  • Publication number: 20250314406
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a high side heat exchanger, a flash tank, a load, a compressor, and a heat exchanger. The high side heat exchanger removes heat from a refrigerant. The flash tank stores the refrigerant from the high side heat exchanger and to discharge a flash gas. The load uses the refrigerant from the cool a space proximate the load. The compressor compresses the refrigerant from the load. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the refrigerant from the compressor to the flash gas before the refrigerant from the compressor reaches the high side heat exchanger. The heat exchanger directs the flash gas to the compressor after heat from the refrigerant from the compressor is transferred to the flash gas and directs the refrigerant from the compressor to the high side heat exchanger after heat from the refrigerant from the compressor is transferred to the flash gas.

  • Patent number: 12292579
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and a system for generating a polarized propagation-invariant light field. The system includes a laser source, a spatial light modulator, a computer, a first lens, a shading element, a first quarter-wave plate, a second quarter-wave plate, a second lens, and a beam combining element. In the present invention, two Laguerre-Gaussian mode beams that satisfy a particular Gouy order relationship are generated, and orthogonal even polarization is applied to the two Laguerre-Gaussian mode beams. The two Laguerre-Gaussian mode beams are then focused onto a Ronchi grating to be stably combined into polarized propagation-invariant light field. The light field generated in the present invention simultaneously has linear polarization, elliptical polarization, and circular polarization in a cross section of the light field, and in a propagation process of the light field in free space, apart from normal spot size scaling, polarization distribution remains unchanged.
