  • Patent number: 9664434
    Abstract: An evaporative condensate dissipation system includes a receptacle configured to receive and accumulate a liquid condensate from a cooling element of a refrigeration system, a rotating element (e.g., an array of plates, a rotating drum, etc.) disposed at least partially within the receptacle such that a portion of the rotating element is submerged in the liquid condensate, and a motor configured to cause the rotating element to rotate such that a portion of the rotating element is periodically submerged in the liquid condensate and emerged from the liquid condensate. A fan may be used to provide an airflow across a surface of the rotating element to increase expedite evaporative dissipation. The fan and/or motor may be operably controlled by a switch or sensor responsive to a level of the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8925345
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a fin pack, with a first supply header and a first return header at the first end of the fin pack. A first group of U-shaped tubes is provided with a first segment extending from the first supply header to the second end of the fin pack, and a second segment extending from the second end of the fin pack to the first return header. A second supply header and a second return header are also provided at the first end of the fin pack. A second group of U-shaped tubes is provided with a first segment extending from the second supply header to the second end of the fin pack, and a second segment extending from the second end of the fin pack to the second return header, where the second plurality of U-shaped tubes is disposed inwardly of the first plurality of U-shaped tubes.
