  • Patent number: 11867437
    Abstract: A dual reclaim coil with a smart control application is provided that allows the refrigerant inlet to the HVAC unit switch between the two sides of the condenser for heat reclaim for refrigerants such as CO2 which have a relatively low critical temperature compared to hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants. Heat reclaim after the exit of gas from the condenser utilizes the high temperature and pressure of the condenser/gas cooler outlet while a CO2 refrigerant system is operating above critical point. This occurs in hot ambient conditions, when the need for heating in the space is not as great as in the wintertime and the available heat at the condenser/gas cooler's outlet is sufficient to satisfy the heating load. When the CO2 refrigerant system is operating below the critical point, heat reclaim is carried out at the compressor discharge.

  • Publication number: 20240006822
    Abstract: Electrical connectors for very high speed signals, including signals at or above 112 Gbps. Effectiveness of shielding along the signal paths through the mating electrical connectors may be enhanced through the use of one or more techniques, including enabling two-sided shielding, connections between shield members and between shield members and grounded structures of printed circuit boards to which the connectors are mounted, and selective positioning of lossy material. Such techniques may be simply and reliably implemented in high density connector using one or more techniques. An electrical connector may include core members held by a housing together with leadframe assemblies attached to the core members. The core members may include features that would be difficult to mold in a housing and may include both shields and lossy materials in locations that would be difficult to incorporate in a leadframe assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230408152
    Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a refrigeration subsystem and a coolant subsystem. The refrigeration subsystem is configured to circulate a refrigerant between an evaporator (12,22) within which a refrigerant absorbs heat and a gas cooler/condenser (2) within which the refrigerant rejects heat to provide cooling to a temperature-controlled space. The coolant subsystem includes a heat exchanger (61) coupled to the refrigeration subsystem at an outlet of the gas cooler/condenser and configured to transfer heat from the refrigerant exiting the gas cooler/condenser to an external coolant when the external coolant flows through the heat exchanger, a control valve (64), and a controller (50) configured to operate the control valve to control a flow of at least one of the refrigerant or the external coolant through the heat exchanger based on a temperature of the external coolant relative to a temperature of the refrigerant exiting the gas cooler/condenser.

  • Patent number: 11817657
    Abstract: A direct mate orthogonal connector for a high density of high speed signals. The connector may include right angle leadframe assemblies with signal conductive elements and ground shields held by a leadframe housing. High frequency performance may be achieved with members on the leadframe that transfer force between a connector housing, holding the leadframe assemblies, and a portion of the leadframe housing holding the signal conductive elements and the shields near their mounting ends. Core members may be inserted into the housing and mating ends of the conductive elements of ground shields may be adjacent the core members, enabling electrical and mechanical performance of the mating interface to be defined by the core members. The core members may incorporate insulative and lossy features that may be complex to form as part of the connector housing but may be readily formed as part of a separate core member.
