rings in working the puzzle.
