Patent number: 8902570Abstract: An electrical panelboard enclosure includes an enclosure housing with an interior equipment chamber accessible by way of a service entrance door. A service panel is configured to receive power from a main power source. A main power breaker has a main power breaker toggle switch and is positionable between a power-on state and a power-off state to selectively activate and deactivate the main power. A power cutoff switch mechanism is operable from outside the service entrance door and is positionable between a power-on state and a power-off state to mechanically engage and deactivate the main power breaker toggle switch and cutoff the main power without opening the service entrance door. A lockout system is operable to prevent the service entrance door from being secured in a closed position unless the main power breaker and the power cutoff switch mechanism are in the same state.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Diversified Control, Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Cosley, Alan Amoroso, Aron J. King

Patent number: 8456806Abstract: An electrical panelboard enclosure includes an enclosure housing with an interior equipment chamber accessible by way of a service entrance door. A service panel is adapted for connection to a main power source in order to receive main power therefrom. A power supply is operatively connected to receive main power from the service panel and deliver it to a load. The power supply is also adapted for connection to a backup power source in order to receive backup power therefrom and deliver it to the load in the event of a main power cutoff. A load disconnector is operatively connected between the power supply and the load. The load disconnector is manually operable to disconnect the load from the power supply to prevent the power supply from delivering either main or backup power to the load.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Diversified Control, Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Cosley, Aron J. King, David H. Halik

Publication number: 20090071327Abstract: A filter system including a method for self cleaning the filter system of an electronic equipment enclosure where air flow is monitored either by monitoring fan performance of air flow velocity through the enclosure. The system includes two filters elements, an upstream ASHRAE or HEPA filter element to block particulate matter and a downstream PTFE filter element to block water vapor. The ASHRAE or HEPA filter element is relatively inexpensive and easy to clean. The PTFE filter element is more expensive and difficult to clean. Thus, the cheaper filter is used to protect the more expensive filter from contaminants and to increase its useful life.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2008Publication date: March 19, 2009Applicant: Emerson Network Power, Energy Systems, North America, Inc.Inventors: Steven R.

Patent number: 6834715Abstract: An equipment cabinet mounted on a concrete pad. The cabinet includes an upper equipment chamber, a lower back-up battery chamber and a heat exchanger. Ambient air is drawn across batteries in the lower chamber before being drawn into the heat exchanger to help cool electronic components in the upper chamber. Air in the upper chamber is separate circulated through the heat exchanger. A cold plate is placed beneath the batteries and is connected to a refrigeration system. A heating pad is located below the cold plate and is separated from the concrete pad by insulation. The cold plate and the heating pad are used to maintain the batteries at about 25° C. regardless of ambient temperatures so as to extend the useful lives of the batteries.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2003Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Inventors: Marvin P.

Patent number: 6679315Abstract: A microscale chip cooling system for a heat dissipating item, such as Intel's Pentium brand microprocessor. The system includes a 40 millimeter by 40 millimeter thermally insulated housing including a base and a cover. The system also includes a thermally conductive evaporator. The evaporator is adapted to be attached to a heat source such as the microprocessor. The cover includes inlet and outlet ports and the base includes a capillary passage. A refrigerant or heat transferring fluid is pumped or past through the passage before making a sudden expansion in an expansion zone just before passing to an evaporator chamber. Pool and flow boiling and forced convection may occur in the evaporator chamber as heat is transferred from the microprocessor through the thermally conductive evaporator to the refrigerant. The refrigerant then returns to a compressor to repeat the cycle. The system is extremely small and very efficient.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Marconi Communications, Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Cosley, Richard L. Fischer, Jack H. Thiesen, Gary S. Willen

Publication number: 20030192675Abstract: An electronic equipment cabinet where a top cover is made of upper and lower synthetic resin panels which are welded at their edges to form an air chamber therebetween. The upper panel is domed while the lower panel has a corrugated like structure. Access ports are provided which may be sealed shut. Rain directing berms are also provided to direct rain to the corners of the cover and away from access doors to a sealed electronic equipment chamber in the cabinet. Lateral air and water exhaust passageways extending the width of the cover is provided as a path for exhaust air from a heat exchanger which normally moves in one direction but which under high wind conditions may move in the opposite direction and for allowing the passage of rain water from one side of the cabinet to the opposite side.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2003Publication date: October 16, 2003Inventors: Michael R.
