Patent CA-2597121-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEWTON RICHARD W
IPC: F25B30/02
Filed: 2007-08-13
Abstract: A vapor compression heat pump system comprising a lower temperature heat exchanger, a higher temperature heat exchanger and a compression path control (CPC) system. The CPC system increases the coefficient of performance (COP) obtainable with some refrigerants, the environmentally benign refrigerant 718 (water) being an outstanding example. This is achieved by the controlled alteration of the quality of the suction vapor prior to compression so that the resulting path of compression entails a reduced work requirement relative to the refrigerating effect obtained. When the system is employed with refrigerant 718 (water) the resulting COP is higher than those of the halo carbon refrigerants phased out by international agreement. Thus it offers improved performance as well as security against any future restrictions due to refrigerant environmental effects.  The heat pump system can be used for heating or cooling or simultaneous heating and cooling; e.g., air conditioning and water heating. It is also readily adaptable to variable compression ratio operation, such as that which would result from providing the higher temperature heat exchanger with the capability of switching between sinks at different temperatures.

Title: System and method for creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice
Inventor: UEDA KAZUTOSHI
IPC: F25C3/02
Filed: 2007-08-30
Abstract: A system for creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice, the rink ice being created by spraying water over a base material layer and flowing cold brine through cooling tubes embedded in the base material layer includes: a heat pump performing a refrigerating cycle using CO2 as a refrigerant for producing cold brine and hot water, and a means for introducing the brine which has worked to freeze the water sprayed over the base material layer and received heat from the water sprayed over the base material layer and the ice created to the heat pump, thereby the hot water is produced by the heat pump by using heat contained in the brine introduced to the heat pump as a heat source and the brine deprived of the heat in the heat pump is returned to the cooling tubes to be used as the cold brine, thus the cold brine for creating the rink ice and cooling the ice layer created and the hot water to be used in ancillary facilities of the ice-skating rink facility are produced.

If successful, the device sets a success indicator to record which protocol was finally successful for communications with the target host computer. The success indicator is subsequently used to indicate which protocol to try first when the device is reconnected to a host computer.
