Abstract: A tire chain storage apparatus that is configured to be operably coupled to a vehicle and provide storage of tire chains. The invention includes a mounting plate that has a horizontal support member extending outward therefrom being perpendicular thereto. Movably coupled to the horizontal support member is a roller support member that is operable to traverse bi-directionally along the horizontal support member. A lower support bar member is operably coupled to the lower end of the roller support member wherein the lower support bar member is beneath and axially aligned with the horizontal support member. A plurality of tire chain support members are operably coupled to the lower support bar member and are configured to receive and retain a tire chain. The lower support bar member has secured thereto an engagement member that is configured to allow a user to move the present invention between its first and second position.

Abstract: A vapor compression refrigeration system including components capable of determining the superheat at a compressor inlet is provided. The vapor compression refrigeration system may include sensors capable of making measurements from which the superheat at the compressor inlet may be determined. The vapor compression refrigeration system may be operable to compare the determined superheat level at the inlet to the compressor to a desired superheat level and generate a new evaporator discharge superheat level target for one or more evaporators operatively interconnected to the compressor to affect the superheat at the compressor inlet. The vapor compression refrigeration system may be operable to broadcast the new evaporator discharge superheat level target to the one or more evaporators over a communications bus. The vapor compression refrigeration system may update and broadcast the evaporator discharge superheat level target at programmed intervals.
