Abstract
A system control to monitor and control the operation of an air conditioning system including at least one evaporator/air handler unit operatively coupled to a compressor/condenser unit comprising a sensor to monitor the operation of the evaporator and to generate a control signal when a predetermined condition within the air conditioning system is sensed and a control unit including logic or circuitry to receive the condensate signal and to deactivate the evaporator/air handler unit and the compressor/condenser unit in response to the control signal.
Claims13
A system control to monitor and control the operation of an air conditioning system comprising an evaporator/air handler unit coupled in closed-loop fluid communication with a compressor/condenser unit by refrigerant lines or conduits and a condensate collector disposed to collect condensate from the evaporator and operatively coupled by a power supply line and a data communication link, said system control comprises a condensate sensor disposed to sense when condensate within the condensate collector reaches a predetermined level and a control unit operatively coupled to said condensate sensor and the air conditioning system to deactivate the compressor/condenser unit and evaporator/air handler unit when condensate reaches the predetermined level within the condensate collector for a predetermined period of time by creating a discontinuity or open circuit between the compressor/condenser unit and the evaporator/air handler unit.
