  • Patent number: 11465228
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for detection of fire states in the presence of welding activities. In some examples, the welding detection system may algorithmically calculate a risk of a fire state developing. In some embodiments, the welding fire detection and prevention system may communicate warning states to users, supervisors, equipment and/or building monitoring systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190178540
    Abstract: A liquid chiller system utilizing a refrigerant capable of possessing a liquid state and a gas/vapor state, the refrigerant being cycled through a closed loop assembly of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve external to the evaporator. The compressor may have a lower integrated reservoir and the evaporator may have an upper dedicated reservoir such that separate, dedicated separator or receiver vessels are not required. The condenser may be positioned above the eccentric evaporator such that liquid refrigerant flows by gravity from the condenser to the evaporator.
