6 Claims.
'of relative humidity and space temperature in such manner that the evaporator will be used to best advantage considering the relative values .of the relative humidity and space temperature.
More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to' operate such an evaporator coil at low temperature upon excessive relative humidity provided the space temperature is not too low, while preventing any operation of the evaporator coil, irrespective of the value of the relative humidity, if the space temperature should beat a value lower than desired.
2A further object of the present invention is tooperate the evaporator at high temperature upon excessive space temperature irrespective of the relative humidity demand. It will thus be seen that space temperature dominates both upon excessive temperature and low temperature:
A further object of the invention isto operate the evaporator at ahigh or low temperature,
when the space temperature is between an exrefrigerant is supplied thereto through one of the paths whereas the temperature of the evaporator is maintained at 'a low value when the refrigerant is supplied thereto through of the paths.
Further objects of the invention will be -found in'the single drawing which is illustrative of one :form of the invention, in the detailed dethe other scription and in the appended claims.
Referring to the drawing, the air to be conditinned is passedthrough an air conditioning chamber In by means of a fan II which may be driven in any suitable manner, as by the elec-v tric motor l2. This air is then passed to the room or space to be conditioned by means of a duct l3. The air passing through the air conditioning chamber In is cooled by a cooling coil l4, located in the air conditioning chamber H), which cooling coil is adapted to be supplied with refrigerant by a suitable mechanical refrigeration system.
This refrigeration system includes a compressor I5 that is driven by an electric motor I6. Refrigerant is returned from the coil M to the compressor I5 by means of a pipe ll. This refrigerant is thereupon compressed after which it is passed to a condenser 18 by means of a pipe IS. The condenser l8 may be of any of the wellknown types and operates to liquify the compressed gaseous refrigerant delivered thereto by the compressor 15. This liquid refrigerant is then delivered to the cooling coil l4 through two different paths, both of which include pipes 20 One of these paths includes a plain expansion valve 22 of any well known construction which operates to maintain a constant pressure on the coil I4. As is well known in the art, such a plain expansion valve is in reality nothing more than a pressure reducing valve which is operated by the pressure on its eduction side. The liquid refrigerant may also pass from pipe 2|.to'the cooling coil l4 through two series connected valves 23 and 24. The valve 23 may be any suitable type of on or off valve and is herein shown as comprising a solenoid valve. The valve 24 is a thermostatic expansion valvewhich may be of any usual construction and includes a thermostatic bulb 25 which responds to the temconnected to the end of the coil l4 and to pipe I'I.
Whenever liquid refrigerant is available, if the solenoid valve 23 is closed, then refrigerant can pass through the coil I4 only by way of the plain expansion valve 22. This expansion valve is so set that'the temperature of the coil M is maintained well below the dew-point temperathe dew-point of the airpassing over the same ture of the air'passing thereover.
If the solenoid valve 23 is open however, then liquid refrigerant canalso pass through the coil Il -by way of the thermostatic expansion valve 24; Since the thermostatic bulb 25 thereof respond to the tem- -perature of the refrigerant leaving the coil H,
this valve may be and is set so that the coil I4 is always flooded and is maintained at a relatively high temperature which may well be above or slightly below the dew-point-thereof.
The generation or supplying of liquid refrigerant may be controlled in any desirable manner and is herein shown as controlled by starting and stopping the compressor motor Hi. This compressor motor I6 and the solenoid valve .23 are controlled by the cooperative action of a room or space responsive humidity controller, generally indicated at 30, and a room or space responsive temperature controller, or thermostat, generally indicated at 3|.
The humidity responsive controller comprises an actuator 32 that expands and contracts may well take the form of a plurality of strands of hair. as indicated at 33, and its other end is connected to a suitable tension spring 34 by means of a cable 35. The other end of tension spring 34 is suitably fixed a indicated at 36 whereby the actuator 32 is maintained under. tension at all times. A pair of switch carriers 31 and 38, which are respectively pivoted at 39 and 48, are secured to the cable at points indicated at 4| and 42. The switch carrier 31 supports a mercury switch 43 which is arranged to be moved to circuit closed position when the. relative humidity of the air to which the actuator 32 responds falls to some predetermined minimum. The switch carrier 38 supports a mercury switch 44 which is so arranged that it moves to circuit closed position when the relative'humidity of the air to which the actuator 32 responds rises to some predetermined maximum. For the purposes of this explanation, it will be assumed that the mercury switch 43 is in closed circuit position for all relative humidity values below 50% and is in open circuit position for all relative humidity values thereabove. Likewise, it will be assumed that the mercury switch 44 is closed when the relative humidity rises to 60% and is opened for all relative humidity values therebelow.
The temperature responsive thermostat 3| includes an actuator 45 which is herein shown as comprising a bimetallic element having one of its ends fixed as indicated at 46. The other end of bimetallic element 45 controls three switch One end of the actuator 32 is secured there is no available supplyof liquid refrigerant.
