Temperature responsive cooling apparatus

摘要

A temperature responsive cooling apparatus for an air conditioner or a refrigeration system for reducing the cost of operation and maintenance without utilizing electricity, without the need of a supply of fluid that is specially pressurized and without the deposition of nonevaporative components associated with the pretreated fluid. The air conditioner or refrigeration system has an air cooled coil and means for producing a current of air for cooling the coil. The temperature responsive cooling apparatus comprises: (a) a reservoir of fluid, (b) means for transferring the fluid from the reservoir to the temperature responsive cooling apparatus, (c) a fluid control device activated by the current of air for cooling the coil (d) a temperature activated device for terminating and initiating the flow or fluid therethrough in an intermittent fashion for enhancing the operability of the compressor associated with the refrigeration system and for reducing the quantity of water required to cool the coil of the refrigeration system, (e) a fluid treatment device for affecting the nonevaporative components of the fluid prior to engaging the fluid with the coil to prevent, to inhibit or to mitigate the deposition of the nonevaporative components on the coil, (f) means for pretreating the coil with nonfouling material prior to engaging the coil with the fluid, and (g) means for disbursing the fluid to the coil.
