Abstract: The present invention relates to a charger capable of performing the integrated control and separate control of parallel operations. The charger includes a plurality of charging modules connected in parallel with each other. Each of the charging modules includes a rectification unit for converting input AC power into DC power. The system also includes a power conversion unit, a switching control unit, a DC unit, a detection unit, and a computation control unit. The computation control unit receives the voltage and current, detected by and fed back from the detection unit, computes the voltage and the current, and transmits a control signal required to allow the DC unit to supply a primary constant current, a constant voltage, and a secondary constant current to a battery.

Abstract: A sealing system for sealing a hose to a barb coupling, the hose and barb coupling defining a joint having a high pressure portion associated with the barbed portion of the coupling, and a low pressure portion associated with the barbless portion of the coupling, the system comprising a constant displacement clamping portion for mounting on the portion of the hose positioned over the high pressure portion, and a constant tension clamping portion for mounting on the portion of the hose positioned over the low pressure portion.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly comprises a pair of header members and a plurality of heat transfer tubes passing between the headers members. The heat transfer tubes are adapted to transfer heat between fins on the exterior of the tubes and a working fluid in liquid or gaseous phase within the tubes. A pressure drop minimizing tube passes between the headers and has a cross sectional area significantly larger than the heat transfer tubes. The pressure drop minimizing tube is adapted to carry the working fluid in a gaseous phase either as an inlet, when the heat transfer assembly is utilized as a condenser, or as an outlet, when the heat transfer assembly is utilized as an evaporator. A member connects the pressure drop minimizing tube at one end to at least two of the heat transfer tubes for condensation to a liquid, when the assembly is utilized as a condenser, or transferring gaseous working fluid from the heat transfer tubes to the pressure drop minimizing tubes, when the assembly is utilized as an evaporator.
