Abstract: A heat exchanger has a first inlet in fluid communication with a tank that contains a first chemical solution of a known concentration, and a second inlet in fluid communication with a conduit. The conduit is in fluid communication with a process tool and conveys a second chemical solution from the process tool to the second inlet. The heat exchanger receives a quantity of the first chemical solution via the first inlet and a quantity of the second chemical solution via the second inlet, and adjusts a temperature of the received quantity of the first chemical solution to bring the temperature of the received quantity of the first chemical solution toward a temperature of the received quantity of the second chemical solution. The temperature-adjusted first chemical solution can be selectively provided to an analytic flow cell for verification and/or calibration of the flow cell.

Abstract: The heat sink with opposed elements providing a temperature gradient has first and second thermally conductive elements disposed diametrically opposite each other on opposite sides of a chamber filled with a thermally conductive phase change material (PCM). The first and second thermally conductive elements ascend vertically from a thermoconductive base of the PCM chamber, which is adapted for mounting on the case of a heat source, such as an electronic component that generates heat or has heat applied thereto from its surroundings during operation. The first thermally conductive element is maintained hotter than the second thermally conductive element to provide a temperature gradient across the PCM chamber. The PCM melts as heat is absorbed. Convection currents are induced in the melting PCM that facilitate heat absorption from the heat source while maintaining the heat sink at a relatively low temperature by dissipation of heat through the second thermally conductive element.

The mouthfeel maintaining state is as follows that: the main refrigeration system refrigerates the ice cream material in the freezing cylinder according to the refrigeration capacity close to the lower limit refrigeration capacity. Moreover, the ice cream machine can discharge the all-solid ice cream in the freezing cylinder in the mouthfeel maintaining state.

Abstract: A method of controlling an HVACR unit in an HVACR system including an HVACR unit through which a process fluid is pumped to meet a temperature control demand includes monitoring, by a controller, a flowrate of the process fluid through the HVACR unit. When the flowrate of the process fluid is above a minimum flowrate threshold, the process fluid is provided to one or more terminals in the HVACR system according to the temperature control demand.

When the flowrate of the process fluid is below the minimum flowrate threshold, the controller enables the bypass flow of the process fluid through the bypass line.
