Abstract:
A system and method for a multistage condenser is described that reduces problems associated with temperature and pressure differential strains on tubes above and below a dead tube. Instead of connecting the dead tube to the I/O manifold, a physical separation is created. The physical separation can be created by shortening the dead tube, coring a portion of the I/O manifold where the dead tube is received, independent I/O manifolds, or other means.
System For Managing Lubricant Levels In Tandem Compressor Assemblies Of An Hvac System
- Richardson TX, US David Mackey - Addison TX, US Lin Hong - Plano TX, US
International Classification:
F25B 49/02 F25B 31/00
Abstract:
The present invention provides a control system for managing lubricant levels in tandem compressor assemblies of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In transitioning from a partial load that operates a first compressor but not a second compressor of a tandem assembly to a full load that operates both the first and the second compressor, a controller of the HVAC system turns OFF both compressors of the tandem compressor assembly to allow time for lubricant levels to equalize between the first and the second compressor.
