    Date of Patent: May 3, 2022
    Inventor: Randy Prohaska
  • Publication number: 20210095903
    Abstract: A fluid or gas cooling and/or condensing apparatus, system and method provides a cooling apparatus for cooling and condensing material, such as, for example, refrigerant from air conditioners, refrigerators, and other like mechanical cooling devices for collecting the same. Specifically, the cooling apparatus comprises a cold plate having a cooling coil, a heat plate with one or more heat sinks attached thereto wherein heat is transferred from the cold plate to the heat plate, and a fan for cooling the heat plate, further wherein a cooling fluid, such as water, for example, is sent through the coil, and heat is removed therefrom and transferred to the heat plate. The cooled fluid is then circulated through a condenser coil within a cooling cylinder to condense the same for easy collection within a tank or other receptacle. Other gases and/or fluids may be condensed and/or chilled in a similar fashion, such as wine, for example.

  • Patent number: 9618240
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerant cooling and/or condensing apparatus, system and method. Specifically, the present invention provides a cooling apparatus for cooling and condensing refrigerant from air conditioners, refrigerators, and other like mechanical cooling devices for collecting the same. Specifically, the cooling apparatus comprises a cold plate having a cooling coil, a heat plate with one or more heat sinks attached thereto wherein heat is transferred from the cold plate to the heat plate, and a fan for cooling the heat plate, further wherein gaseous refrigerant is sent through the coil, and heat is removed therefrom and transferred to the heat plate. The cooled refrigerant is then easily collected in a tank or other receptacle.
