Temperature control system and method TDSF plus
A temperature control system is disclosed where thermal energy generated by pressurization of a gaseous medium is stored at a selected temperature level so that it is later readily accessible. Temperature control of a two-phase medium is exercised across selectable dynamic ranges and with different resolutions and the control can be exerted by varying the input flow rate of a mixture applied to a thermal load, or by controlling the back pressure of the flow through the thermal load.
LIQUID CHILLER SYSTEM WITH EXTERNAL EXPANSION VALVE
