Title: Closed-loop dehumidification circuit for refrigerant system
Inventor: TARAS MICHAEL F
IPC: F25B41/00
Filed: 2005-07-28
Granted: 2012-01-24
Abstract: A closed-loop reheat circuit decoupled from a main refrigerant circuit is provided as part of a refrigerant system. In the closed-loop reheat circuit refrigerant is flown through an auxiliary heat exchanger, at which it transfers heat to refrigerant in the main circuit, increasing its cooling and dehumidification potential prior to entering an evaporator. The closed-loop circuit also includes a reheat heat exchanger that is placed in the path of at least a portion of airflow having passed over an evaporator. The reheat heat exchanger reheats air supplied to a conditioned space to a desired temperature after sufficient amount of moisture has been removed from the air in the evaporator to provide a comfortable humidity level. By utilizing the closed-loop reheat circuit, a control for the overall refrigerant system becomes less complex and more flexible, and the refrigerant system operation turns out to be more reliable and satisfying a variety of environmental conditions and potential applications. Various features and options of the decoupled reheat circuit concept are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for infusing fluids to and aspirating tissue from an intraosseous site. The apparatus is comprised of an infusion tube coupled to an introducer with a release mechanism that removes the infusion tube once it has penetrated the bone a predetermined depth. As the introducer is withdrawn, the infusion tube remains in the bone. The ball release mechanism and other aspects of the apparatus can be modified to yield different penetration depths. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for locating the site of infusion and for relieving strain and stress on the infusion site. The template patch uses a key anatomical feature of the bone as a reference point to a target zone for infusion that is located a predetermined distance away from the feature. The template patch has a tube clamp and a covering that protect the infusion site from external forces.
