Abstract: A system for controlling a desuperheater includes a first temperature sensor coupled to a refrigerant discharge gas line of a compressor; and a controller operatively coupled to at least the first temperature sensor, the compressor, and the desuperheater. The controller controls the desuperheater based at least in part on temperature data received from the first temperature sensor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a heat pump system and more particularly to a self-contained heat pump system incorporating a microprocessor based control system, a desuperheater, a dedicated refrigerant-potable water heat exchanger, a refrigerant-air heat exchanger, and an external source-refrigerant heat exchanger wherein said heat pump system is simultaneously or alternatively capable of: heating potable water; air conditioning; heating; and dehumidification.

Abstract: A heat pump unit capable of producing hot potable water irregardless of the heating or cooling operation of the heat pump. The heat pump for heating or cooling a conditioned space with potable water heating capability. The heat pump unit having a compressor with a service port, an entrance port and a discharge. A three-way valve is provided connected to the discharge and to the service port of the compressor, and reversing valve is connected to the three-way valve and to the compressor entrance port. A refrigerant-air heat exchanger is connected to the reversing valve outlet and an external source-refrigerant heat exchanger is connected to the reversing valve with a refrigerant-potable water heat exchanger connected to the three-way valve.

Abstract: A digital apparatus for generating an energy log for instant recall and display comprising a microcomputer including microprocessor with interrupt capability, programmable timer, keyboard and digital output. The apparatus is permanently programmed in read-only memory with a task to continuously update data and time information stored in read/write memory, a task to process each interrupt corresponding to pulsed signals indicative of energy usage and to add a unit to one memory location corresponding to that type of energy usage on a given date and a task to select and display time and date and to select and display functions of the contents of the memory locations corresponding to energy usage. The tasks are entirely interrupt activated.
