Title: Modular low pressure delivery vehicle air conditioning system
Inventor: PEIFFER LARRY
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 1999-05-19
Granted: 2001-12-20
Abstract: A modular air conditioning system comprises a self-contained refrigeration power cell, a heat exchanger remotely located from the refrigeration power cell, and a low pressure refrigerant communication circuit operably coupling the refrigeration power cell to the heat exchanger. The refrigeration power cell comprises a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator which are serially coupled to form a high pressure closed refrigeration circuit. A drive mechanism, such as an electric or hydraulic motor, or conventional belt, is coupled to the compressor. The low pressure refrigerant communication circuit thermally interfaces with the condenser to remove heat from the high pressure closed refrigeration circuit. Alternatively, this circuit thermally interfaces with the evaporator to remove heat from the low pressure refrigerant. This heat exchanger is adapted to mount in the cabin of an over-the-road or off-road vehicle. Preferably, a second heat exchanger and a second low pressure refrigerant communication circuit is included. This second circuit thermally interfaces with the condenser to remove heat from the refrigeration circuit.

Date Nov. 10, 1994An apparatus for indicating the angular position of a rotatable member includes a drive coil with its axis corresponding to the axis of rotation of the rotatable member. A coil is wound around the rotatable member, and a capacitor is provided in the coil to form an LC resonant circuit. The coil on the rotatable member is wound so that application of an alternating magnetic field to the drive coil induces a resonance in the LC circuit which is constant for all angular positions of the rotatable member. Pick-up coils are provided such that the planes of these coils and the drive coil are orthogonal. The resonance of the LC circuit produces signals in the output coils which depend upon the angular position of the rotatable member. The signals may be processed to determine that angular position, and the processing is simplified with this arrangement of output coils since the signals produced therein are quadrature signals.
