  • Patent number: 4706469
    Abstract: A refrigerant flow control system associated with a refrigerant circulating circuit having a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator, includes a branch pipe extending from a discharge pipe of the compressor and having on sealed free end. A first temperature sensor is disposed on the branch pipe near the sealed free end for detecting a condensation temperature of a refrigerant which is condensed in the branch pipe. A second temperature sensor is disposed on the discharge pipe of the compressor for detecting a temperature of the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor. The signals representative of the condensation temperature and the temperature of the discharge gaseous refrigerant are inputted to a control device.

  • Patent number: 4435151
    Abstract: A fuel supply control system including a major area diaphragm and a minor area diaphragm defining therebetween a reference pressure chamber. A control pressure chamber is located adjacent the major area diaphragm on a side thereof opposite to the reference pressure chamber and a controlled pressure chamber is located adjacent the minor area diaphragm on a side thereof opposite to the reference pressure chamber. A valve is connected to the diaphragms for regulating the opening of an orifice of a fuel passage and the controlled pressure chamber serves as a chamber of the fuel passage. The control pressure chamber is connected to a combustion air supply passage system, and the reference pressure chamber is connected to a portion of an air supply and exhaust passage system, in which the pressure is lower than the pressure in the combustion air supply passage system.
