Title: Heating water with a heat pump that utilises waste heat from a refrigerator condenser
Inventor: GITTOES EDWIN ARTHUR
IPC: F24D17/00
Filed: 2012-10-09
Abstract: A water heating apparatus includes a water system 1 in which water is heated to a desired temperature by a heat pump system 2 and a refrigeration system 3. Refrigerant in the refrigeration system passes through an inlet line 13 to a third heat exchanger 9 and transfers thermal energy to a working fluid of the heat pump system. The working fluid is used to heat water to a pre-heat temperature in a first heat exchanger 7 and to the desired temperature in a second heat exchanger 8. The heated water may then pass along a conduit 5 to a tank for use later. In use, the working fluid arrives at the second heat exchanger in a high pressure, high temperature state and then passes to the first heat exchanger in a high pressure, low grade temperature state. Controllers 10,11,12 are used to control the pre-heated and desired water temperature obtained and the temperature of the working fluid and the refrigerant in the heat pump and refrigeration system. The apparatus preferably includes at least one probe or sensor. The heated water can be used for domestic purposes or in supermarkets to wash food or other areas.

Title: MS/MS analysis using ECD or ETD fragmentation
Inventor: BROWN JEFFERY MARK
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2013-04-05
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising providing a mixture of different analyte ions and supplying electrons or reagent ions to said mixture so as to transfer charge to the analyte ions. The transfer of charge causes at least some of the analyte ions to dissociate and others of the analyte ions not to dissociate, but to form intermediate ions of altered charge state. These intermediate ions are then isolated from other ions and excited so as to dissociate into daughter ions. The intermediate ions and their daughter ions are analysed and associated with each other so that the intermediate can be identified from their daughter ions. The analyte ions can then be identified from the intermediate ions, since they differ only in charge state. The disclosed method enables analyte ions to be associated with their fragment ions, and therefore identified, without having to isolate individual analyte ions prior to their interactions with the electrons or reagent ions.
