  • Publication number: 20150159935
    Abstract: An apparatus with dehumidification and defrosting abilities comprises a compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a four-way valve and a means for refrigerant flow controlling. The compressor is coupled to the four-way valve. The four-way valve is coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor heat exchanger is coupled to the four-way valve. The means for refrigerant flow controlling is respectively coupled to the indoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger and the four way valve, to control mixing a low-temperature refrigerant and a high-temperature before flowing into the indoor heat exchanger, or to control mixing a low-temperature refrigerant and a high-temperature refrigerant before flowing into the compressor, or control mixing a low-temperature refrigerant and a high-temperature refrigerant before flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 6591626
    Abstract: A water removal device for refrigeration system comprises an electrode and a voltage source; the voltage source provides voltage for the electrode, which is located under the evaporator of the refrigeration system. Through the electric effect produced by the electrode, the condensed water condensed on the evaporator can be swiftly removed, a result that thoroughly takes advantage of the heat transfer function of the evaporator. In addition, there shall not be any electricity-discharging sparks between the electrode and the evaporator, thus assuring the normal operation of the refrigeration system.

  • Patent number: 6332331
    Abstract: A water removal enhancement device applicable to an evaporator of a refrigeration system includes a pulse power supply, an electrode mounted under the evaporator, and metallic needles formed on the bottom of the evaporator. The needles of the evaporator and the electrode are electrically connected to the power of the pulse power supply, so that negative (or positive) electricity is charged to the evaporator and the needles, while the positive (or negative) power of the pulse power supply is charged to the electrode. The condensed water formed on the evaporator and falling to the needles is therefore easily attracted by the electrode via electric discharge effect on tip points and easily drop from the evaporator to the electrode and drain away.

  • Patent number: 6298679
    Abstract: A water removing mechanism for the evaporator in a refrigeration system in which an electrode element is disposed beneath the evaporator and a pulse voltage source is provided to connect the evaporator and the electrode element to generate an electric field with high voltage and low current between the evaporator and the electrode element, causing water condensed on the surface of the fins of evaporator to bear negative charge and the electrode element to bear positive charge and thereby allowing the water on the evaporator to be driven by the electric field to leave the evaporator at an accelerated speed.
