Inventor: BABCOCK PAUL M
IPC: H02M7/66
Filed: 2010-12-28
Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods involve a controllable supply adapted for controlling switch phasing and pulse width to substantially equalize power in adjacent quadrants of a sinusoidal source voltage waveform to regulate reactive power drawn from the source. In an illustrative example, the supply may, in some embodiments, deliver power to a load at a level responsive to a commanded input signal. In some examples, the power supplied to the load may be adjusted according to the command input signal to a selected value within an operating range. In some examples, the operating range may include a portion or all of 0 to 100% of rated load. Various embodiments may be adapted to supply unipolar or bipolar load excitation. In some embodiments, high power factor may be maintained over a substantial range of commanded power to the load. Certain embodiments may enhance supply efficiency by capturing and recycling inductive load energy.

Abstract: A refrigerated device has an evaporative condensate dissipation system for disposing water from its cooling element during defrosting. Progressive stages operate at increasing temperatures to provide a cascading evaporative dissipation of the water. A  first pan receives water from the cooling coil and operates at ambient temperature for a first evaporative dissipation. Overflow from the first pan flows through a first standpipe to a second stage. The second stage includes a second pan that receives water from the first pan via the first standpipe, and is heated by hot gas refrigerant from the compressor for operation at a higher second temperature to provide a second evaporative dissipation. Overflow from the second pan is directed through a second standpipe to a third stage. The third stage includes a third pan that receives the water from the second pan via the second standpipe, and is heated by an electric heater for operation at a higher third temperature to provide a third evaporative dissipation.

Abstract: A solid chemical product is dispensed to prepare a requested amount of a use solution having a requested concentration of the chemical product. In some examples, a target amount of a diluent and a target amount of the chemical product required to prepare the requested use solution are determined. The target amount of the diluent is dispensed into a container. At least some of the diluent in the container is applied to the solid chemical product to create a resultant use solution, which is directed back into the container. The diluent from the container is applied to the chemical product until the amount of the use solution in the container satisfies the requested amount. In some examples, the target amount of the diluent and the target amount of the chemical product are measured by weight.
