Abstract
A vapor chiller. The vapor chiller includes a chiller vessel configured to store a cooled substance. The chiller vessel includes a plurality of chambers. Each chamber in the plurality of chambers is configured to concentrate the cooled substance at a bottom of the chamber. The vapor chiller further includes a fan coupled to the chiller vessel. The fan is configured to direct vapor through the chiller vessel across the cooled substance in the bottoms of the chambers.
Claims20
A vapor chiller comprising:
- a chiller vessel configured to store a cooled substance, wherein the chiller vessel comprises a plurality of chambers, each chamber in the plurality of chambers is configured to concentrate the cooled substance at a bottom of the chamber;
- a fan coupled to the chiller vessel, and configured to direct vapor through the chiller vessel across the cooled substance in the bottoms of the chambers;
- and
- wherein the chiller vessel is configured to direct vapor in an upward direction in a first chamber, subsequently downward into a second chamber, and out of the chiller vessel more proximate a bottom of the chiller vessel than a top of the chiller vessel.

A method of chilling vapor, the method comprising:
- storing a cooled substance in a plurality of chambers of a chiller vessel configured to concentrate the cooled substance at bottoms of chambers in the plurality of chambers;
- directing the vapor across the cooled substance in the bottoms of the chambers by:
- directing vapor in an upward direction in a first chamber, subsequently downward into a second chamber, and out of the chiller vessel more proximate a bottom of the chiller vessel than a top of the chiller vessel.
A method of manufacturing a vapor chiller, the method comprising:
- creating a plurality of chambers in a chiller vessel configured to store a cooled substance, wherein creating the plurality of chambers comprises forming each chamber in the plurality of chambers to concentrate the cooled substance at a bottom of the chamber;
- and
- coupling a fan to the chiller vessel, in a fashion configured to direct vapor through the chiller vessel across the cooled substance in the bottoms of the chambers to configure the chiller vessel to direct vapor in an upward direction in a first chamber, subsequently downward into a second chamber, and out of the chiller vessel more proximate a bottom of the chiller vessel than a top of the chiller vessel.
