  • Patent number: 10914476
    Abstract: A multi-circuit refrigeration system includes a first plurality of compressors, a second plurality of compressors, and a control panel. The control panel is configured to receive an input related to humidity from a humidity sensor or humidistat. Based on the input, the control panel is configured to sequence operation of the first plurality of compressors and the second plurality of compressors between a balanced mode and a clustered mode. In the balanced mode, a first compressor of the first plurality of compressors and a first compressor of second plurality of compressors are energized before a second compressor of the first plurality of compressors or a second compressor of the second plurality of compressors is energized. In the clustered mode, the first compressor and the second compressor of the first plurality of compressors are energized before the first compressor or the second compressor of the second plurality of compressors is energized.

  • Patent number: 7296839
    Abstract: Coupling member for use with a first component having a projection and a second component includes a first portion and a second portion. At least one of the first portion and the second portion pivots between a closed position in which at least one of the first portion and the second portion is mechanically locked to the projection and an open position enabling the projection to be separated from the member. The member engages the second component to couple the first component to the second component. The second component engages the member to retain the member in the closed position.
