  • Patent number: 10670333
    Abstract: A self-contained water cooler module for use with a water dispenser includes a chassis. The chassis includes a back panel, a pair of spaced side panels extending forwardly from the back panel, a bottom panel extending forwardly from the back panel and attached to bottom edges of the pair of spaced side panels, and the back panel, side panels and bottom panel are constructed of a single, unitary sheet. A strut interconnects front edges of the pair of spaced side panels. A support bracket interconnects the back panel and the horizontal frame member. A refrigeration unit includes an evaporator, a condenser, a fan and motor assembly, and a compressor. The refrigeration unit is attached to the chassis. A water storage tank is configured to receive cooled water from the refrigeration unit. The chassis is configured to be attached to and detached from the water dispenser via a tool-free connection.

  • Patent number: 8225621
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting and correcting unintended reverse or backward operation of an electric motor driven scroll compressor of a refrigeration system is characterized by monitoring the pressure at a suction side of the compressor during operation of the refrigeration and determining whether the pressure, after a first time interval following startup of the compressor, exceeds and remains in excess of a predetermined upper pressure limit for at least a second time interval. If it does, the compressor is turned off for a third time interval and is then restarted. The foregoing is repeated and if the compressor is turned off a selected number of times because of successive occurrences of high suction side pressures during operation of the refrigeration system in a chilling cycle, an error indication is generated and the refrigeration system is shut down.
