Defrost Control For Variable Speed Heat Pumps

View page
US Patent:
47518251, Jun 21, 1988
Filed:
Dec 4, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/937960
Inventors:
Roger Voorhis - Liverpool NY
John M. Palmer - Syracuse NY
Daryl G. Erbs - Canastota NY
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25D 2106
US Classification:
62234
Abstract:
An adaptive defrost system for a heat pump wherein the time-between-defrosts is continuously updated by multiplying the last time-between-defrosts by a ratio of the desired and actual differences between the pre-defrost and after-defrost saturated coil temperatures. A single thermistor is used for both pre and after-defrost measurements such that no calibration is required.

Heat Pump System

View page
US Patent:
43948162, Jul 26, 1983
Filed:
Nov 2, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/317093
Inventors:
Roger J. Voorhis - Liverpool NY
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25B 4106
US Classification:
62205
Abstract:
A heat pump system comprising a compressor, two heat exchangers, and an expansion device. The expansion device defines two, spaced apart flow passages. A first piston is located in a first flow passage for metering refrigerant flow therethrough at a first flow rate, and a second piston is located in the second flow passage for metering refrigerant flow therethrough at a second flow rate less than the first flow rate. The expansion device includes a valve having a first position, closing the second flow passage to direct refrigerant through the first flow passage, and a second position, closing the first flow passage to direct refrigerant through the second flow passage.

Refrigerant Metering In A Variable Flow System

View page
US Patent:
48738387, Oct 17, 1989
Filed:
Mar 28, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/137009
Inventors:
Roger J. Voorhis - Liverpool NY
John M. Palmer - Syracuse NY
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25B 4100
US Classification:
62207
Abstract:
In a refrigeration system having a compressor driven by a variable speed motor, the refrigerant flow volume through the expansion device is controlled by way of a solenoid driven piston which alternately opens and closes the orifice, with the duty cycle of the solenoid being controlled such that the time period in which the orifice is open is proportional to the speed of the motor. A bypass channel is provided in parallel around the orifice such that a minimal flow is provided to thereby share the load with the modulating orifice and act to dampen the movement of the solenoid piston.

Control Module Cooling

View page
US Patent:
47095601, Dec 1, 1987
Filed:
Dec 4, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/938105
Inventors:
Roger Voorhis - Liverpool NY
Daryl G. Erbs - Canastota NY
John M. Palmer - Syracuse NY
Derrick A. Marris - Blossvale NY
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25B 3904
US Classification:
62508
Abstract:
The control box for a refrigeration condensing unit has a heat sink mounted on its rear side between the control box and the coil assembly, the heat sink being in the flow path of the cooling air flowing in thru the coil such that the heat dissipation therefrom is substantially enhanced. The heat sink has a plurality of fins formed on its rear side, with the fins extending across the relatively narrow width of the heat sink such that the cooling air flows over the entire length of each of the fins and provides a substantially uniform velocity profile along the heat sink vertical axis.

Refrigeration Circuit

View page
US Patent:
43620302, Dec 7, 1982
Filed:
Sep 2, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/298817
Inventors:
Roger J. Voorhis - Liverpool NY
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25B 110
US Classification:
62510
Abstract:
A refrigeration circuit comprising serially arranged low and high stage compressors, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. The circuit also includes by-pass means connecting a low pressure line with the high stage compressor for conducting refrigerant vapor therebetween to by-pass the low stage compressor, and a quench line connected to the by-pass means for conducting liquid refrigerant thereto. A check-quench valve is located at the intersection of the by-pass means and the quench line. The check-quench valve has a quench position blocking the by-pass means and opening the quench line, and a by-pass position opening the by-pass means and closing the quench line.

Air Conditioning Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
55333575, Jul 9, 1996
Filed:
Feb 15, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/393147
Inventors:
Roger J. Voorhis - Pennellville NY
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25B 2900
US Classification:
62277
Abstract:
An air conditioning apparatus for both heating and cooling an enclosed space. The apparatus employs a vapor compression refrigeration system in which the flow of refrigerant through the inside and outside heat exchangers is the same in both cooling and heating modes. The alignment of an arrangement of dampers determine whether air from the space passes through the evaporator section of the apparatus (during operation in the cooling mode) or through the condenser section (during operation in the heating mode). The same damper arrangement reconfigures the flow of outside air from the condenser section to the evaporator section on a shift from cooling to heating mode operation. The apparatus is entirely contained within a single enclosure intended for installation in an exterior wall of the structure that it serves. The evaporator section is located above the condenser section in the enclosure so that the area occupied by the apparatus is minimized and also so that water condensate that forms on the evaporator can drain by gravity to the condenser where it can be re-evaporated and carried out of the enclosure by the air passing through the condenser. The apparatus has operating modes that accelerate the removal of frost that may form on the evaporator during heating mode operation and that supply outside air and exhaust inside air from the enclosed space.

Control Of Outdoor Air Source Water Heating Using Variable-Speed Heat Pump

View page
US Patent:
50521861, Oct 1, 1991
Filed:
Sep 21, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/586004
Inventors:
Kevin F. Dudley - Cazanovia NY
Lowell E. Paige - Pennellville NY
Kevin B. Dunshee - Syracuse NY
Roger J. Voorhis - Pennellville NY
Assignee:
Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
F25B 700
F25B 100
US Classification:
62 79
Abstract:
An integrated heat pump and hot water system of the type having a variable speed compressor is controlled during a water heating mode, in which outdoor air serves as the heat source. The controlling is carried out on the basis of a field of outside temperature and water temperature. The compressor speed is controlled based on the outdoor air temperature, and the compressor is run at a maximum speed between a minimum outdoor temperature and a low temperature somewhat above the minimum, at minimum speed for outdoor air temperature between a maximum temperature and a high temperature below the maximum temperature, and at a speed that depends linearly on outdoor temperature for intermediate outdoor temperatures. There is a permissible temperature field or envelope bounded by the minimum and maximum outdoor temperatures, by minimum and maximum water temperatures, and by an efficiency floor and a torque limit ceiling.

US Patent:
47964367, Jan 10, 1989
Filed:
Dec 9, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/939825
Inventors:
Roger J. Voorhis - Liverpool NY
John M. Palmer - Syracuse NY
Derrick A. Marris - Blossvale NY
James D'Agostino - Alpharetta GA
Assignee:
Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
F25B 4500
US Classification:
62 77
Abstract:
A method of controllably charging a heat pump system with refrigerant until adequately charged for the cooling mode of operation, including checking the outdoor ambient temperature, injecting sufficient refrigerant to sustain safe compressor operation, operating the compressor at higher or lower rates depending upon the detected ambient temperature level and determining when to halt charging by monitoring indoor coil inlet and suction temperature differences in the heat pump system.
