MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517030126 A) filed by Danfoss A/S, Nordborg, Denmark, on March 28, for 'a method for avoiding flooding in a vapour compression system.'
Inventor(s) include Kapici, Erhan; Larsen, Lars Finn Sloth; and Green, Torben.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for controlling a vapour compression system (1) is disclosed. A superheat value (13) of refrigerant leaving the evaporator (5) is monitored, and a quantity (15) being representative for a variance of the monitored superheat value (13) is calculated. The expansion device (4) is operated in order to obtain a superheat value (13) of refrigerant leaving the evaporator (5) which is substantially equal to a reference superheat value (14). The reference superheat value (14) is decreased as long as the monitored superheat value (13) exhibits values which are above the reference superheat value (14) as well as below the reference superheat value (14). In the case that the monitored superheat value (13) exhibits only values above a lower superheat limit, where the lower superheat limit is a superheat level which is below the reference superheat value (14) by an amount corresponding to the quantity (15) being representative for a variance of the monitored superheat value (13), decreasing of the reference superheat value (14) is discontinued."
The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 20, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/086939.
