with one embodiment of the present invention the temperature of the exterior heat exchanger and the exterior are measured via separate temperature sensors. In accordance with an alternative embodiment, the exterior heat exchanger temperature is measured via a single temperature sensor and the exterior fan is operated for a predetermined interval of time after the compressor is stopped. Thereafter the exterior fan is operated only so long as the temperature remains at freezing. In a still further embodiment, the exterior fan is operated only so long as it remains less than or equal to freezing and does not reach a plateau at less than freezing. The operation of the exterior fan after deactuation of the compressor may be inhibited throughout an interval of time, if the plateau temperature was less than freezing.
4951613 HEAT TRANSFER TO ENDOTHERMIC REACTION ZONE Mohsen N Harandi, Hartley Owen assigned to Mobil Oil Corp A method and apparatus are disclosed for transferring heat to a reaction zone in which hot flue gas is passed through a heat exchanger positioned inside the reaction zone. The flue gas may be generated in a catalyst regenerator, a combustion chamber, or both. The combustion chamber may be external or internal to the heat exchanger. The invention is particularly useful for transferring heat to an endothermic fluid-bed catalytic reaction such as dehydrogenation or aromatization.
4951741 CHEMICAL HEAT PUMP SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING HEAT AND COLD
absence of any phase transition. Reaction kinetics of said system is excellent since only one reversible non-flammable gaseous compound is involved in said chemical heat pump system. Said system can be provided with a computer controlled system for changing the restriction value of the expansion valve. The said system is superior to most conventional compression system by replacing the use of ozone (layer) attacking C.F.C's (chlorofluorocarbons) over the entire temperature range.
4951742 REFRACTORY
HEAT EXCHANGE TUBE
John Keyes assigned to High Performance Tube Inc A finned heat exchange tube is made from a refractory metal such as titanium, titanium alloy, stainless steel, and iron-nickel alloy containing more than 10% nickel, by rolling into the outer surface of a tube of said metal integral fins having a low fin height of less than 0.045 inch (preferably less than 0.033 inch in titanium and less than 0.045 inch for stainless and the ironnickel alloys), a high fin density of at least 26 fins per inch of tube length (preferably from 27 to 30 fins per inch), and a high fin surface area per unit length of tube which is at least 2.4 times greater than the comparable surface area of the tube prior to finning. The thickness of the tube wall underneath the finned area preferably is made less than the height of the fins.
