  • Patent number: 9297560
    Abstract: A dehumidifier for a compressor, including: a plurality of dehumidifying members that absorb moisture; and a flow passage controlling valve module that enables a low-temperature vapor refrigerant to alternately flow into the plurality of dehumidifying members and enables the low-temperature refrigerant to flow into a compressor in a state where moisture contained in the low-temperature refrigerant is absorbed and is removed, enables a high-temperature vapor refrigerant ejected from the compressor to alternately flow into the dehumidifying members and regenerates the dehumidifying members. Thus, since a liquid-state absorbent contained in a refrigerant flowing into the compressor is removed by the dehumidifier, damage caused by liquid compression and corrosion of the compressor can be reduced. In addition, the structure of the dehumidifier is simple, and an additional external heating source is not required.

  • Patent number: 9243820
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring concentration of a liquid-state refrigerant of a nonazeotrope refrigerant mixture. A container is disposed in such a way that a liquid-state refrigerant mixture of the nonazeotrope refrigerant mixture in a saturated state is temporarily stored with set quality. By measuring temperature and pressure of the liquid-state refrigerant mixture, concentration of the liquid-state refrigerant can be calculated from a database regarding a relationship between a saturation vapor pressure, temperature, quality, and concentration of the previously-stored nonazeotrope refrigerant mixture in the saturated state. Thus, a configuration for measuring the concentration of the liquid-state refrigerant-absorbent mixture includes a container, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor and thus is very simple and the cost for the configuration can be reduced. In addition, the container can be easily mounted on existing equipment without disturbance of a flow.
