Title: Closed-loop dehumidification circuit for refrigerant system
Inventor: LIFSON ALEXANDER
IPC: F25B41/00
Filed: 2005-07-28
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.

Inventor: GASSER URS
IPC: F23G5/46
Filed: 2006-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing volatile organic components (VOC) from waste gases of a clinker installation, according to which the largely cooled waste gases are subjected to post-combustion which is carried out in such a way as to ensure a reduction of the concentration of the VOC  below the authorised threshold values. The post-combustion is carried out in order to produce water vapour for a gas volume to be burned, ensuring that a partial quantity of the waste gas corresponding to the gas volume enables the reduction of VOC in the waste gas, emitted in the time unit, below the authorised concentration values, by rarefaction. Said partial quantity is simultaneously used for the production of a quantity of water vapour sufficient for the economical operation of a determined steam turbine. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method, characterised in that a branch line is connected to the waste gas line of the clinker installation, between a preheater and the waste gas suction fan, a combustion chamber for a heat exchanger for producing water vapour and a stream turbine being connected to said branch line.
