  • Publication number: 20030074908
    Abstract: A control method and device for controlling the operation of various components of a refrigeration system provides more efficient operation of those components. Energization of the compressor is delayed upon power interruption, and high pressure is relieved through operation of a valve. The compressor runs is energized if the cabin temperature exceeds a specified temperature for a predetermined length of time, is is de-energized if the cabin temperature drops below a specified temperature. The condenser fan is energized based on the temperature of the condenser coil inlet and the ambient temperature. The evaporator fan is energized based on the cabin temperature and the temperature of the evaporator coil outlet.

  • Patent number: 5809789
    Abstract: A refrigeration module removably suitable for use in either a refrigerator or a freezer uses signals from a series of temperature sensors for refrigeration control. An automatic defrost cycle is initiated when the evaporator outlet temperature drops to a value equal to the inlet temperature and is accompanied by a constant or rising temperature in the refrigerated cabin to which the module is connected. Field service is limited to an exchange of modules, so that refrigerating gas is not lost into the environment.

  • Patent number: 4311082
    Abstract: There is disclosed a gas operated, fully automatic weapon system with a d feed mechanism having a long recoil, soft cycle operation. The automatic weapon system consists of six groups or sub-assemblies. These are the backplate (rear end cap/fire control assembly), the dust cover unit, the dual selective rotary feed unit, the operating group unit, the receiver unit, and the barrel unit. These sub-assemblies combine to provide a weapon characterized by lightness of weight, relatively slight recoil force, relatively slow gunfire rate, excellent manual control resulting in good burst fire accuracy in hitting targets, and safety during operation and disassembly.
