  • Patent number: 10352607
    Abstract: A method for controlling a vapor compression system, in particular an opening degree of an expansion valve. According to a first control strategy, the expansion valve is closed until the superheat value has increased above a lower threshold superheat value. According to a second control strategy, the expansion valve is kept open until the suction pressure has increased above a lower threshold suction pressure value. In the case of low superheat value as well as low suction pressure, the second control strategy is selected for a limited period of time.

  • Patent number: 9791174
    Abstract: A method for controlling a vapor compression system during start-up is disclosed. The rate of change, ?T1, of the temperature of refrigerant entering the evaporator, and the rate of change, ?T2, of the temperature of refrigerant leaving the evaporator are compared. Based on the comparing step, a refrigerant filling state of the evaporator is determined. The opening degree of the expansion device is then controlled according to a first control strategy in the case that it is determined that the evaporator is full or almost full, and according to a second control strategy in the case that it is determined that the evaporator is not full. Thereby it is ensured that a maximum filling degree of the evaporator is quickly reached, without risking that liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator.

  • Publication number: 20140163533
    Abstract: A catheter assembly allowing for non-contaminated insertion of the catheter into the urinary canal. The catheter assembly includes a urinary catheter, a catheter package and a sealing member. The urinary catheter defines a conduit and has a proximal end adapted for insertion into the urinary canal and an opposite distal end. The catheter package has a hose with a cavity for accommodation of the catheter, and a catheter outlet adapted to dismantle the proximal end of the catheter from the catheter package. The sealing member is adapted to provide a substantially liquid-tight seal between the catheter package and the urinary catheter while the catheter is being dismantled.
