Heat modulation dehumidification system
A dehumidification system includes a compressor, a primary evaporator, a primary condenser, a secondary evaporator, a secondary condenser, a modulating valve, and a liquid-cooled alternate condenser. The secondary evaporator receives an inlet airflow and outputs a first airflow to the primary evaporator. The primary evaporator receives the first airflow and outputs a second airflow to the secondary condenser. The secondary condenser receives the second airflow and outputs a third airflow to the primary condenser. The primary condenser receives the third airflow and outputs a dehumidified airflow. The compressor receives a flow of refrigerant from the primary evaporator and provides the flow of refrigerant to the modulating valve. The modulating valve directs the flow of refrigerant to the primary condenser and to the alternate condenser. The alternate condenser receives a portion of the flow of refrigerant and transfers heat from the refrigerant to a flow of fluid.

Systems and methods for predicting refrigerant leakage of a critically charged HVAC/Refrigeration system
A system for predicting a leak of a HVAC/Refrigeration system includes a critically charged HVAC/Refrigeration system configured to circulate a refrigerant to cool a space, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain the subcooling data from the critically charged HVAC/Refrigeration system. The processing circuitry is configured to predict a leak event by providing the subcooling data as an input to a neural network. The neural network is trained using historical data of one or more subcooling parameters of a plurality of critically charged HVAC/Refrigeration systems. The processing circuitry is configured to operate a display to provide a notification to a technician or a manager regarding the predicted leak event at the critically charged HVAC/Refrigeration system.
Compressor control in a vapor compression cooling cycle
Controllers, system and methods for vapor cycle compressor speed management. A system having a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator with a circulating refrigerant or refrigerant is managed. A compressor controller uses expansion valve position, a mass flow estimate, or a mass flow measurement to determine desired compressor speed.
