Publication number: 20230217076Abstract: A method for recommending feed sources in an event feed includes generating an event feed comprising a plurality of feed items associated with a user. The event feed includes a recommendation feed item comprising one or more feed item sources not being followed by the user. The method further includes causing at least a portion of the event feed to be displayed to the user in the event feed. In accordance with a determination that the user is viewing a graphical user interface associated with a first software application, the recommendation feed item includes feed item sources associated with the first software application.

Patent number: 11635238Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward purge units of vapor compression systems, and methods of control thereof, that improve efficiency by selectively activating and deactivating the purge unit in response to one or more conditions to, for example, enable refrigerant-to-air ratios within the purge unit within certain industry standards while still minimizing the durations of the purge cycles. For example, in certain embodiments, these conditions may include conditions within the chiller condenser, time since last purge activation, time since last venting of non-condensables, and combinations thereof. By reducing an amount of time that the purge unit would be active without removing a substantial amount non-condensables from the vapor compression system, present embodiments reduce the power consumption of the purge unit, as well as the vapor compression system as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: David Andrew Bradshaw, Andrew Michael Welch, Curtis C.

Patent number: 11466912Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward purge units of vapor compression systems, and methods of control thereof, that selectively activate and deactivate the purge unit in response to one or more conditions to, for example, control refrigerant-to-air ratios while still minimizing the durations of the purge cycles. For example, in certain embodiments, these conditions may include conditions within the chiller condenser, time since last purge activation, time since last venting of non-condensables, and combinations thereof. By reducing an amount of time that the purge unit would be active without removing a substantial amount non-condensables from the vapor compression system, present embodiments reduce the power consumption of the purge unit, as well as the vapor compression system as a whole, while still being responsive to prevent or mitigate a loss of efficiency due to a substantial accumulation of non-condensables in the condenser of the vapor compression system.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Johnson Controls TYCO IP Holdings LLPInventors: David Andrew Bradshaw, Andrew Michael Welch, Curtis C.