Under these conditions, no refrigerant is passing in response to changes in relative humidity and engages contact 5| when the temperature rises Operation With the parts in the position shown, the relative humidity of the space to be controlled is below so that the mercury switch 43 is closed and the mercury switch 44 is open. Also, the temperature of the space to be controlled is between 72 F. and 75 F. so that switch arm 47 is in engagement with contact 50 but the switch arms 48 and 49 are disengaged from their respective contacts 5| and 52. Under these conditions, the solenoid valve 23 is energized bya circuit as follows: line wire 55, wire 56, mercury switch 43, wire 57, wire 58, solenoid valve 23 and wire 59 to line wire 60. However, the compressor motor I6 is deenergized under these conditions so to the coil l4 so that the air passing thereover. and being delivered to the room or space to be controlled is neither being cooled or dehumidified These conditions of temperature and humidity are the desired normal conditions.
If the relative humidity of the room or space to be controlled should rise to 60%, then mercury switch 44 will be moved to closed circuit position,- I
it being noted that mercury switch 43 will thereby be opened. Opening of mercury switch 43 deenergizes solenoid valve 23 by interrupting the circuit just described. Closure of mercury switch 4 44 energizes compressor motor l5 by the following circuit: line wire 55, wire 6|, actuator 45, switch arm 41, contact 5|], wire 62, mercury switch 44, wire 63, .wire 64, compressor motor l6 and wire to line wire 60. A supply of liquid refrigerant will thereupon be provided and this supply of liquid refrigerant can reach the cooling coil l4 only by passing through the plain expansion valve 22 since the solenoid valve 23 has humidity of the room or space to be controlled is thereby lowered. This cooling of the air belowits dew-point will also result in cooling of the space or room to be controlled, and if the temperature thereof drops below 72 F., the switch arm 41 of the temperature controller 3| will disengage contact 50, whereupon the circuit for compressor motor l6 will be interrupted. In
this manner, no more liquid refrigerant will be furnished to the cooling coil |4 so that no further cooling or dehumidification of the air passing thereover can be accomplished. Thus, the switch comprised by switch arm 41 and contact 50 operates as a minimum temperature control to prevent a lowering of the temperature of the room or space to be controlled below some desired minimum irrespective of the relative humidity.
Now if the relative humidity should return to 50% or therebelow so as to again open mercury switch 44 and reclose mercury switch 43, and if the temperature of the room or space rises to 75 F., so as to move switch arm 48 into engagement with contact 5|, then solenoid valve 22 will again be energized by the circuit set forth above and, in addition, the compressor motor l6 will be energized by a circuit as follows: line wire 55, wire 6|, bimetallic element 45, switch arm 48, contact 5|, wire 66, wire 64, compressor motor l6, and wire 65 to line wire 68. The compressor I5 is thereupon again operated to furnish liquid refrigerant and this refrigerant now passes to the cooling coil |4 through the thermo- The bulb 25 of the static expansion valve 24. thermostatic expansion valve 24, in responding to the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the cooling coil l4, maintains the cooling coil temperature relatively high and perhaps. above the dew-point of the air passing thereover,
This air is therefore not only 7 whereby the refrigeration will be used substantially entirely for cooling purposes and no appreciable dehumidification will take place.
If this should result in a rise in relative humidity so that the relative humidity again rises above 50%, then the mercury switch 43 will be opened. This opening of mercury switch 43'will deenergize solenoid valve 23, whereupon the cooling coil I4 will be controlled by the plain expansion valve 22 so that the temperature of cooling coil 14 will be lowered below the dewpoint temperature of the air passing thereover. Under these conditions, a dehumidifying action as well as some cooling will be obtained; The proportion of cooling and dehumidification that is obtained under these conditions will depend on how far below the dew-point temperature of the air passing over the coil 14 the temperature and the compressor motor IE will be operated irrespective of the relative humidity. This energizing circuit for the solenoid valve 23 is as follows: line wire 55, wire 6|, bimetallic element 45, switch arm 49, contact 52, wire 61, wire 58, solenoid valve 23 and wire 59 to line wire 60. Therefore, under conditions of excessive tem perature, the cooling coil I4 is maintained at a high temperature so that the whole effect of the refrigerationapparatus, or the greater part thereof, is utilized in cooling such air and substantially none of it is utilized in dehumidification. In this manner, the temperature of the room or space to be controlled can be maintained below an undesired maximum irrespective of the relative humidity conditions.
To recapitulate, the compressor motor I 5 is operated whenever the room temperature rises. to 75 F. and closes the switch defined by switch arm 48 and contact 5|. Whether or not the liquid refrigerant thus supplied is utilized entirely for cooling or both for cooling and dehumidification'depends upon the relative humidity. If the relative humidity is at 50% or therebelow, the
