Patent Number: 8109446
Publication Date: 2012-02-07
Inventor: Venancio, Rafael

The invention relates to a method of controlling a cell that is used for the rapid cooling of a cooked product. The method includes the steps of taking a period measurement of an internal temperature of the product to be cooled and of the temperature of the ambient air in a chamber; and using the temperature measurements to determine a set value for the temperature of the ambient air inside the chamber. The set temperature value for the ambient air in the chamber is used to control the cold ...

Solar power augmented heat shield systems

Patent Number: 8100341
Publication Date: 2012-01-24
Inventors: Roderick, David; Beigler, Myron

A dual air cavity roof has a continuous upper cavity which is cooled by fans, while the lower cavity is generally sealed. Preferably the cavities are separated by a radiant barrier. The fans are preferably powered by one or more photovoltaic cells that are also disposed on the roof. The roof can be pre-cooled with cooler night air and fans only activated when necessary to remove heat from the solar load on the upper cavity. When it is desirable to remove heat, the fan speed is optimized in ...

Inventor: Dage, Gerhard A.

In at least one embodiment, a system for controlling a vehicle climate control system in response to starting an engine with a remote start operation is provided. The system includes a first sensor for generating a cabin temperature signal indicative of a temperature within the vehicle. The system further includes a controller for controlling idle speed of the engine in response to the cabin temperature signal such that the controlled idle speed enables the climate control system to achieve ...

Ventilation system control

Patent Number: 8096481
Publication Date: 2012-01-17
Inventor: Rudd, Armin F.

A method, system, apparatus, and device to provide an effective, automatic means to effect exhaust, supply, or balanced ventilation, or a combination thereof, by automatically activating a ventilation fan for the selected operation time per cycle interval based on prior fan operation due to automatic cycle operation and user demand. In a second embodiment the ventilation fan controller automatically activates said ventilation fan in conjunction with operation of a blower of a central air ...
