Title: Airconditioning plant
IPC: F25B5/02
Filed: 1973-05-24
Abstract: 1436169 Cooling buildings A J GASPARD 24 May 1973 [24 May 1972] 24882/73 Headings F4H and F4U An air-conditioning plant for cooling independently the rooms in a building comprises an evaporator 19 in each room along with a filter 14, a capillary 15, and a solenoid valve 16 actuated by a thermostat 17 responding to a signal from a detector probe 18, and a condensercompressor unit 1 arranged outside the said rooms. The unit 1 includes a condenser 9, a receiver and dehydrator filter 10 and a compressor arrangement which comprises a number of compressors (three as shown, 2, 3, 4) operable singly or in combination depending on the load conditions. A by-pass line which includes a back pressure regulator 26 and a heat exchanger 21 is connected in shunt with the compressor arrangement. The heat exchanger 21 is in communication with intake ducts 22A, 22B and 22C of the compressors 2, 3 and 4. Each compressor is equipped with an electric decompression valve 23, 24, 25 which is connected in parallel with the starting winding of each compressor motor 2A, 3B, 4C. Each decompression valve allows flow from the discharge line 5, 6, 7 to the suction line through the heat exchanger 21 during the starting period of a motor to remove the load on the compressor. Check valves 5A, 6B, 7C prevent flow from the duct 8 into the heat exchanger 21 when one of the valves 23, 24, 25 is open. The back pressure regulator 26 controls the flow in the by-pass line leading from duct 8 via heat exchanger 21 to the intake ducts 22A, 22B, 22C. Motor control pressure devices P1, P2, P3 are each operated in dependence upon the pressure in the intake ducts through a branch line 27. A switching device 29 alters the sequence of operation of the compressors. In operation of the air-conditioning system, a signal from probe 8 causes liquid refrigerant to flow into the evaporator coil 19, where it evaporates. The pressure at the intake side of the compressors is increased by the resulting vapour and actuates P1 and thereby the compressor 2. During this starting operation valve 23 is open, check valve 5A preventing flow from the duct 8 into the heat exchanger 21. If this compressor has a capacity greater than required, the suction pressure tends to drop. The automatic back pressure regulator 26, responding to the pressure drop, re-establishes the pressure in the suction line by allowing refrigerant from the high pressure side of the compressor to flow to the low pressure side. When a second evaporator 13 has its solenoid valve 16 opened by a rise in room temperature, the pressure in the suction line rises, but is contained by the back pressure regulator 26 which gradually reduces the rate of flow in the by-pass. If the compressor 2 is sufficiently powerful, the operation continues in this condition. If the power of the compressor is too low, the pressure rise closes the regulator 26 and actuates P2 and the compressor 3. The control and operation of the compressors 3 and 4 is the same as that for compressor 2.

Patent GB-1353951-A (GB)
Title: Data processing system
IPC: G06F9/42
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1353951 Digital computers DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORP 19 April 1971 [23 March 1970] 25071/71 Heading G4A A digital electric data processing system is adapted to execute instructions from any one of a plurality of partially completed operating routines. The complete Specification is similar to that of Specifications 1,353,925, 1,353,995, 1,354,089 and 1,354,090. Operating routines may be operating programs subroutines, or interruption routines. A computer has a number of operating programs, each comprising a group of instructions stored in contiguous locations in a memory and being used to solve a specific problem, e.g. producing an actuarial table. A subroutine comprises instructions used to perform a general function which may be required several times in one or more operating programs, e.g. a cosine subroutine in trigonometric calculations or a print subroutine. An interruption routine comprises instructions used whenever an interrupt occurs, e.g. for power failure, illegal instructions &c. In operation, instructions are transferred to the computer under control of a program counter. When an operating routine is being executed and it is desired to change to another routine, a subroutine transfer instruction or an interruption vector identifies the location of the subroutine or the interruption routine in the memory 11. The subroutine transfer instruction also identifies a register. Operation is transferred to the subroutine by storing the existing program counter contents in the register and the register contents in a vacant memory location contiguous to other stored information. The last subroutine instruction moves the register contents to the program counter and the last contiguously stored information in the memory to the register.  Interruption routine.-The operating routine program count and a status word identifying processor unit priority are stored in the next two vacant contiguous memory locations. Then the status word and first instruction address are transferred to the processor unit. The last interruption routine instruction moves the last two contiguously stored information items to the processor unit. When these transfers are completed the processor unit continues executing instructions in the interrupted operating routine. Interrupting conditions are recognized using a priority system.  By this arrangement it is stated that a first or second subroutine can recall the first subroutine and data in the operating program can be transferred to the subroutine. The computer executes various cycles and uses apparatus described in Specification 1,353,995.
