First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for evaluating operation of a compression cooling system;
- the method comprising the steps of;
(a) in no particular order;
(1) measuring a first temperature of said refrigerant in a saturated state; and
(2) measuring a second temperature of said refrigerant in a liquid state; and
(b) calculating a difference between said first temperature and said second temperature to determine the extant amount of subcooling to which said refrigerant is subjected.

Abstract
A method for evaluating operation of a compression cooling system includes the steps of: (a) in no particular order: (1) measuring a first temperature of the refrigerant in a saturated state; and (2) measuring a second temperature of the refrigerant in a liquid state; and (b) calculating a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature to determine the extant amount of subcooling to which the refrigerant is subjected.

7. A method for evaluating refrigerant charge in a compression cooling system;
- said system including a first system portion in which said refrigerant is substantially always in a saturated state and a second system portion in which said refrigerant is substantially always in a liquid state;
the method comprising the steps of;
(a) in no particular order;
(1) measuring a first temperature of said refrigerant in said first system portion; and
(2) measuring a second temperature of said refrigerant in said second system portion;
(b) calculating a difference between said first temperature and said second temperature to determine the extant amount of subcooling effected by said system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
