  • Patent number: 4031911
    Abstract: An improved water temperature control and method for automatic clothes washers having a tub for containing water and a water valve with a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet, a temperature sensing control including a temperature responsive switch for controlling at least one of the water inlets, a water conduit from the water valve to the tub. The improvement is a water sampling tank having an inlet, an outlet, and a water chamber therebetween, the tank being arranged in water flow communication with the conduit between the water valve and the tub so that a small portion of water passing through the conduit is diverted through the chamber. The water temperature responsive switch is in temperature sensing relationship with the water in the chamber.

  • Patent number: 3940861
    Abstract: Condenser apparatus for removing moisture from the air including a housing for the condenser apparatus, which housing has both a cooling liquid inlet and an air inlet at one end. Within the housing is a condensing chamber and a rotatable disc spaced inwardly from the liquid inlet so that when the disc is rotated and liquid is impinged upon the disc a cooling liquid droplet cloud is produced in the condensing chamber. At the opposite end of the condenser housing from the inlet is an air outlet and a concentrically positioned rotatable blower. Located between the blower and the rotatable disc is a rotatable liquid droplet interceptor wheel for collecting entrained liquid droplets before they pass into the blower and depositing them into an underlying bath. Circumferentially around the interceptor wheel is a liquid pump that removes liquid from the condenser apparatus. An electric motor is utilized for rotatably driving all of the rotating elements.
