  • Patent number: 11767384
    Abstract: Polyethylene copolymers with a structure that provides improved film properties are provided. The copolymers can have a density of about 0.905 to about 0.911 g/cm3. The copolymers can also have a DRI/I2 ratio of about 0.0008 to about 0.060, an I2 value of about 0.6 to about 3.8 dg/min, and an I21 value of about 8 to about 57 dg/min. The copolymers having those properties can be produced by introducing ethylene and at least one other olefin comonomer to a single reactor at a comonomer/ethylene mole ratio of about 0.02 to about 0.03 and polymerizing at a temperature of about 76.7° C. to about 80.6° C. and a pressure of about 1,724 kPa to about 2,413 kPa. The copolymers can be used to make films having a 21 mol % O2 transmission rate of about 150 to about 200 cc/100 in2/24 hr. and hot tack seal initiation temperatures of about 65° C. to 80° C.

  • Patent number: 4741175
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a freezer compartment, a fresh food compartment and an evaporator chamber. Air is circulated between the chamber and each compartment. Air from the fresh food compartment is returned through a return duct. The evaporator has one section in the evaporator chamber and another section in the return air duct so that the fresh food compartment return air passes over both of the evaporator sections while the freezer return air passes over only the evaporator section in the evaporator chamber.

  • Patent number: 4196628
    Abstract: A portable in situ psychrometric test apparatus and method for determining, without the use of standard environmental test rooms, the capacity that an air conditioner would exhibit when operated under predetermined standard environmental test conditions. Mutually isolated air flow chambers are detachably mounted to the air intake and air discharge openings of the conditioner. Samples of air flowing through the chambers under normal operation of the conditioner are withdrawn and wet bulb/dry bulb measurements taken at the end of a predetermined operating period. Air velocity through the chambers and condenser environmental air dry bulb temperature are also measured. These measurements give in situ operating capacity which is then converted, using predetermined empirically derived correction factors, to operating capacity under standard environmental conditions.

  • Patent number: 4186563
    Abstract: A circuit containing a plurality of fixed detector resistors and a detector potentiometer, each being representative of the contribution to energy consumption of a different operator controllable parameter of an air conditioner and being series connected with one another across a d.c. galvanometer and meter sensitivity resistor. Shorting switches are connected across each of the detector resistors, the conditions of which switches are responsive to the conditions of corresponding switchable parameters such as fan speed, vent door position, etc. A slide arm of the potentiometer is responsive to thermostat operating temperature setting. The resistance values of each detector resistor and the potentiometer are selected to contribute approximately the same percentage resistance to the total resistance of the detectors as a change in the status of its corresponding control parameter contributes to air conditioner operating cost efficiency.

  • Patent number: 3964271
    Abstract: The present invention provides an air conditioning system for a mobile home. The system includes securing a mounting means to the support structure of the mobile home and an air conditioning unit that is adapted to be removably secured to the mounting means. When installed on the mounting means, the air conditioning unit is aligned to deliver conditioned air into the interior of the mobile home through its built-in air distribution system.

When installed on the mounting means, the air conditioning unit is aligned to deliver conditioned air into the interior of the mobile home through its built-in air distribution system. An interlock system is arranged that is effective in preventing removal of the air conditioning unit from the mounting means when the unit is electrically connected to the mobile home power supply.
