  • Method and system for reducing moisture carryover in air handlers
    Patent number: 11175066
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration system includes a diffuser comprising a plurality of diffuser elements located between a blower driving airflow through the system and a refrigeration coil used to cool the airflow prior to the distribution of the airflow to a building. Locating diffusers between the blower and the refrigeration coil reduces the extent to which the airflow carries moisture from condensate on the refrigeration coil, and can prevent circulation of air backwards through the refrigeration coil.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2021
    Assignee: TRANE INTERNATIONAL INC.
    Inventors: Abhijith Balakrishna, Brian John Newton

  • UV lamp service life indicator device and method of using the same
    Patent number: 9494327
    Abstract: A UV lamp service life indicator device includes an indicator member including a material that degrades at a rate sufficient to track a useful life of a UV lamp, where the indicator member indicates whether the UV lamp has come to an end of its service life. The indictor device can also include a reference component that indicates whether the UV lamp has come to an end of its service life.
