Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT COMPACT VAPOR COMPRESSION COOLING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004029523
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The subject system can provide heat stress relief to individuals operating under, for example, hazardous conditions, or in elevated temperatures, while wearing protective clothing. The subject invention also relates to a condenser for transferring heat from a refrigerant to an external fluid in thermal contact with the condenser. The subject condenser can have a heat transfer surface and can be designed for an external fluid, such as air, to flow across the heat transfer surface and allow the transfer of heat from heat transfer surface to the external fluid. In a specific embodiment, the flow of the external fluid is parallel to the heat transfer surface.
