  • Compressor temperature control systems and methods
    Patent number: 10180138
    Abstract: A system for controlling capacity of a compressor comprises a minimum determination module (204) selectively increasing a minimum capacity of a compressor when a temperature of the compressor is greater than a first predetermined temperature; and a control module (104) increasing an actual capacity of the compressor in response to an increase in the minimum capacity. A method for controlling capacity of a compressor is also disclosed. The system and method modulate the capacity of the compressor according to the different temperatures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 15, 2019
    Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.

  • Static dissipative filtration media
    Patent number: 8080086
    Abstract: A filtration media that incorporates a static dissipative media layer for dissipating the static charge that builds up as a fluid, such a fuel, passes through the filtration media. The filtration media includes a filter media suitable for filtering fluid, and a static dissipative media layer. The static dissipative media layer has a surface resistivity level that is sufficient to classify the media layer as static dissipative rather than conductive.

  • Compressor discharge valve retainer
    Patent number: 6840271
    Abstract: A discharge valve retainer is manufactured from powder metal using FLC4608, FL4405, FC0205 or FC0208 material. The finisher retainer has a density of approximately 6.8 to 7.6 gm/cc. The retainer is carbonitrided, quenched and tempered to achieve a surface hardness of Rockwell 15N 89-93. The exterior of the retainer is contoured to provide for the non-turbulent flow of pressurized gas around the discharge valve.
