181 Fuel vaporization using data center waste heat US14829869 2015-08-19 US09546576B2 2017-01-17 Levi A. Campbell; Milnes P. David; Dustin W. Demetriou; Roger R. Schmidt; Robert E. Simons
Systems and methods are provided for data center cooling by vaporizing fuel using data center waste heat. The systems include, for instance, an electricity-generating assembly, a liquid fuel storage, and a heat transfer system. The electricity-generating assembly generates electricity from a fuel vapor for supply to the data center. The liquid fuel storage is coupled to supply the fuel vapor, and the heat transfer system is associated with the data center and the liquid fuel storage. In an operational mode, the heat transfer system transfers the data center waste heat to the liquid fuel storage to facilitate vaporization of liquid fuel to produce the fuel vapor for supply to the electricity-generating assembly. The system may be implemented with the liquid fuel storage and heat transfer system being the primary fuel vapor source, or a back-up fuel vapor source.

184 Heat pump comprising a cooling mode US12517019 2007-11-23 US08484991B2 2013-07-16 Holger Sedlak; Oliver Kniffler
A heat pump having a cooling mode includes a cooling evaporator coupled to an advance flow and a backflow. The cooling evaporator is brought to a pressure such that a vaporization temperature of the working liquid in the backflow is below a temperature of an object to be cooled to which the backflow may be thermally coupled. In this manner, an area having vapor at high pressure is generated. This vapor is fed into a dynamic-type compressor which outputs the vapor at a low pressure and provides electrical energy in the process. The vapor at low pressure is fed to a cooling liquefier which provides vapor liquefaction at a low temperature, this temperature being lower than the temperature of the object to be cooled. The working liquid removed from the cooling evaporator due to the vaporization is refilled by a filling pump. The heat pump having a cooling mode also results when a specific heat pump is operated in the reverse direction, and provides cooling without any net use of electrical energy. Instead, the cooling even generates electrical energy.

A fuel supply system has a pump, a common rail, and injectors. Pressurized fuel is stored in the common rail. The common rail distributes the fuel to the injectors. A liquid fuel and a liquefied gas fuel such as dimethyl ether and a liquefied petroleum gas may be used as a fuel. In each injector, a valve element is actuated directly by an electromagnetic actuator. The injector has a low pressure chamber for decreasing a biasing force which acts on the valve element in a valve closing direction. The valve element can be divided for replacement. The injector has means for suppressing the bounce of the valve element. A hydraulic unit which utilizes the fuel suppresses the bounce of the valve element. The fuel supply system is connected to a refrigerating cycle. The fuel leaking from the fuel supply system is cooled and again liquefied by the refrigerating cycle.

A water vapor separating section (20), a compressor (30), and a main heat exchanger (40) are connected in that order to form a cycle system (12). The inside of the water vapor separating section (20) is divided by a water vapor permeable membrane (21) into an air space (22) and a water vapor space (23). A mixture of ventilation exhaust air and outdoor air is delivered, as heat source air, to the water vapor space (23). Water vapor contained in the heat source air passes through the water vapor permeable membrane (21), thereby being separated from the heat source air. The water vapor separated is compressed in the compressor (30) and thereafter delivered to the main heat exchanger (40). In the main heat exchanger (40), the water vapor from the compressor (30) condenses and to-be-heated air in a utilization system (13) is heated by heat of condensation of the water vapor.

197 Pipe freezer US09562751 2000-05-02 US06286329B1 2001-09-11 Arthur Radichio
A pipe freezing apparatus comprises a multi-cavity adapter and an evaporator adapted to be fitted therein. The present invention uses a multi-cavity adapter having from two to eight cavities to fit standard plumbing pipes in copper, steel and plastic, metric and US standard. The refrigeration evaporator fits into a cylindrical bore in the core of the radial multi-cavity array. The cavities are arrayed around the circumference of the bore. The adapter body that forms the array is of aluminum or the like. The coolant lines are elbowed at 90 degrees to the evaporator's longitudinal axis to facilitate attachment to the pipe in small or tight spaces and from the side of the pipe. The adapter body freely swivels around the evaporator thus reducing wear on the refrigeration tubes as the adapters are mounted on the section of pipe to be frozen. Thus any of the cavities can be lined up with the pipe. A set of special retainer mechanisms is used to tightly secure the adapter bodies to the section of pipe to be frozen, thus providing for close thermal contact. In use, the adapters are mounted on the pipe and secured. Then the cartridge evaporator is plug into the adapter. Then circulation of refrigerant flow is begun to cause an ice plug to form in the section of pipe to be frozen so that the pipe downstream of the freeze plug can be repaired. Preferably two units, a unit on either side of the pipe, are strapped in place to fully surround the pipe. Two different models are provided. The first uses a non-expendable refrigerant. The second model which uses an expendable refrigerant vents used refrigerant to the atmosphere.
198 Expendable liquid thermal management system US192026 1994-02-04 US5507150A 1996-04-16 Richard M. Weber; Donald C. Price; Byron E. Short, Jr.
A thermal management system using an expendable liquid which undergoes phase change to a vapor as waste heat is absorbed and also possesses a high latent heat of vaporization. The vapor is expelled, carrying with it the waste heat. A vacuum source lowers the vapor pressure to lower the vaporization temperature. In first embodiments, regulated fluid flows into a heat exchanger wherein a vacuum system lowers the pressure. Waste heat transported to the heat exchanger by a coolant loop causes the liquid to boil at a desired temperature. A flow regulator controls the rate of fluid flow from the pressurized reservoir to the heat exchanger. The refrigeration effect is produced by the liquid being converted from the liquid to the vapor phase and absorbing heat from the coolant fluid during the phase change. The vacuum system provides a system pressure that results in a suitable temperature at which vaporization occurs. The fluid flow is controlled, based upon the demand from the heat load produced. The vacuum system is controlled to maintain the vacuum level. In a second group of embodiments, the electronics are disposed on a coldwall within an enclosure. The expendable liquid is controlled by a flow regulator which feeds the liquid into the enclosure. The expendable liquid is directly heated by the electronics and vaporizes in part within the enclosure. The enclosure is evacuated by a vacuum system which exhausts the vapors produced to the atmosphere while maintaining the desired degree of vacuum within the enclosure. The primary expendable liquids are ammonia, methanol and water.
199 Method and apparatus for atomizing (particulating) cooled fluid slugs in a pulsed fluid cooling system US570671 1990-08-22 US5085056A 1992-02-04 Steven E. Page
Improved method and apparatus for providing efficient cooling of a hot body using a pulse cooling system is disclosed. A flow of compressed gas is used to atomize each pulse of fluid before it enters the cooling channel of the hot body. The atomization of the fluid pulses allows each fluid pulse to be completely vaporized within the cooling channel, and, therefore, allows the hot body to be more efficiently cooled.
