Abstract
Technologies are described herein for cooling systems. In some aspects, a cooling system is configured to enter into a storage configuration or a wintenzation configuration. In the wintenzation configuration, refrigerant used in the cooling system is stored in an adsorbent in an adsorbent chamber.
Claims15
A control system of a cooling system, the control system configured to:
- cause an adsorbent chamber to enter into a cooling mode and the recharging mode, the adsorbent chamber fluidly coupled to an evaporator, the adsorbent chamber containing an adsorbent that absorbs the refrigerant in a cooling mode and desorbs the refrigerant in a desorbing mode,
- receive a storage condition,
- determine if the cooling system is to enter into a storage configuration or a winterization configuration based on the storage condition, and
- in response to determining if the cooling system is to enter into the winterization configuration, cause the cooling system to enter into the winterization configuration.
1 more element
A method of operating a cooling system, the method comprising:
- providing an evaporator containing a refrigerant;
- providing an adsorbent chamber fluidly coupled to the evaporator, the adsorbent chamber containing an adsorbent that adsorbs the refrigerant in a cooling mode and desorbs the refrigerant in a desorbing mode;
- receiving a storage condition;
- determining, based on at least on the storage condition, if the cooling system is to enter a storage configuration or a winterization configuration;
- and
- in response to determining that the cooling system is to enter into the winterization configuration, causing the cooling system to enter into the winterization configuration.
3 more elements
A cooling system, comprising:
- a refrigerant;
- an adsorbent;
- a detector to detect a condition requiring a winterization configuration of the cooling system, whereby upon detection of the condition, the cooling system is reconfigured to cause the adsorption of substantially all of the refrigerant on an individual molecular basis in the adsorbent.
