  • Patent number: 12281815
    Abstract: There is provided an air treatment apparatus comprising an air flow generator that is arranged to generate an air flow through the air treatment apparatus, a moisture source that is arranged to introduce water vapour into the air flow, a body that is use surrounds both air flow generator and the moisture source, and a water supply system that is arranged to provide water to the moisture source. The water supply system comprises a water tank assembly that is separable from the body, and the water tank assembly comprises a water tank and a water pump for pumping water from the water tank to the moisture source. The water tank comprises a tank opening and the water tank assembly further comprises a removable tank cap that is arranged to fit over and thereby occlude the tank opening, and wherein the water pump is provided on the removable tank cap.

  • Publication number: 20250035352
    Abstract: Provided is refrigeration system having a circuit around which a refrigerant is circulatable. The circuit includes a compressor, a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the refrigerant and a medium, and an accumulator for accommodating liquid refrigerant. The accumulator is fluidically coupled in a suction line between the heat exchanger and the compressor. The refrigeration system is operable in a cooling mode such that the medium is cooled at the heat exchanger, and the accumulator is oversized at a maximum cooling capacity of the refrigeration system in the cooling mode.
