Patent number: 6854285Abstract: A controller for an expansion valve of a refrigeration system for cooling a medium is configured to include, in the generation of a control signal, a measure of the evaporation temperature (T0) of the refrigerant in an evaporator and a measure of a property of the cooled medium, preferably without influence from a measure of the superheat temperature (SH) of the refrigerant. The controller comprises a PI-element for integrating and for producing a control signal for the expansion valve for controlling the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, the PI-element being arranged in an inner control loop, a reference for which is produced by an outer control loop. The controller allows for fast response to disturbances and/or fast response of the medium temperature when the operating conditions of the refrigeration system are changed and/or fast response during start-up of the refrigeration system and maintains stable operation conditions with low, but positive superheating and a stable evaporation pressure.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2003Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Danfoss A/SInventor: Lars Mou Jessen

Patent number: 6852064Abstract: An electronic transmission control system that can achieve a transmission ratio based on the operator inputs and the current vehicle operating conditions. The transmission constantly connects the engine to the load, and the transmission ratio is only varied by a change in command from the present invention. The transmission's mechanical function is solely to vary the ratio between its input and output. In using the present invention, an operator must select an operating mode, either automatic or manual, using a two-position switch. While in the automatic mode, the present invention determines the vehicle speed by considering the position of the throttle and the operator's use of brakes. In the manual mode, the present invention further considers the operator's selection of a gear condition.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2003Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Sauer-Danfoss, Inc.Inventors: Ryan R. Carlson, Manfred Maiers, Steven H. Gluck

It is endeavoured to make such steering arrangements suitable for fast motorboats. For this purpose it is ensured that with a load on the steering motor the pressure drop over the bypass throttle is larger than the sum of the pressure drops between a point before the first throttle and a point after the last throttle of the throttling device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Applicant: Sauer-Danfoss ApSInventors: Poul Pedersen, Tom Rudolph, Lee Mahlum, Radoslaw Kornicki, Bjarne Schmidt
