  • Patent number: 9052131
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods can provide a damper assembly for transport refrigeration systems. One embodiment can include a damper assembly including a damper door configured to operate in a first position (e.g., closed), a second position (e.g., open), and at least one intermediate position. In one embodiment, a plurality of intermediate positions can be used to controllably vary a capacity of the transport refrigeration unit, or at least one component thereof. Embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods can provide a damper assembly that can be accessed though an ambient portion of transport refrigeration systems or components.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120125022
    Abstract: A cooling system for a heat source includes a heat source loop, a refrigerant loop, and a controller. The heat source loop provides a closed fluid path for a process fluid and fluidly connects a valve, a bypass leg and/or a heat exchange leg having a heat exchanger, and a pump. The process fluid is disposed within a portion of the loop and is subject to heat transfer from the heat source. The valve is disposed downstream of the heat source portion of the loop, wherein the valve is selectively operable to direct process fluid to the bypass leg and/or the heat exchanger leg. The refrigerant loop provides a closed fluid path for a fluid refrigerant and fluidly connects the heat exchanger, a refrigerant compressor, a refrigerant condenser, and a refrigerant regulator. The controller is in communication with the valve and is adapted to control the valve to regulate an amount of process fluid entering the bypass leg and the heat exchanger leg.
