  • Publication number: 20240167718
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling an air conditioner, an air conditioner and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. After the air conditioner is started and runs for a period of time, the gas phase side valve is controlled to open to switch the air conditioner to the phase separation refrigeration mode. In the phase separation refrigeration mode, the gaseous low-temperature refrigerant can be separated through the gas-liquid separation device, and be controlled to reach the heat exchanger. The refrigerant at the outlet of the condenser is heat exchanged again through the gaseous low-temperature refrigerant and the heat exchanger to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.

  • Patent number: 11945754
    Abstract: A method for forming a complex shape three-dimensional ceramic article by printing a first layer of a first material having a first fraction of first ceramic particles and a first fraction of a first polymeric ceramic precursor. A second layer is printed such that it is at least partially disposed on the first layer of a second material having a second fraction of second ceramic particles and a second fraction of a second polymeric ceramic precursor. A composite of the first layer and the second layer is heated at a temperature sufficient to decompose the first and second polymeric ceramic precursors and sinter the article. During the sintering process, the first and second layers with different fractions of ceramic particles undergo different degrees of shrinkage, resulting in a tuneable mismatch of the bilayer structure and accurately achieving a targeted geometry.

  • Publication number: 20240092013
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of in situ 4D printing of high-temperature materials including 3D printing a structure of an ink including a precursor. The structure is treated with controlled high energy flow to create a portion which has a different coefficient of thermal expansion/thermal shrinkage ratio. The structure is heated and the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion creates an interface stress to cause a selected level of deformation. Alternatively, two structures with different coefficients of expansion/thermal shrinkage ratio may be printed. Thermal treatment of the two structures creates an interface stress to cause a selected level of deformation.
