Embodiment Construction

[0020]The description below illustrates embodiments of the claimed invention. This description discloses aspects of the invention but does not define or limit the invention, such definition and limitation being contained solely in the claims appended hereto. Those of skill in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in a number of ways different from those set out here, in conjunction with other present or future technologies.

[0021]As used herein, the following terms carry the had indicated meanings: “Ambient medium” is the medium targeted for conditioning by the disclosed cooling unit. In a building air-conditioning system, for example, the ambient medium would be the air inside the building. “Primary heat exchange medium” designates the refrigerant. In most circumstances, the primary heat exchange medium would be a refrigerant capable of exchanging heat with the ambient medium targeted for conditioning.

Abstract

A highly efficient condensate-free cooling unit functionally based on vapor-compression refrigeration cycle has been described. The condensate collected from the evaporator of the cooling unit is routed through a sub-cooling heat exchanger where it exchanges heat with the primary heat exchange medium emerging through the condenser of the cooling unit, thus, sub-cooling the primary heat exchange medium to a lower temperature before it enters the expansion valve. Emerging from the sub-cooling heat exchanger, the condensate flows through a condensate outlet pipe into multiple spray nozzles disposed over the condensate outlet pipe. The spray nozzles sprinkle the condensate over the hot air blown into the condenser to reduce its temperature. The cooling unit has a substantially higher coefficient of performance compared to the conventional cooling units utilizing vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, and eliminates the problems of condensate removal persistent in the art.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure deals generally with heat exchange devices, and more specifically with cooling devices utilizing the vapor compression refrigeration cycle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Vapor compression refrigeration cycles are widely used in many cooling systems for achieving refrigerating effects, including refrigerators, air-conditioning systems, industrial and commercial refrigeration systems and the like. Typical applications of such cooling units include warehouses, offices, private and public residential buildings, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and cafeteria. Succinctly, the process of refrigeration refers to extracting heat from a space and rejecting it elsewhere, thus lowering the temperature of the space. Vapor compression refrigeration cycles use a refrigerant for this process. The cycle includes four elementary components: a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The circulating refrigerant enters the compre...
