Heat rejection devices, including cooling towers, condensers and closed circuit coolers, having side-mounted backward-curved centrifugal fans mounted on top of the device, above a fan plenum instead of a top-mounted axial fan. Heat rejection capability can be easily modified by adding or subtracting fans without impacting unit footprint. Also, the ability to handle higher static pressures allows for the use of a more densely packed heat exchanger in the same footprint unit, which will increase the unit performance.

The cooler refrigerant liquid then goes to the evaporator coil inlet. Furthermore, the system stabilizes the superheat of the outlet vapor and reduces fluctuations in outlet superheat caused by excess unevaporated liquid flowing from the outlets of the tubes due to maldistribution at the inlet.

A system and method for increasing the refrigeration capacity of a direct expansion refrigeration system having an inlet separator and a liquid ejector in which heat absorbing capacity is increased by increasing coil liquid refrigerant flow but retaining liquid free evaporator outlet flow and also retaining few degrees of superheat. The liquid refrigerant flow is increased through local recirculation of liquid from coil outlet to coil inlet through an ejector which pumps the unevaporated liquid refrigerant from a lower pressure (suction pressure) to a higher pressure. The ejector is powered by either saturated or subcooled liquid after the expansion valve.
A system and method for increasing the refrigeration capacity of a direct expansion refrigeration system having a vapor separator and a vapor ejector. After the throttling process at the expansion device, the mixture of liquid and vapor enters the inlet separator. The vapor separator generates vapor to power the ejector through flashing of warm refrigerant liquid from a higher temperature and pressure to a lower pressure. The cooler refrigerant liquid then goes to the evaporator coil inlet. Furthermore, the system stabilizes the superheat of the outlet vapor and reduces fluctuations in outlet superheat caused by excess unevaporated liquid flowing from the outlets of the tubes due to maldistribution at the inlet.
A hybrid condenser or fluid cooler having an indirect heat exchange and a direct heat exchanger, in which tube circuits in the indirect heat exchanger are arranged parallel to the direction of air flow of a crossflow direct heat exchanger. The design features elongated fluid headers combined with multiple shortened circuits, resulting in a compact design that lowers the fluid pressure drop across the heat exchanger. This design creates an increased turbulence in relation to fluid flow, resulting in an increase in thermal performance.

Method and apparatus for staged startup of air-cooled low charged packaged ammonia refrigeration system
An apparatus for staged startup of air-cooled low charged packaged ammonia refrigeration system includes motorized valves on condenser coil inlets, a main compressor discharge motorized valve, a bypass pressure regulator valve in the main compressor piping, check valves on the condenser outlets and speed control of the condenser fans.

The motorized valve in the compressor discharge piping includes a bypass with a mechanical pressure regulator to allow precise regulation at the minimum discharge pressure. Once discharge pressure rises above the minimum setpoint, the condenser inlet solenoid coils open one at a time. The discharge pressure regulating motorized valve simultaneously regulate the discharge pressure until the condenser coil has warmed up enough to maintain discharge pressure.

A fill sheet and a fill pack manufactured from a plurality of fill sheets for cooling a cooling medium in a cooling tower, each fill sheet optionally having microstructures, the fill sheet's having pairs of elliptically-shaped projections and depressions that act as spacers when the sheets are stacked on one-another to form a fill pack; and/or a fill sheet defining a continuous wave parallel to the longitudinal axes of the flutes.
Heat rejection devices, including cooling towers, condensers and closed circuit coolers, having side-mounted backward-curved centrifugal fans mounted on top of the device, above a fan plenum instead of a top-mounted axial fan. Heat rejection capability can be easily modified by adding or subtracting fans without impacting unit footprint. Also, the ability to handle higher static pressures allows for the use of a more densely packed heat exchanger in the same footprint unit, which will increase the unit performance.
Large scale field erected air cooled industrial steam condenser having heat exchanger panels with primary and secondary condenser sections, in which the secondary condenser section comprises 10% or less of the total heat exchanger, and in which the tubes of the primary condenser sections have narrowed outlet orifices having an area that is 50% or less than the cross-sectional area of a corresponding tube. The invention permits the reduction of secondary condenser tubes while reducing the outlet header pressure sufficiently to minimize backflow, sweep non-condensables and prevent the formation of dead zones.
