Patents by Inventor Paolo CHIARAMONTE

Paolo CHIARAMONTE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11906219
    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle may include a compressor and a flash tank. The flash tank is configured for receiving a refrigerant and separating liquid refrigerant and vapour refrigerant. The compressor is configured for compressing the refrigerant and includes a suction port and an injection port. The flash tank is connected to the injection port of the compressor via an injection valve. A method of controlling injection into the compressor includes determining a pressure in the flash tank and controlling the injection valve based on the determined pressure in the flash tank.

  • Patent number: 11885537
    Abstract: A method of controlling injection into a compressor in a refrigeration cycle is described. A refrigeration cycle may comprise at least an economizer heat exchanger, a heat rejection heat exchanger, a first expansion device, and a compressor. A discharge port of the compressor is connected to the heat rejection heat exchanger via a discharge line and an injection port of the compressor is connected to the means for compressing. The economizer heat exchanger comprises a first path having an input connected to the heat rejection heat exchanger and an output connected to the first expansion device, and a second path having an input connected to the heat rejection heat exchanger via an economizer valve and an output connected to the injection port of the compressor via an injection line. The economizer valve is regulated based on a superheat level of the refrigerant in the economizer heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20210348813
    Abstract: A method of controlling injection into a compressor in a refrigeration cycle is described wherein the method is performed in a refrigeration cycle, which comprises at least a flash tank configured for receiving a refrigerant and separating liquid refrigerant and vapour refrigerant, and a compressor configured for compressing the refrigerant, wherein the compressor comprises a means for compressing, a suction port and an injection port, which is connected to the means for compressing for at least a time instance of the refrigeration cycle, wherein the flash tank is connected to the injection port of the compressor via an injection valve. The method comprises determining a pressure in the flash tank and controlling the injection valve based on the determined pressure in the flash tank.
