Ice Machine Including Vapor-Compression System

View page
US Patent:
20200080760, Mar 12, 2020
Filed:
Nov 18, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/686759
Inventors:
- Sidney OH, US
Natarajan RAJENDRAN - Centerville OH, US
Kurt J. KNAPKE - Minster OH, US
Assignee:
Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. - Sidney OH
International Classification:
F25C 1/22
F25C 5/10
F25C 1/04
Abstract:
A method may include selecting a first set of values for a first set of parameters of one or more hardware components of an ice-making machine; identifying a water temperature at a water inlet of the ice-making machine; identifying an ambient air temperature surrounding the ice-making machine; calculating a second set of parameters of the ice-making machine based on at least a portion of the first set of values, the water temperature and the ambient temperature, the second set of parameters corresponding to operation of the ice-making machine in a freeze mode in which liquid water is cooled by an evaporator; and calculating a third set of parameters based on at least a portion of the first set of values, the water temperature and the ambient temperature, the third set of parameters corresponding to operation of the ice-making machine in a harvest mode.

Refrigerant Charge Detection For Ice Machines

US Patent:
20180238599, Aug 23, 2018
Filed:
Apr 23, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/960077
Inventors:
- Sidney OH, US
Kurt James KNAPKE - St. Marys OH, US
Assignee:
Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. - Sidney OH
International Classification:
F25B 49/02
F25B 49/00
Abstract:
A system includes a compressor driven by a motor. A condenser receives working fluid from the compressor. An evaporator is in fluid communication with the condenser and the compressor. A first sensor produces a first signal, and a second sensor produces a second signal. A processing circuitry processes the first signal and the second signal to determine a new baseline freeze time. The processing circuitry determines the new baseline freeze time for a predetermined time following an installation event, a service event, or a power outage of the compressor.

US Patent:
20180195773, Jul 12, 2018
Filed:
Jan 11, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/868636
Inventors:
- Sidney OH, US
Rajan RAJENDRAN - Centerville OH, US
Kurt KNAPKE - Minster OH, US
Assignee:
Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. - Sidney OH
International Classification:
F25B 7/00
F25B 41/04
F25B 49/02
Abstract:
A refrigeration system includes first and second compressors, a condenser, first and second evaporators, and a valve. The first compressor is fluidly connected to first suction and discharge lines. The second compressor is fluidly connected to second suction and discharge lines. The second suction line is fluidly connected to the first discharge line. The condenser receives refrigerant from the second compressor. The first evaporator receives refrigerant from the condenser and discharges refrigerant to the first suction line. The second evaporator receives refrigerant from the condenser and discharges refrigerant to the second suction line. The valve is disposed between the first evaporator and the first suction line. The first suction line receives refrigerant when the valve is in a first position. The second suction line receives refrigerant when the valve is in a second position. The first compressor is bypassed when the valve is in the second position.

US Patent:
20180195794, Jul 12, 2018
Filed:
Jan 11, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/868693
Inventors:
- Sidney OH, US
Rajan RAJENDRAN - Centerville OH, US
Kurt KNAPKE - Minster OH, US
John WALLACE - Acworth GA, US
Gregory MICKELSON - Acworth GA, US
Assignee:
Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. - Sidney OH
International Classification:
F25D 29/00
F25B 5/02
Abstract:
A refrigeration system includes first and second compressors, a condenser, first and second refrigeration cases, and a system controller. The first and second compressors are fluidly connected to respective first and second suction and discharge lines. The second suction line is fluidly connected to the first discharge line. The condenser receives refrigerant from the second compressor. The first and second refrigeration cases operate within respective first and second temperature ranges, the first range being lower than the second range. The first case includes a first evaporator that receives refrigerant from the condenser and discharges refrigerant to the first suction line. The second case includes a second evaporator that receives refrigerant from the condenser and discharges refrigerant to the second suction line. The system controller identifies when maintenance is necessary based on a first discharge temperature of the refrigerant in the first discharge line.

Ice Machine Including Vapor-Compression System

US Patent:
20170176079, Jun 22, 2017
Filed:
Dec 12, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/375614
Inventors:
- Sidney OH, US
Natarajan RAJENDRAN - Centerville OH, US
Kurt KNAPKE - Minster OH, US
Assignee:
Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. - Sidney OH
International Classification:
F25C 1/22
F25C 5/10
Abstract:
An ice machine may include a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion device, an evaporator, an ice tray, and a water pump. The first heat exchanger may receive compressed working fluid from the compressor. The expansion device may receive working fluid from the first heat exchanger. The evaporator may receive working fluid from the expansion device. The ice tray may be in a heat transfer relationship with the evaporator. The ice tray may include a plurality of ice molds. The water pump may be in fluid communication with the ice molds and may be configured to pump water from a water source to the ice molds.

Refrigerant Charge Detection For Ice Machines

US Patent:
20160047584, Feb 18, 2016
Filed:
Aug 12, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/824826
Inventors:
- Sidney OH, US
Kurt James KNAPKE - St. Marys OH, US
Assignee:
Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. - Sidney OH
International Classification:
F25B 49/02
F25B 13/00
Abstract:
A system includes a compressor driven by a motor. A condenser receives working fluid from the compressor. An evaporator is in fluid communication with the condenser and the compressor. A first sensor produces a first signal indicative of one of current and power drawn by the motor. A second sensor produces a second signal indicative of a discharge line temperature. A processing circuitry processes the first signal and the second signal to determine a freeze time. The processing circuitry processes the freeze time, the current signal, and the discharge line temperature signal to determine a working fluid charge level.
