An embodiment fire safety system for a mobility includes an air conditioner system including a compressor, a condenser, an expander, and an evaporator, wherein the air conditioner system is configured to circulate a refrigerant through the compressor, the condenser, the expander, and the evaporator, a battery pack including a battery and a temperature sensor, a refrigerant injector installed in the battery pack and coupled to the air conditioner system, and a controller configured to control the refrigerant injector to selectively inject the refrigerant into the battery in response to a temperature of the battery measured by the temperature sensor being equal to or greater than a temperature threshold.

Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a venturi valve. The venture valve includes an inlet; an outlet opposite of the inlet; a passage, a primary orifice, and an insert. The passage is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and fluidly coupling the inlet to the outlet. The primary orifice is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and in fluid communication with the passage such that the primary orifice permits fluid to enter the passage. The insert is positioned between the inlet and the outlet, the insert configured to enclose at least a portion of the passage.

Embodiments of an accumulator for charge management are described. A fluid compression system, comprising an accumulator fluidly connected to an evaporator via a spillover port. The spillover port directs working fluid received from the evaporator to be collected and stored in the accumulator, where the stored working fluid is stored and released from the accumulator in response to an operating condition of the evaporator.

A system for measuring and recharging an air conditioning system includes a vent sensor configured to be coupled to an outlet vent of an air conditioning system. The vent sensor is configured to measure at least one parameter of an air flow from the outlet vent. A processor is in signal communication with the vent sensor. The processor is configured to receive the at least one parameter of the air flow and determine a current refrigerant level of the air conditioning system.

An air conditioning recharging machine includes a pair of flexible hoses connected to the air-conditioning system and a recharging assembly to supply a refrigerant fluid to the air-conditioning system through the flexible hoses. The machine has a discharging assembly to discharge the refrigerant fluid from the air-conditioning system and a valve distributor body, which is provided with a series of inlets/outlets hydraulically connected to the flexible hoses, to the recharging assembly and to the discharging assembly. The valve distributor body is in the form of a monobloc made of rigid material which is provided with straight inner through-ducts, each of which extends in the monobloc so as to have the two axial ends which are arranged on two respective faces of said monobloc opposite one to the other, and are each closed by a respective solenoid valve coupled to the face itself.

A filter cap for a body of a refrigerant tank of an automotive HVAC device is provided. The filter cap includes a main body having a rim defining an opening for allowing flow of fluid such as refrigerant. A collar is snap-fit to the cap at the rim. In various embodiments, the collar has a flexible finger that flexes during assembly to the rim, and snaps back into position when fully pressed about the rim. The collar contains a filter membrane between the rim and the collar. The collar has an upper structure such as a plurality of spaced-apart legs. This allows the collar to protect the filter membrane from potential damaging contact while still enabling proper fluid flow through the filter membrane.

A refrigerant cycle apparatus includes a first heat source unit, a utilization unit, and a connection pipe. An installation method includes a refrigerant recovery step of recovering a first refrigerant having a first GWP and one or both of flammability and toxicity from the first heat source unit, and a refrigerant accommodation step of accommodating, in the first heat source unit, a second refrigerant recovered and regenerated from an existing facility and having a second GWP and one or both of non-flammability and non-toxicity.

Example implementations relate to a leak mitigation (LM) system. The LM system may include a collection tank, a first valve unit coupled to the collection tank, a second valve unit coupled to a cooling loop carrying a coolant, and an LM pump coupled between the first valve unit and the second valve unit. Moreover, the leak mitigation system may also include a controller operatively coupled to the first valve unit, the second valve unit, and the LM pump to operate, in an event of a leak of the coolant from the cooling loop, the first valve unit, the second valve unit, and the LM pump to transfer at least a portion of the coolant to the collection tank from the cooling loop via the second valve unit and the first valve unit.

An air-conditioning management system includes: an air conditioning apparatus configured to carry out a refrigerant recovery operation of recovering a refrigerant from a refrigerant circuit that connects an outdoor unit and an indoor unit and sending the recovered refrigerant to each recovery unit of the outdoor unit; and a control unit configured to make a determination whether all the recovered refrigerant is sendable to each recovery unit before a start of the refrigerant recovery operation by the air conditioning apparatus, and to output, when determining that all the recovered refrigerant is not sendable to each recovery unit, a command for notifying the determination.

An outdoor unit 3 of an air conditioner 1 includes an outdoor control unit 31 having a first control mode and a second control mode different from each other as control modes of a refrigerant recovery operation for recovering a refrigerant of a refrigerant circuit 9. A flow rate of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 9 in the first control mode is larger than a flow rate of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 9 in the second control mode.
