Abstract: Disclosed is a high efficiency whole house or building air conditioner utilizing condensate water dripped onto the condenser to subcool the heat exchange fluid in the condenser.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high efficiency whole house or room air conditioner having an auxiliary heat exchanger in the liquid line between the condenser and the expansion device where the coolant fluid utilized in the auxiliary heat exchanger is condensate water produced by the evaporator. Also disclosed is a substantially dripless window or wall mounted air conditioner having an auxiliary heat exchanger in the hot gas line between the compressor and the condenser where the coolant fluid utilized in the auxiliary heat exchanger is condensate water and the condensate water coolant fluid is converted to a substantial extent to the gaseous phase by heat exchange with the hot gas line from the compressor.

Abstract: Disclosed are sorbents and sorbent systems made from lightweight expanded silicate aggregates derived from rice hull ash and processes for sorbing liquids using such sorbents and sorbent systems.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lightweight silicate aggregate produced by the steps of mixing together dry rice hull ash, an alkali metal hydroxide, boric acid, and water; heating the mixture to a temperature sufficient to initiate reaction; curing the composition at a temperature less than the boiling point of water until the reaction is complete; comminuting the cured product and heating the comminuted product to form the expanded aggregate. The expanded aggregate is useful as, inter alia, a sorbent, filler, energy insulator or filter.
